Alberto Moreno

[Fuzzy]

Is there a better LB option that would be willing to come here and play as little as he does? He was perfectly fine yesterday and now he won't play for another two months, and that's that. Also seems like he's a great factor in squad morale. Just keep him far away from any cup finals.

[Les Zeffelin]

See now that just makes me warm more to the idea of swapping him for the Some Mother's Do 'ave 'em tape cause it could probably fulfil the same purpose. Couldn't defend any worse than Albert anyway.

Havent watched it again, but was he at fault for the goal as it was down the left side?

Yup, doesn't get tight to his man and then does a stupid little jump in air. Nothing new.

[dom9]

Yeah it was Lovren's fault too.

[danperkins]

Yeah lost his man I think

[Kenneth]

They just got lucky with the deflection on the cross, we had it well covered otherwise.

I think it was your fault. Kind of karma for already predicting it.

Eh? The goal was completely Moreno’s fault. Rushes in and gets done far too easily. Puts his hands up and lets the player through without challenging.

Other than that, he seemed to play very well.

Mane has already said that he, Mane, lost concentration and should've been helping Moreno out, but let's not let that stand in the way of giving him a good kicking.

Lots of goals come about because one team momentarily overloads a part of the pitch whilst the other team has lost concentration. It is NOT always the fault of the player that has been isolated.

That did happen, but if he'd conceded a freekick, as many defenders would have, it would have been a worse option percentages wise. Probably wouldn't have been labelled as completely his fault if we had conceded from it too.

It wasn't a dangerous situation, we had plenty of defenders in position, it was just a fluke.

Very nice of Mane to say so but Moreno is left back and he is responsible for holding the defensive line with the other 2 CBs and RB.

I’m not a Moreno fan Dan but if Robbo had been playing and a similar goal happened I don’t think anyone would have even noticed/said anything. I actually thought he did well yesterday and some of the ‘blame’ being leveled at him for the goal is just bias (not aiming this at you btw ).

[Kenneth]

Not exclusively anyway.

I watched the whole game on sky Replay. Kept rewinding the goal. There is zero chance Robbo does what Moreno did. Robbo is just a proper defender and sniffs out danger. Had Moreno not rushed in (why do we always ask that about Moreno? Why oh why?) then he stops the cross going in. No flukey deflection, no goal.

Moreno had a good game otherwise. Great cross for Lallana and offered himself well on Mane's side thus freeing up Sadio to do his magic. Would I like to see him on the pitch for us again. No thanks.
