    Mooy or O’Riley is really the only decision Ange has to make in my opinion. I would go with Mooy, but with him missing the last game through injury and O’Riley looking much better than he has, I’ve a feeling Ange might start O’Riley.

    He hasnt missed the last few, only the last game. Been one of if not our best player in the past couple months. He has earned the start if he is fit. Play the man!!

    Mooy because he’s the better player and has more experience in big games.

    I like O’Riley, but I’ve seen a few takes suggesting that we play him because we need legs.

    I don’t know if I’ve lost the plot, but to me he looks very robotic and immobile for a young central midfielder, albeit technically very good.

    Matt for me as he wins a lot of ball back and has a good number of assists against the huns , as with most I wouldn't be against starting either and it is indeed a good thing having the depth to see this as a tough decision.

    Yeah he’s definitely stiff and robotic in ways like you say. If you look at his stats though, he is one of the leading ball winners in our press.

    I think the last game at Ibrox showed why we need to start Mooy. A game against Rangers is always a battle of the midfield and Mooy is far better at controlling the ball, passing out of trouble and giving his team mates an outlet.
