Gomez trying his hardest at the end to pip Moreno as worst player on the park but Alberto had that tied up already.
By far and away the worst performance I have seen by a Liverpool player this season. Not one thing I can say he done right and unbelievably he managed to lose every 50/50 and he went in for a good few. Doesn’t have a football brain whatsoever; commits when he shouldn’t and doesn’t when he should.
Almost felt sorry for him after he conceeded that free kick after getting the piss taken out him again by Phillips. He looked dejected and probably knows he isn’t good enough. Wouldn’t want him as a back up or even 3rd choice - get rid as soon as possible.
Similar to Mignolet at the start of his Liverpool career you tolerated his mistakes in the belief that high standards would eventually come to him. But then over time, tolerance turned to pity and pity eventually turned to anger. Now anger has turned to loathing and that's where I am with Moreno and have been for a while now. Loathing a player on his quality alone is a desperate state of affairs for any supporter. So bad that when you see him sitting on the bench or even taking to the field for 5 minutes at the end of a comfortable 3-0 victory and you think 'f**k off out of here you charlatan'. You should feel sympathy for a player making a fool of himself and generally destroying his career prospects in front of millions of people. You really should. But when it's the same thing, 4 years on, time and time again (and arguably worse than he was when he first walked into the club) there is no reserve of sympathy left.
After 4 years you expect to see improvement or at least an awareness and a tireless work ethic to cover for the lack of skills he'll never have. But there has been no evidence of that. Not a jot. And given the state of affairs where such players are paid millions a year, naturally the supporter has a short fuse and takes a very cynical viewpoint on it all and believes that he hasn't improved because he simply doesn't want to or worse doesn't think he needs to improve - a misplaced arrogance. So naturally we come to the point of intolerance and loathing towards such players. That's the situation with Moreno and it has been for a while. For Mignolet too. It's bad enough seeing these players stealing a living but what's worse is the bad influence they spread across the whole team - such is their appalling levels of "football" they bring out the worst in players alongside them, dragging excellent, hard working players down to their levels. A corrupting influence on the quality and future development of the team. Getting rid of the likes of Moreno ASAP is imperative this summer. Imperative.
