Alberto Moreno

[Buzzo]

He's been good recently, gets a ridiculously hard time. He's clearly instructed to push on so mistakes defensively are inevitable, it's like accusing Dani Alves of neglecting his defensive duties. When the team is functioning, he is an asset, when the team is struggling he is exposed.

I wouldn't compare him with Alves just yet, the thing is, his attacking output hasn't been great, in terms of assist or goals, but he's been getting better and better, to the point he should warrant another season.

He's nowhere near Alves level, but he is being asked to do the same job. When that much is asked from your full backs it's churlish that many complain about the odd mistake. If a full back attacking that high up the pitch is caught out of position, then the team should be covering for him. It's the system not the individual, and I'll venture that Moreno is a really good, attacking full back.

It's not the odd mistake. His positioning on the pitch during attacking phases from the opposition is shocking. His crossing or critical pass in the final third during our attacking phases are poor. It's no surprise we're being heavily linked with Jonas (the German left-back), who apparently, can cross, make a critical pass successfully during attacks, and has good positioning on the pitch.

He's been better recently, which is encouraging, and I hope the introduction of a solid full-back will help his development in terms of learning.

[Buzzo]

I agree he's not perfect. He's just not the car crash some depict him as.

I've been critical, but I agree he's been good lately, he has the attributes so maybe Klopp can develop him.

[Roboklopp]

Also he's like someone's over enthusiastic kid bro, which is quite endearing.

He comes across as a really energetic, fun guy and it looks infectious. I bet he's great to have around and whilst that softens my opinion of him, he is capable of huge brain farts.

Buzzo's point is right in that playing him high up the pitch is a sacrifice Klopp seems willing to make and being exposed is inevitable. However, his love of going to ground or a little nibble at the oppositions' heels combined with his positional play means we can improve in this position.

Plus I have issues with players who can't use either foot. His whole body shape and even the direction he runs can be dictated by his left foot and doubly ****s up his positioning.

I like Moreno but bring in a higher quality left back and have him as back-up.

[Fredo]

We should have bought Plastic Bertrand instead.

[Robbie-9-Fowler]

If Smith played anywhere near his level we'd be wanking into socks, Moreno is only a year older. I like him personally, yeah he's got brainfart moments but he's very good in some aspects too. Hopefully a full preseason under Klopp will iron out a lot of his issues.

rather unfair on albie, as most leftbacks only use their right foot to step on the team bus

ahh, this take me back a few years

yeh, smith looks like he could be much better than moreno. better end product, just as fast/faster? decent tackle too.

Sure, there aren't many two-footed left backs but the majority at this level can execute a simple pass with their weaker foot. Moreno's lack of any right foot means he goes to tackle with the wrong foot and if you push him infield you know that he's going to be forced to pass back 99% of the time.

I like him, I hope he comes good and is given cup runouts on the left wing. I definitely think we can improve in this area but not necessarily with the urgency that we need to show when we address our 'keeper and midfield situation.
