Moreno still looks like an accident waiting to happen to me, his positional sense is suspect to say the least.


But he is great going forward, better than both Robertson and Milner and this is what Klopp likes.


I'd prefer someone who can defend and when we lose the ball is near our penalty box to make a tackle rather than at the oppositions penalty box waiting for a pass from our midfield.

Exactly! The primary job of a left back is to defend. If he can attack as well it's a bonus.

I also think Robertson is better going forward, he looks more controlled and has a really good cross, maybe we should try him on corners? we have been pretty wasteful on them.

How's marco silva doing at Watford?

He seems decent enough to take over. Apart from the 0-6 drubbing last week he's been great.

It's too late for this season. Might as well see what he can do.

Klopp decided last season Moreno wasn't good enough. Now he's decided he is good enough, which is it? The Moreno situation perfectly sums up the manager for me. No clear plan or strategy, especially when it comes to the defence. Unless you count buying midfielders for all positions,

Yep, like his policy on the keepers, switching them round for competitions, it's like he's making a point to use all his options, when it actually weakens the team. Pick your best and stick with them until they are not playing well, then change them, that's what a squad is for.

I think he's been stung by how we suffered last season with injuries, he knows we didn't manage to bring in enough players in the summer, so he's trying to manage that and prevent injuries/fatigue by rotating more, even if it weakens the team.

You know we'll have a completely different goalkeeper and back 4 playing on Saturday. It's laughable, it's beyond stupid but it's the same every week. I'm at a loss with what the manager is trying to achieve, hence why I'm convinced he doesn't care about or do any work on defending.

I'd agree, but he's won leagues in Germany, you can't do that without a good defense/coaching, I'm at a loss to explain it, all I can think is his plan is to rotate to minimise injuries and improve fitness, even if it weakens the team.

Like you say, on Saturday It will be another mix of players who will look at each other like they have met on the pub car park before the game....

The worrying thing is there does not see an end to this coming, it's not like we're missing a few key players so we will improve in a few weeks.
