Alberto Moreno

[red g]

Not for me

Robertson has got to the byline quite a lot, put some dangerous balls in at times as well

He also looks miles more comfortable defensively

......and has a right foot !!

As good as Robertson has been this season (and I'm a fan of him, as well as AM) he did himself no favours last night - a very Clyne-esque performance - didn't offer enough going forward for me and passed it back/sideways far too much.

He's got a cracking delivery but if we're playing against a roadblock I think Moreno is more effective. We dont have a big CF to get on the end of the crosses so to whip them in you need the ball ideally between the CBs and the GK to cause problems - this is usually 3/4 yards at most with teams setting up so deep. It's too much.

Definitely room for improvement for Robertson but for me Moreno needs to come back into the XI when fit.

I think Robertson can play even better, but he’s barely put a foot wrong so far.

I think he (as you say) fundamentally understand the position better than Moreno who is more of a maverick.

I was unfortunate enough to have gone to the West Brom game last night, and what was very noticeable was the amount of times Robertson would take up a good, free position, called out for the ball and was ignored by Coutinho, Firmino or whoever. It wasn't until Oxlade came on that he was given the ball in a more advanced position.

Those ****s obviously hate him cos he is going to oust their pal mad alberto.

Maybe its the accent?

Yeh, racist ****s.

I definitely feel like it was both. Coutinho wanted to do it all on his own too much and held the ball too long/looked for Firmino. But Robertson also ignored many chances to cross, instead playing the ball back inside.

Although it did feel like maybe he had been instructed to do so because his natural game previously has been to cross it in early. Moreno does seem to cause more chaos playing those 1-2s because he is so unpredictable, where with Robertson he is either going to cross the ball or keep it.

[Norbs]

Yeah, I mentioned to a friend that Robertson seemed to be cutting inside or passing it back too much. That said, there was little space to exploit in the box and any interception the keeper made could've led to a swift counter by them so crossing would've been dangerous

[Fredo]

Our football is based on keeping possession as much as possible, so I'm not surprised. Robertson doesn't have Moreno's pace or explosiveness which makes it difficult for him to do that.

[Assassin]

Are there any updates on when he is likely to return from this freak injury??

[Kenneth]

When Robertson gets injured.

[Assassin]

When Robertson gets injured.

How convenient

[Deano]

He's recovered I believe, but given an absence of leave to grieve now his lil Phil has left him .....

Deserves a bump, if only to nick this from F365

Andrew Robertson has spent the last three months showing why he is better than Moreno. On Saturday, Moreno spent 90 minutes showing why he is worse than Robertson.
