Very good MK. quite harsh on Clyne. I don't mind him. ok he never lights up the stadium, or very rarely but he is quite solid. I think Liverpool have missed him this season. I'm thinking of the players who featured in last seasons fairly good season who are missing this time. They are Clyne and Lallana. its probably Lallana that we miss the most but it is our defence that has been repeatedly questioned. He does make mistakes but what defenders don't? 2/ 3? his end product wasn't great last season, he would do really well by getting into the final third, beating a man or playing nice one twos, but the cross would be awful. his passing along the ground in the final third is pretty good, and like Jordan henderson, he can be relied upon to receive the ball and move it on as Liverpool look to create a goal. I think you're right that he is not good enough to be our no1 RB, he would be fine at a mid table team (when we think of mid table we think of stoke, dunno why but we all do. its like stoke have made mid table their own) Stoke or Burnley, Everton even. or leicster.

Loved the bit about Moreno. I'm not his only fan. He is good eh, when he gets the ball in the final third you feel like something could happen. his passing is excellent (well he is Spanish) his movement is superb and his finishing is top draw, oh wait, he is a fb isn't he, or quite rightly mentioned by MK, he is more of a wb. One thing it didn't mention is that Alberto is a bit of a hard nut. he's a tough little cookie, trust. When our forwards get deliberately fowled you will see Moreno giving the offending player a crunching tackle five minutes later or sometimes a blatant foul. its like he is saying, "leave off our kid"

Very good read though MK, you and ED01 have a talent for writing. it's not just getting the information across its how you get it across. I read your stuff guys and it is enjoyable to read. it flows nicely and you feel like the writer has made an effort to entertain you. Nice one, thanks.

Shame about Flanagan, i think he would be our right back now if he had not got injured. perhaps that is why we are having trouble in that position as Flanagan was always meant to be the main rb.

TAA is such an exciting prospect. he has that thing that class youngsters have where he doesn't look out of his depth. Similar to Rashford over at utd. these guys look at home playing with the first team. You just know he is going to be brilliant. very excited to see him in a more advanced role. Shame about the milk cup as he may have been given a midfield role against Bumscratch Athletic.

I thought you might do a little sub-section about Can and Milner who have both covered at Rb/ Lb this season. Understandable that you didn't as they haven't played there much.

Cheers Super red. I actually had to delete some bits on Clyne that we're too harsh 😂 i really don't rate him mate. Respect that you do though.

I did consider including Milner here and Can in the centre back article, but opted not to in the end. They are only really used there as emergencies or when a game plan goes to pot.

Thanks for the feedback though mate.

You're very welcome KK7. I've enjoyed writing them. Thank you for asking me to do them, and thanks to everyone for reading.

Really enjoyed your articles mk, hit pretty much every nail on the head, though I think you were too kind to Clyne, the amount of times he slowed down our attacks by never having the balls to take the opposition fb on and playing it backwards and inside had me screaming at the TV, hell Milner playing on his wrong foot must have put 5/ 10 times the amount of by line crosses in last season.

Idontlooklikeklopp, agree it was too kind on Clyne mate. No joke, i deleted pretty much a whole paragraph because i re-read it and had concerns he might take me to court 😂 🤐 I tried so hard to be as nice as possible! Thanks though mate.

Thank you Longthing76, i feel like i have my own groupy 😂 top lad!

I will bet good money that Clyne will be first choice again when fit. I don't get how this site has such as problem with him.

Eds01 has alluded to something behind the scenes regarding Clynes injury so hope he's ok, but TAA and Gomez have to be ahead of him now in the pecking order.
