Just a thought for you all to comment on. How about putting Moreno on the left midfield in front of Gomez? Not only would he protect Gomez but could be effective using his pace when attacking. Don't know how the rest of the team would be set up but the left side should be solid.

Have Posted the same thing twice today 😎 think it would be a great idea

Moreno wouldn't be a bad shout but does he have enought to be a winger is the question.

4411, Gomez and Moreno on the left, Clyne and Milner on the right, Can and Hendo in the middle, Couts/firmino behind Big Ben. If Hendo out for a while push Milner in with Can and put Ibe or markovic in front of Clyne, this formation would improve the fluidity of the team and probably make us more compact when defending and more dynamic going forward

I was thinking this Robbie. Watching the game yesterday and it's obvious our best line up includes Firmino. But we lost width when he replaced Ibe. Moreno on the flank is a good shout because he's rapid

I thought Moreno was very good when he came on last night

With my mind on arsenal away I've been thinking about this. If we defend deep, crowd the middle and counter with pace down the wings we could cause them real difficulties. Ibe and Moreno could be perfect for that (if Rodgers let's then off the leash). Lallana would drop to the bench.

Funny I was thinking the same thing last night.

Bale started at left back so why not move Moreno on as well.

Always thought Johnson would have been better as a right midfield player like he did at Portsmouth for a whole.

I said 12 months ago that Moreno was looking like a poor man's Gareth Bale. He's far better used in an attacking role despite being stuck at left-back (as per Bale at Spurs when he first went there).
Moreno could be a revelation if used right.

Moreno had a 9 minute stint!! agains ta very tired francis ritchie and elphick, and on 2 occasions he still didn't get back in a hurry when Bournemouth countered and he dived for a free kick. seriously,we're judging altering the formation based on a cameo of fresh legs which ultimately still didn't impact the game?

Calm mate, Lallana will start against Arsenal. We know BR very well.

I think every would agree that Moreno is a decent player going forward.

True he did come on at the end but I think a run of games in that position would do him good.

Moreno does a 15 min cameo against Bournemouth and now you're all asking for him to be made left-mid?

All summer you've been raving about how Ibe was the next coming of Barnes, and now he's shipped out for the next sensation on the wings?

There's a reason we're all posting on here and not managers. Quite frankly 99% of you are knee-jerk specialists.

Bob, my thinking was more that we needed pace and ball control on the wings to launch counter-attacks. Moreno may be a good option for that, certainly more suitable than Lallana. Firmino would probably be as good.

I understand the point,but you can play markovic in that role. who actually gets back to help more. From what I saw (granted only 9 minutes) he still failed to get back twice glaringly when they countered. I don't think you can go and alter a players position after one 9 minute cameo,I think people are getting carried away here. There was nothing you could really grasp from that that the same thing wouldn't happen to him as happened to Ibe who has even better ball control and pace,Ibe was simply forced out wide all night with Lallana coming across to cover,and gomez not going forward enough to give a second option
