You won’t believe what Klopp’s said about Moreno…

Posted by

Mo Salah has 44 goals this season… Roberto Firmino is on 27… Sadio Mane’s got 19.

But according to Jurgen Klopp, Alberto Moreno, who has just three in 133 Liverpool appearances, is the best shooter at the club!

Our German boss has waxed lyrical about the Spaniard, who lost his place at left-back to Andrew Robertson before Christmas after picking up an injury.

Klopp reckons Moreno could do a job as a no.10, or on the flank – and that he strikers a ball better than our lauded front-three.

‘He’s an outstanding football player,’ Klopp told Liverpool’s YouTube channel.

‘I think everybody in the team would say that he could play No 10, offensive wing, the right wing and the left wing.

‘He is the best shooter in the squad. Unfortunately nobody knows that because in the games it didn’t happen.

‘He played an outstanding pre-season, first part of the season and then he got an injury and Robbo (Robertson) stepped up and took the opportunity quite impressively.’

Klopp sees Moreno in training, so knows better than us!

And we’ve learnt better than to question his judgement, anyway.

But still, these are some pretty big claims from the manager.

Robertson’s spot at left-back is very much his to lose now, so it remains to be seen if Moreno will be happy staying at the club this summer as his backup.

Despite what Klopp says, we can’t see the 25-year-old being used as an attacker too often, or it would have already been tried.

We’re more than happy for Moreno, who gives us his all every time he pulls on a red shirt, to stay and fight for minutes.
