00:00It's fair to say that Mikey Moore yesterday played really well, but he hasn't started
00:04in the Premier League so far, so do you imagine that he's kind of getting to the stage where
00:09he is now ready to start a Premier League match?
00:12Look, he's ready to start any game.
00:14Like I said, I just feel that, especially with young players, you've just got to be
00:20really careful about their introduction into senior football.
00:24It's not like he's, even last year, didn't really have a full season of football.
00:29He had quite a few injuries, a couple of injuries that left him out.
00:32He went from under-18s football to playing very little under-21s before we integrated
00:37him.
00:38So you have to look at that.
00:39I think he's still physically growing, and you have to take that into account.
00:43So I think he's ready to play, start a Premier League game for sure, but for me, it's about
00:50making sure that, for us, what we want to do is continue to kind of develop Mikey in
00:56the right way, give him the platform to keep improving.
01:01So far, whatever we've asked of him, he's made a real impact, and the plan is to continue
01:06to do that.
