Thanjk you.

I just hope Robertson will break in to the first team very soon. Moreno is simply not good enough, even if he in patches shows some talent going forward. But he just gives away to many good opportunities for me to ever want him as our starter in that position.
The system that Klopp favours requires an attacking fullback. He wasn't so bad the other night. Was caught out for the first goal, but was solid for the rest of the game. Name me a fullback of this kind who can defend well consistently in this style of play.
It'd be fine if we had a hyper aware scampering DM (like peak era Mascherano). Not sure that any of our option have the awareness to cover him well. I guess an alternative would be a good leader at CB to do his thinking for him.

Harsh! He hasn't played a game for us yet. Hold the criticism until he's had a chance to prove himself. Also, he's had quite a bit of premier league experience for Hull (3 years / 100 games). I'd say he's well capable of playing the role once he's fit and ready to go.
Same qualities are mad albert decent going forward, but poor defender. Was only bought for cover anyways. Can't see him being as bad as Moreno but I doubt he will be the next Paulo Maldini.
I applaud Klopp for his views on development, but I think it's safe to say that Moreno is a bust.
He was atrocious against Hertha, showing all his flaws, but had a sensational game against Bayern, and a good game against Bilbao, was OK against Watford, and atrocious against Hoffenheim.
It's his fourth season with us, and I haven't seen improvements from when he first arrived. I thought he was going to be world class for us. He had all the raw attributes needed to be a success. Real Madrid were desperate to get him in January 2014, and we moved for him later that summer.
I don't think anyone intended to bid £15million for him, and all articles by the likes of Reddy etc, were suggesting Milner would be our starting LB. The games against Bayern and Bilbao have saved him, and perhaps, Klopp wants a little more balance, but I'm tired of Moreno being near the side. He needed binning after the Europa League Final against Sevilla. It was one of the most appalling performances I've ever seen from a player, and were it not for his age and athleticism, Klopp probably would've ditched him. He has no intelligence. One of the factors Rafa Benitez kept banging on about when he was here, was mentality, and game intelligence. During our best years in modern times, we had players who had a strong mentality and game intelligence. Moreno is the exact opposite of that.
It looks as though he'll be fighting with Robertson. I hope the latter has more intelligence to learn and improve, and we can upgrade on Moreno next summer.

Gone under the radar today given how good a lot of the other lads were, he didn't just bomb forward all day he was solid too. Very good performance all round today, I can't help it, I like him
I thought he was excellent today.. but mainly because he's wild tackles actually got the ball.
That said, I notice some consideration in holding up the attacking player instead of always wildly lunging in. His positioning was actually pretty sound too!
