    Kopite, I’m no Moreno fan whatsoever.
    I’d have sold him by now but he can’t be singularly to blame.
    He hasn’t even been the worst defender.
    Lovrens been poor.
    I’ve liked what I’ve seen from Robbo so far and I’d be starting him.
    Hopefully it’s only a matter of time before Klopp does.

    Moreno was drawn towards the ball in the middle for the first goal of Leicester, then he put his hands behind his back in a ridiculous posture that is used in La Liga but isn’t effective to get a good block. Same as Robertson who left his left zone to come and deflect the ball in the middle for Leicester’s first goal in midweek.

    Moreno seems to be a popular lad and gets on very well with Coutinho, maybe that was the reason Klopp kept him. Convert him into a winger and I would not begrudge him a place in our squad.

    I would disagree with that and say that Moreno is the worst defender, by an incredible margin. Lovren hasn’t cpovered himself in glory and Gmoez has had iffy moments (but he’s young). However, Moreno is probably the worst defender that we’ve had since Traore. He may even be worse really.

    Im with mrM and I honestly dont think Moreno has a brain. Its like when you let a stupid dog of the lead it just runs and bumps into things. He throws himself into tackles and his timing is non existant. He hasn`t a clue when it comes to picking players up and sensing danger. The longer he holds down that place the more points we will drop because if he hasnt learned to sort it out by now then he simply does not possess the intelligence to ever sort it out.

    This season.
    That clearly goes to Lovren.

    It was a gamble by Klopp to not get better defenders in the summer but we got to back him. However, I still think that we should invest in the scouting system, Southampton has been churning out talent for years now, it’s not a fluke what they have been doing. They signed Lemina for 18 million and from what I’ve seen of him already he looks a good player. Same goes for VVD when he was at Celtic, we should have been on top of that.

    But as for the defence, its too late to stock it with potential bargain buys, we are going to need at least one Marquee level defender to come in ASAP.

    Lovren and moreno have been bad but gomez hasnt exactly been brilliant either. Opposition players get past him too easily. Albrighton went past him like he wasnt there for leicesters 2nd goal. Had to foul richarlison at watford which led to watfords 3rd goal. Fuck even Ramsey went past him easily.

    And Matip was ball watching for agueros goal and again when Vardy got the penalty. The less said about klavan the better.

    ALL of our defenders have been POOR yes all of them some worst then others but as a team we have defended poorly as well. One big issue is a lack of stability in the back 5 we have chopped & changed how do we expect the defenders to create partnerships & get confidence up? Yes players get injured yes some rotation is required but this has become ridiculous. Scoring 3 or 4 goals every game is not going to happen so we need to learn to defend as a unit very quickly.

    we rotate at the back far to much in my opoinion ak. we have different full backs nearly every game. Different centre half pairings etc. The back 4 need to build up an understanding and they cant if we keep changing the back for al the time.

    we need to rotate but we make far to many chnages. 7 after the sevilla game for burnley.

    Moreno should not be playingbut our full backs are always tucked in. I think moreno was following instructions on sat to tuck in ,that left gray free.

    Matip is our best defender. He was decent on sat but he needs a proper centre half besid ehim. Lovren is gone beyond the joke now.

    im a fan of winji but hes not doing enough now. Can started wel on sat then looked like a sunday league player then came back into it. In fairness to henderson, he got stuck in and was in the refs ear all the time.Took his goal really well. Gooid performacne from him
