Sorry but I've got to disagree with a lot of the posters on here in regards to Moreno, don't get me wrong he has made his mistakes, but he has all the attributes to become a brilliant lb. I don't think we need a replacement, just back up. He is still young and can improve. Is everyone forgetting we nearly won the league with cissokho or no lb. so just wait an see how it pans out before we all start crying.

He has more potential to be a left winger he is constantly caught out of position after flying up the flank when we have the ball then he strolls back when we lose position he is just plain awful.

Right now i'd guesd we won't get a new LB so let's hope Moreno proves us all wrong and improves on his defensive game.

He can't defend and Flagan was move to lb because cissokho was crap.

Flanagan played LB more times than Cissokho that season, and don't forget that we conceded over 50 goals that season, and the defending was the reason we didn't win the league.

Moreno has had 2 years, and has shown no signs of improvement and I think this will be his last at Liverpool if he doesn't learn how to defend.

A brilliant left back? Sorry but just because he is slightly okay going forward does not mean he has the attributes to be a brilliant left back. That is the problem these days, everyone thinks a speedy wing back who can supply goals from decent wing play and link up attacks well, that he is doing a good job?

I mean have we totally forgot about the defensive side of the game. The players who can do both are great players, but in this day and age there are very little of them Alaba for me being at the top of his game in that position.

Moreno cannot defend, positionally, tactically or physically he has pace, but it often uses that while sprinting back from being out of position to make a rash/ failed challenge, give him 3-5 years and he could be okay but we cannot afford to give him that time.

As for nearly winning the league with Aly Cissokho he was a totally different player, full back compared to a wing back. Absolutely dreadful going forward, passing the ball, but he could defend and unlike Moreno used his pace to his advantage.

OP, stop trying to pull the wool over people's eyes as it's embarrassing. Just like his fellow liability Migs, Moreno has been crap since he got here. He was always crap and could never defend. BR was warned that this was the type of player we would be getting but since BR couldn't defend against a team of statues is incompetent at defensive football, he took him on for the shambles he continues to be. The guy makes some of the worst decisions I've ever seen on a football pitch, defensively. The is always a WTF moment with him and don't get me started on the amount of goals he's caused. Brilliant left back? We will be drinking cold water in hell before that happens.

Have you not seen Albertos flying karate kicks.

His complete un assedness when he is blatantly at fault for something.

That flipping back heel in the final when we were still in the game.


Moreno does what hr wants and its almost 87.22452% wrong. He's like that hard-faced (ed002? I joke 😉) kid in a u12's team, the smart ass who knows da fooking LOT, and like were saying pass out of defence and he just starts wellying it just well cose he can, an is dad is der if I give i'm any grief about it.

Never once seen Moreno look upset that he cost a goal (like motivation that **** that's never happening again, hence why he doesn't learn)

Never seen him show any kids of willingness to play anyway other than his.

He has the lot skill wise but unfortunately not the head.

Toccie - what are these attributes you claim he has to be a brilliant left back?

Positional awareness? Tactical awareness? Marking? Tracking runners? Tackling? Closing down crosses/ shots? Intercepting through balls? Ball control?
I have seen him play many times and he does not display any of these attributes. The only attributes he does display are pace and stamina.

I've said it again and again he can't attack or defend he is completely one footed, gets caught out of position and those great lunging challenges some love are only needed because he is caught out and they will cause pelenties.

I mean he has the physical attributes, the other parts of his game he can learn, which hopefully he does.

Its not a matter of learning, skill, attributes or any of that crap anymore with moreno.

Just watch his pure, basic decision making in matches. Stuff that someone who never kicked a ball in their life could work out. He seemingly has something mentally unstable with him. He isn't just a bad left back, his decision making is so bad it shoots our own team in the foot every single match.
