Alberto Moreno

[Gibbo]

He makes Andrea Dossena look as gifted as Andrea Pirlo. He's a whopper.

Very strange comparison Dan, this had Roberto Carlos written all over it.

Ok for everyone to go after Benteke all season about his all round ****ness but not Moreno , also people did all the time with Glen Johnson,

Double standards me thinks.

His second half performance was terrible and if he had been switched on in the first minute of it we might have come out with the trophy.

after seeing him for two seasons don't think he is good enough and want him moved on.

His run on the overlap was instrumental for Sturridge's goal. In any case, he didn't cost us the game. We had plenty of time to react after that mistake, but we didn't. It's stupid to castigate Moreno for that but hey, it's not surprising coming from some of you in here. Binary thinking is the norm.

This is what it comes down to for me, mistakes are part of the game, you need to be able to respond to the set backs and we as a side didn't do that, I don't remember us having a shot in the second half, which when you need goals to get back into a cup final is unforgivable.

Regarding Moreno his defensive abilities have been known to be lacking for sometime, we saw it when he first came in, and he still seems to be making similar mistakes now. At the start of the season Rodgers was playing Gomez instead of him for these reasons, for me left back still remains a problem position and this isn't a reaction to the Europa League final it's a long term issue that hasn't been dealt with.

He didn't cost us the game but he did have a huge impact on key moments in the game.

Obviously a lot of people were very annoyed he was so poor in such a huge game, but performances like that are nothing now for Moreno. The same things that were happening at Sevilla have been happening at LFC, we are just seeing it more regularly and with more critique as it's our club.

He's not a scapegoat nor is he the new person to bash, but he has been a very bad signing for us so far IMO & from what I've seen of him in his career.. he is not a good enough defender to play for LFC.

I went with the Andrea's mate, next time i'll nail it though I promise

People have their favorites that seem to be either immune from criticism or their errors are just washed over or excused, whilst others are chastised. The joys of the forums

Criticism is different to scapegoating.

Cheers for clearing that up Matt. I haven't scapegoated anyone & I'd rather talk about his overall career at LFC, rather than one solitary game in which he was ****e in

[Leyton388]

He's been horrendous in his time here. He hasn't improved. He can't defend, is constantly caught out of position, bottles out of challenges and shoots when he shouldn't. He's not good rough-and-tumble should be sold in the summer.

I'd have rather have kept Glen Johnson .

I never said you were did I?

You mentioned it in direct post to me. Moronic to blame Moreno for 3rd goal you said, pathetic scapegoating you said. He was categorically one of the players at fault for the 3rd goal... obvious conclusion by looking at the replay.

After the initial anger post match reaction which is understandable, I don't think many are saying it was only Moreno's fault we lost the match but that he had a huge role in the outcome. As i said, I'd rather not chastise him for one solitary game and rather look upon his time at LFC.

IMO apart from a few decent opening games, largely it's been a pretty shocking signing.

To be honest, I quite liked the LB Glen Johnson, he seemed more focused and played the role much better than the RB Glen Johnson, so it's not such a foolish statement in my eyes

[Nicey]

GJ arguably had his most considered defensively solid displays in a Liverpool shirt .........at LB

Yep, true enough mate. Just couldnt stand his lack of being arsed towards the end so just happy to be shut of him.

anyway, well chilled about young Ben.

That freaking ball should still be in orbit...I'm still mad...
