    Thought Mooy was quite poor when he came on tbh. Not that O'Riley was amazing either but can't see where you got that from.

    He was good in the Killie game but let's be honest, that Killie side were absolutely atrocious beyond belief for that spell..

    Good showing and nice finishes but that can't be ignored..

    Nice assist in the hun game although I still don't think he was anything close to his best..

    Poor overall for me today..

    He also had a great through ball to Kyogo in the 2nd who tried to chip the keeper but he read it well and made the save.

    I've been a big critic off O'Riley this season but he was one of our best players today (not that it's saying much).

    It wasn't it was over hit. It's why Kyogo missed it. Time he got to it he was too close to the keeper to get it over him. Kyogo did well to get to it at all

    Most of our play went through Mooy when he came on. He put in a beauty of a cross too.

    Did our defence lose the ball for the umpteenth time due to being ridiculously slow? I must of missed that.

    He was * awful and has been for majority of the season

    I agree he wants his best, no one was today. But in all of the last 3 he has been better than Mooy. I believe both will be better but right now, I trust O'Reilly more than Mooy to start. Ideally hatate is back and we go McGregor Iwata Hatate to start though.

    Hmm I'll need to watch again. I honestly can't remember him doing too much ,one cross aside (was it the one for Oh?)

    Too drunk now to remember much actually.

    Similar to yourself, thought Mooy was poor today, didn't think he was any better than O'Riley at all, who I thought today was OK?

    Mooy coming on was more about his fitness for next week, I'd guess. Today thought he was a downgrade on O'Riley.

    Matt played well first half, faded second half.

    Didn't know he was on 2nd half, was half decent in 2nd half, midfield were awful for majority

    Class first half. Fell off it in the second, but so did everyone bar CCV.

    Quality in the first half.

    I think the second half was a reminder that in this team and in this system we need all 3 midfielders playing well or none of them will be particularly great.
