“Fresh Postecoglou Call Leaves Mikey Moore Frustrated and Facing Uncertain Tottenham Future”
“Mikey Moore’s Frustration Grows Amid Fresh Postecoglou Revelation at Tottenham”
Mikey Moore has struggled to get minutes on the pitch recently for Tottenham.
Although it’s been a largely disappointing season for Spurs, there have still been a few glimpses of hope.
Perhaps none more so than Moore, who has had a breakout season in North London despite being only 17.
But with key players returning from injury and the pressure mounting on Ange Postecoglou, opportunities for the teenager have become increasingly scarce.
Despite proving he can thrive at senior level, Moore has been left on the sidelines by Postecoglou in recent weeks.
The 17-year-old has shown maturity beyond his years, but with opportunities drying up, frustration is beginning to mount.
Paul Robinson — speaking exclusively to Tottenham News — believes that Tottenham’s own struggles could ultimately hinder Moore’s progress, with Postecoglou unwilling to take the gamble amidst the club’s ongoing regression.
Paul Robinson — speaking exclusively to Tottenham News — believes that Spurs’ ongoing struggles could ultimately stunt Moore’s development, with Postecoglou unwilling to take risks during such a turbulent period. “He’s only a youngster — any first-team minutes he gets this season should be seen as a bonus,” Robinson admitted, suggesting that while Moore has shown promise, the current state of the team makes it difficult to offer him consistent opportunities.
Robinson went on to highlight the challenges Moore faces in breaking into the first team consistently. “He’s been in and around the squad, training every day with the first team. But with the situation Tottenham are in, Ange isn’t going to use him regularly — not even in the Europa League. He’s going to stick with his tried and trusted players,” Robinson explained. “And now, with more of the senior squad returning from injury, it’s even harder for Mikey to get those minutes.”
Despite making 16 appearances in all competitions this season — scoring one goal and providing two assists — Mikey Moore’s chances of featuring regularly for Tottenham seem to be fading.
Speaking exclusively to Tottenham News, Paul Robinson believes Moore’s opportunities will only become more limited as Postecoglou’s squad returns to full strength. “That’s the time he’s going to be judged — between now and the end of the season,” Robinson said. “Ange hasn’t had the players to play the way he wants; they just haven’t been available. But now he’s got a squad strong enough and good enough to compete, and unfortunately, that will be to Mikey Moore’s detriment. Postecoglou will turn to those senior players.”
Tottenham Could Consider Loan Move for Moore
With Tottenham desperate for improvement next season, opportunities for young talents like Mikey Moore could become even more scarce.
Given the circumstances, a loan move may be on the cards for Moore as he looks to gain the regular first-team football he deserves to continue his development.
Despite his young age, Moore is likely to feel frustrated at being overlooked — especially considering the underwhelming displays of some of the senior players ahead of him in the pecking order. A temporary move away could provide him with the platform to showcase his talent and return to Spurs stronger and more experienced.
