Opponents will struggle against Moore
Chris Mepham believes any side will struggle to contain Kieffer Moore at the World Cup.
The striker was summoned from the bench at half-time as Wales trailed the USA 1-0 in their tournament opener on Monday night. Moore was pivotal to the improvement of Rob Page's side in the second-half at Ahmad Bin Ali Stadium as Wales claimed a draw courtesy of Gareth Bale's late penalty.
And Moore's Bournemouth team-mate Mepham admits, collectively, his side showed far more bravery in the second-half of the draw with Gregg Berhalter's men following a sloppy opening 45.
“Kieffer made a massive difference for us coming on and we looked a much better team second-half," said the defender. “Any team coming up against him is going to struggle. I probably know him better than anyone, playing with him week-in week-out at club level.
“I know much of a handful he can be and certainly as a defender I wouldn’t like to come up against that.
"It wasn’t just Kieffer, I think we changed our mindset a little, we knew we had to be more aggressive, we had to be a bit braver with the ball and I think that coincided with Kieffer coming on too."
