Ed001, do you know if we are still looking to bring in a new left back? and if so, do you know who we are looking at? or are we happy with milner and moreno? personally have to say i think milner is doing very well, and still hope moreno will improve enough to be our first choise left back for years to come.

{Ed001's Note - Milner does not see his long term future at left back, which is the issue really. He is beginning to settle in, but Moreno is not pushing him for his place at all, even though he has knuckled down and worked hard, he is just not learning. We are still considering Tierney of Celtic, but there are a few other clubs, such as the Manchester clubs and Arsenal, also looking at him.}

Would love us to get Tierney we always win trophies with Scots in the side. Unfortunately he is the only Scottish player good enough at the moment to play for us . He has still got a lot to learn but in my opinion he would be more than just potential.

Milner doesn't still see himself as a CM does he ed?
He must surely see he's doing better at left back and therefore should be happy he's a better and more important member of the team and more likely to win trophies as a result?

{Ed001's Note - he would prefer to be in central midfield yes, though he is beginning to find his feet at left back, so perhaps he will grow to love it. While things are going well, it is one thing, but that could change so easily, so only time will really tell. He is certainly a lot happier about being left back than he was initially.}

Better than the bench from his point of view i suppose.

Moreno showed us that he has not improved during his time out of the side. His woeful defensive display against Tottenham included his "trademark" tackles in the penalty area, his complete lack of positional awareness and his inability to deliver any attacking end product.

We just need a replacement as he is a liability. I'm still baffled that a replacement wasn't a priority pre season.

If Milner picks up any injury or suspension we will be back to seeing every team attacking us down Moreno's flank knowing that that is our week link!

To be fair, he wasn't bad against Tottenham and even looked like he has learned a lesson or two. Nothing to suggest he takes his position back, but give credit where it's due. He certainly wasn't woeful.

We shall have to agree to disagree Amerigo 😁

I saw nothing against that very weak Tottenham side that showed Moreno has improved.

I agree with Amerigo, his time out and hard work seem to have improved him from woeful to deeply average if the spurs game is anything to go by.

Ed1 would you prefer Tierney or would you want TAA to be given his chance? I understand for TAA it's probably a little to early. I know nothing about Tierney I just don't want incoming when we have these youngsters you know?

{Ed001's Note - TAA all day long.}

Thought Moreno did ok at Spurs but yet again let himself down by getting caught upfield at 2-1 with minutes to go and but for some poor control would've been punished for it. If you look at his reaction at the time he knew it too. He seems a nice lad but like others have said he just doesn't seem to learn.

Ed, just to add something to the left back thread, it was clear we were after a young left back following our pursuit of Ben Chilwell in the summer.

With numerous clubs circling and him not being on a professional contract yet, do you see us being interested in Josh Tymon of Hull City?

{Ed001's Note - he has been recommended to us, so I would expect us to be interested. I never realised he was a left back though.}

If Milner do not find his long term at LB, then I think we need find replacement for Milner and LB.

ed001 - is there general agreement within the club that we need to recruit someone for LB? I remember Klopp saying something like we have options etc, but I just can't see that he would truly be satisfied with this current situation where Milner is playing out of position (albeit very well) and Moreno as the main competition?

do you see any suitable players out there that we should be bringing in? or should we continue to develop TAA and J. Gomez etc?

{Ed001's Note - the club are continuing to look around for a left back yes. Neither TAA nor Gomez are seen as left backs.}

Do you think it's likely we will look to buy a new LB in the January transfer window or is it more like the summer?

Personally I'm hoping Moreno keeps up his good form and we don't need to buy anybody else but we'll see. I think finally he's really looking quite good and deserves another chance, even over Milner. Milner no doubt did great in that position but if he's not happy there then Moreno deserves another go and the past 2 games he's played (especially Saturday) he's impressed me. I'll probably get slammed for this but its just my opinion. Credit to the lad.

{Ed001's Note - summer is most likely now.}

hello Ed01, do you see any future for Moreno in Liverpool, say as a left winger?

{Ed001's Note - not as a left winger, no. If he can continue to work hard at his game and improve, then he has a future.}

I've never seen this Tierney lad play so I'm not writing him off. A word of caution though, Scotland has been a dire league for years and is almost wrapped up already by a Club which has been royally hammered in Europe. In short, looking good in Scotland might not be much of a testimonial and just because some big clubs are monitoring him says very little. Everyone's after decent defenders and any player showing even a little promise will invite a bidding-war.
I'd stick with a very impressive Milner with Gomez, Klavan and Moreno as back-up till the end of the season. I stand to be corrected on Tierney if it happens but I think we're too well equipped in the LB department to be panic-buying until at least the end of the season.

What about Jon Flannagan? He seemed to do fine a few seasons ago when we nearly won the title. He is back from a long injury, and if he is performing well, then why not bring him back from his loan? He is a class played in my opinion.
