A fantastic start to 2017/2018, which saw him grab an assist in the win in round one and then a goal in the round two victory, meant the former Melbourne City man had well and truly arrived. Mooy’s stellar performances saw him praised by the media, other supporters, even the odd porn star.

The ‘Pasty Pirlo’ had made it. His displays in Russia in June for the Socceroos, despite Australia’s early group exit, only further cemented his growing reputation.

Mooy enjoyed a strong bond with Wagner, the bespectacled German who learned under Jurgen Klopp. Wagner spoke often of his respect and belief in the bald Aussie, describing him as the “heart” of his team. The adage was when Mooy played well, Huddersfield usually played well and won.

Fast forward to January 14, 2019. The Terriers are propping up the bottom of the Premier League ladder. A terrible run has seen them with just one point from their past nine games. They are eight points from safety. Looking like certainties for relegation, Wagner departs the club by mutual consent.

The man who most believed in Mooy, who has been his biggest supporter, has gone. Season 2018/2019 has not gone to plan for the Australian international. He has notched a solid two goals in 15 appearances, but Huddersfield have struggled for results, with little strike-power up front.

Mooy then picks up a serious knee injury against Newcastle United in mid-December, ruling him out for the next two or months and out of the Asian Cup.

Since Mooy’s injury, Town’s record is six losses and one draw. Jan Siewert has been appointed as the club’s new manager, but they still need to dig themselves out of a massive hole to escape relegation. Most think they have no chance.

With Wagner gone, and Huddersfield seemingly headed back to the Championship, where does that leave Mooy?
