There may be an element of Klopp keeping him hungry. some players respond well to that approach, Moreno being a good example.

I hope so, starting to wonder why he isn't getting into the squad, not saying he should be playing but I would have liked to have seen him come on in games. He needs to play in order to develop. No rush some will say but will he be looking elsewhere if he isn't playing?
I think he's got his head screwed on so can't see him getting itchy feet .... yet. I agree though, he does need more game time as he's already shown he's developing quickly and a lot faster than his contempories.
I think Klopp in a way wants to keep everyone happy, the media have been attacking him for not playing Gomez on
Saturday. Moreno coming good is somehow not helpful to our new left back.

He's a forward/winger/no10
we have salah all season. firmino all season. solanke all season, sturrdige most all of the season... and then mane has been in and out.
wilson's never got a shot. woodburn has sat watching games. Ings is nowhere close. Origi is on loan.
Then we buy ox and also have milner.
Its going to be tough for him to come through all of that. He's got to add something to his game, perhaps intensity or the pressing game
Klopp on potential Lallana return and other changes v Sevilla
James Carroll @James_Carroll84
Adam Lallana is ‘knocking on the door’ to return to action admits Jürgen Klopp, but Liverpool will manage his comeback and won’t rush him back into the fold.
After missing all of the 2017-18 season to date with a thigh injury sustained in pre-season, the midfielder resumed full training with his teammates last week.
Lallana was also part of the 23-man travelling squad Klopp named for the trip to Spain on Monday to face Sevilla in the Champions League group-stage encounter.
Asked whether the No.20 could be included in Tuesday's matchday squad, the manager told Liverpoolfc.com: “He is getting nearer and nearer, but we need him for the rest of the season and not for the next weeks.
“He is really knocking on the door and it’s fantastic that he is back. It’s great.”
Elsewhere, Klopp confirmed Liverpool will make at least one change from the team deployed against Southampton at the weekend, with Loris Karius to return in goal as he has for the previous four Champions League fixtures.
On other possible tweaks, the boss added: "Maybe! With the quality we have, it’s always a mixture of what you have to think about – it’s about rhythm on the one side, and freshness on the other side.
"Then there are specific questions that the other team will ask us, so you look and say, ‘they’re strong on this and strong on that, so what can we do?’ Then you make the line-up.
"The last game was not that intense, so we could go with the same line-up for sure – but 100 per cent we will not, because Loris will play! So, yes – we will make a change!"

Massive incentive for Sevilla. They beat us and they are through.
It looks like we will need >1 point from 2 matches. If we draw tonight we still need a point at home against spartak. If we lose we have to win next week and if we win we are through.
Would be happy with a draw tonight.
I'm very confident we will do over spartak at anfield. this tonight is about 1st or 2nd in group
This is exactly the type of game we wanted to be in last year. We are probably a little harsh to want too already be qualified given we led at home to seville and spartak defended for a 0-0 at their place.... but.... well tonights a great opportunity for us.
This seems dangerously optimistic for you. You ok?
