Is it game over for Alberto Moreno? The error-prone Spaniard has been bench-bound for six of the last seven games, but based on Jurgen Klopp's latest comments, there may be a way back for Moreno.
In his post-Hull press conference, Klopp enthused:
"One of the best players in training in the last few weeks has been Alberto Moreno. He took the situation brilliantly and is in a really good moment".
Moreno started Liverpool's midweek League Cup victory over Derby, and helped the club keep a clean sheet, so that's obviously a positive. When it comes to the league, though, James Milner has his feet firmly under the table, and given the Reds' superb current form, it will take a lot to displace him.
I honestly believe that Moreno - who is dubiously rated at €28m by CIES - can still have a future at Liverpool, but only if Klopp coaches out his bad habits, specifically:
* Reckless tackles, some of which are so brainless that it's hard to comprehend how a person of sound mind is capable of making such stupid decisions.
* Positioning, but this is surely something that can be improved?
In my view, Moreno should have a tailored coaching regime focused on improving these two areas. Is it worth trying to improve him, or should the club just cut its losses and sign a new left-back?
