On current form him and Jenkinson have zero chance of getting in their parent teams starting XI's

Way back on page 33 I described Moses's performance as 'utter gash'.

He should have been all over Evans ( who King Carlton was making a fool of 5 years ago) but didn't look like he fancied it.

I was really surprised that Slaven didn't replace Moses with Antonio around the hour mark, Antonio could not have contributed any less.

Really not a big fan of Moses. He impresses at times when he picks the ball up from deep and charges forward, but those moments are few and far between. The rest of the time he's ambling about without much of a purpose or protection to our midfield and defence. We seem to be carrying him as everyone else make more of an impact. Unless he quickly learns to get more involved in games like the others do, then he should be dropped. He's had it all his own way so far and hasn't rewarded the manager with his faith in continually playing him when he's not producing the goods.

I don't dislike him, I just think it's his turn to be used as an impact sub and give someone else a go. I would have dropped him a while ago.

It's easier to pick out the players who are making mistakes which in turn makes them memorable than those who do nothing at all and go under the radar. Most probably why Moses might be seen to be getting an easy ride, people forgot he was on the pitch. Apart from that sitter at the end of course!

I've not read the entire thread but has anybody picked up on Fletcher's handball immediately before their goal? He takes Ogbonna's (?) clearance down with his left arm and the ball runs to Lambert. I thought this at the time but having watched it on MOTD it definitely came off his arm.
