Moreno getting a lot of plaudits as MOTM and rightly so but not sure what he was doing so high up the pitch when they scored and we are 1-0 up.
This has been mentioned a few times and it's probably fair that it was bad decision but to weight much of the blame on this is completely unfair. Look at Lucas and Gerrard, they're completely taken out of the game by a pass into their position, they were too far up also but even at that point we have enough cover.
I personally have not too many problems with Moreno being up there, if you sit back you also invite pressure, sometimes the safest way to defend is have the ball in their half and if we do manage to get the 2nd then it's game over too.
It's Migs decision and positioning that is 100% wrong and has to carry 75% of the blame for that goal, stay back and it's most likely nothing comes of that. Lucas or Gerrard, more likely Gerrard should be sitting deeper at that stage, he should carry some of the stick for that too. Lovren of course could do better but think he's getting a lot of unwarranted stick, had Migs stayed where he should have then we'd have an attacker running away from goal with no support heading out of the box with the ball.
