Sure you said lawal will never be a midfielder for us after watching him for half an hour yesterday. |
I've watched Lawal a fair few times, and clearly articulated the reason why I don't think midfield will end up being his best position. I think he could make a perfectly good centre back at a higher level, but his touch and lack of comfort on the half-turn make it unlikely his long term position will be centre mid. Not quite the same as writing of Moran who has objectively had a good impact at Championship level in his first loan.

An actual Irish born and raised creative player is a rare specimen. First one we've produced since Wes came through two decades ago. At least Moran won't have to wait til he's 30 to get recognised and appreciated |
Depends who the next manager is |
If the next manager doesn't rate Moran he shouldn't be the next manager.

Objectively he hasn't had a good impact . Most of the blackburn fans what him benched or send back to Brighton . Their main criticism of Moran is that he is getting bullied out of games . And its nothing to do with size its as giles put it his lack of positional sense . His ability to find space . Moran gets fouled all the time because he takes too many touches on the ball he doesn't release the ball quick enough.
People use to always wonder why Mesuit who was a wonderfully technically gifted footballer use to get bullied out of the games by oafs like phil jones . Its because Ozil didn't see the game quick enough . He wasn't able to think two three steps ahead of the opposition like all great playmakers xavi zidane , scholes ,silva, brady etc.
I might seem like i am going off on a tangent but there is point to my madness .
The Irish media particularly those muppets on off the ball have been anointing this kid Irelands next great midfielder. The lads on off the ball have gone as far as to calling him the Irish Phil Foden .
I don't hear anyone in England's media calling Phil Foden the English Messi and if they ever do we would be laughing at them.

Moran would almost certainly be at a disadvantage playing down the Championship with his size especially his first season as a teenager. Ludicrous to suggest otherwise. He’s doing fine for them speaking to a Blackburn fan recently he said he’s gone a bit flat recently after hitting the ground like a train.
I genuinely would see Moran going backwards long term if he doesn’t get a chance at Brighton and keeps going back to the English lower Leagues. Blackburn about as good an EFL team he could be at currently in terms of suiting his skill set.

Out of interest, where did you go to get that consensus on Moran from "most of the Blackburn fans"?

You've just named some of the best players in the world to compare him to
He's in his first season of senior football, he'll be learning a lot doing so.
Having said that when he left Bray I didn't think he'd make it precisely because he was so slight. But he's more than proved me wrong so far.

Were they spending their careers down the Championship/English lower Leagues?? Angel Gomes and Marcus Edwards two examples of decent English footballers who are similar in style to Moran who flourished when they went to Leagues that suited their skillset which weren’t the English lower Leagues.
That was my point. He’s at no better team than Blackburn to learn out to deal with the above as you say. Something he will be learning.

Foden1981, welcome to the forum, the more voices the better the conversation. I don't post that often, but I do enjoy reading postings by people who know more than me. Most of the good posters avoid, most of the time, being confrontational, they state what they think and might also write how something a player did / didn't do supports that view. Moran is a young player finding his feet. Asking "Whats moran excuse ." is a bit out there.

Here we go - 20 year old has 3 goals and 8 assists in 25 games during his first loan for a Championship club, but he's in dire trouble of being another dud apparently |
Sure you said lawal will never be a midfielder for us after watching him for half an hour yesterday. |
I've watched Lawal a fair few times, and clearly articulated the reason why I don't think midfield will end up being his best position. I think he could make a perfectly good centre back at a higher level, but his touch and lack of comfort on the half-turn make it unlikely his long term position will be centre mid. Not quite the same as writing of Moran who has objectively had a good impact at Championship level in his first loan. |
Objectively he hasn't had a good impact . Most of the blackburn fans what him benched or send back to Brighton . Their main criticism of Moran is that he is getting bullied out of games . And its nothing to do with size its as giles put it his lack of positional sense . His ability to find space . Moran gets fouled all the time because he takes too many touches on the ball he doesn't release the ball quick enough.
People use to always wonder why Mesuit who was a wonderfully technically gifted footballer use to get bullied out of the games by oafs like phil jones . Its because Ozil didn't see the game quick enough . He wasn't able to think two three steps ahead of the opposition like all great playmakers xavi zidane , scholes ,silva, brady etc.
I might seem like i am going off on a tangent but there is point to my madness .
The Irish media particularly those muppets on off the ball have been anointing this kid Irelands next great midfielder. The lads on off the ball have gone as far as to calling him the Irish Phil Foden .
I don't hear anyone in England's media calling Phil Foden the English Messi and if they ever do we would be laughing at them. |
We tend to get carried away on here and in this country when a nice prospect comes along We’d Omabomidele as the next Maldini a few years ago |
Yeah, good thing he's found his level as being absolutely sh*te, along with Moran and Ferguson I'll never understand the type of mindset that is so triggered about positivity around Irish players that they'd rather wish for their downfall than hope for their success - why bother supporting a team if that's your default position?

I wonder are you familar with the term hyperbole because thats whats calling Moran the irish phil foden is .
I bet you are one of those weird Irish fans who believe that if wess hoolohan was born in spain . He would be playing for Barcelona.

Who’s wishing for their downfall??
Just pointing out that we get carried away over any player showing a bit of form. Every nation has plenty of players doing similar or better really.
I saw people calling Ferguson world class a few months ago on here for example Come on now, let’s stay level headed

Lawal was absolutely atrocious in that U21s game away to Norway.
He seemed to have no sense of position but hopefully was just a bad day at the office.
