He needs to improve if he wants a future at this amazing club. Shown in flashes he has good potential but for me he is a weak link in the current system. May do better if we revert to a flat 4 at the back but remain unconvinced at the moment."Its not about the long ball or the short ball, its about the right ball." Bob Paisley

Personally I think wing back is one of the hardest positions in football to play well in against an organised opposition, as they will tend to double up on you there and leave you with all sorts of critical decisions to make about whether to step up or step back. Against Utd Moreno collapsed a little under the pressure from Valencia & Mata, and he has made other mistakes this season, but he's also shown a lot of positives and we have to believe he will learn and continue developing.
I said last summer than anyone expecting Moreno to come in and be a significant upgrade in that position immediately was not being realistic, he was bought for his talent and his potential more than his immediate level. Hopefully he goes on to realise that with us. Comparing him to Dossena is just laughable really.I could not dig, I dared not rob:
Therefore I lied to please the mob.
Now all my lies are proved untrue
And I must face the men I slew.
What tale shall serve me here among
Mine angry and defrauded young?

it's a poxy position.. back and fourth like a greyhound. No mercy in that position, I bet he's never worked as hard before in his career.
I think he'll be great next season & has been better than I expected. Watched him alot at Sevilla and he is making the same mistakes as he did there but it was always going to be a long game when we bought him. Hopefully next season he'll flourish.

22 Years old, first season in the toughest league in football in a team in that hasn't recovered from losing their best player. Give the lad a bit of patience, if he hasn't improved in a years time then fair enough.Originally posted by Tee View PostHe ain't good enough. I have seen more than enough. Same mistakes game after game, I honest think we need a new LB this summer. Had high hopes for Moreno but he is not going to cut it here.
He's excellent going forward and more than young enough to improve the defensive side of his game.
