While Moore may not have completely thrown the towel in, it was obvious his heart wasn’t in it this season. There were periods in games when he spent as much time on his arse as on his feet.

He very definitely became more fragile, going to ground far easier and much more frequently than he did 2020/21. He was also guilty of a few genuinely embarrassing dives. I don’t think there’s any doubt that he’d wanted out for some time.
