Hi Eds

Is it true Moreno is not actually a left back? I was speaking to a few Spanish friends who told me the season we bought him he'd spent a year covering left back and before that he was a pacy attacking winger with a bright future. I mean I'm not sure if it's true but it's not totally out of the question that Brendan would of bought a winger to play left back. He bought Caulker to play up front ;-)
Just though Moreno could be an option in attack with a bit of work.

{Ed001's Note - no he was a failed winger that got moved to full back to try and make something of him. You do realise it was Klopp who took Caulker on loan right?}

Erm I'm not 100% on this but I think he was in the Spain u20s with Suso, delefau and Jesé so the manager at the time there moved him to left back for the tournement and he did really well. The same team also had the likes of Oliver Torres. So I think that was the moment he was switched.

He was being touted for Chelsea and Real and had a few caps for Spain at a young age. Hindsight says he was an awful signing but at the time it looked a decent buy.

I actually think he is a good footballer. He has pace, the workrate, good technique on the ball, and the energy. I also think he is a good character to be around in the dressing room. However, he lacks a footballing brain, making him make rash and stupid decisions on the field. e. g. remember him hacking down steven naismith twice in the penalty area in front of the referee at Norwich?

First game of the season against Arsenal too despite all the criticism he had after the EL final.

Exactly pessimist - he lacks football intelligence which makes him a poor footballer.
If you can't rely on a player then all their technical ability is worthless.
Xabi Alonso and Maldini have an interesting take on football being a game of intelligence. Maldini saying "if I have to make a tackle then I have already made an error".
You have to be able to understand the game and read the game. Intelligence is what separates the good from the great in this game.
