Said few days ago is like to see Lovren n Sakho at CB with Moreno and Flanno/Manno at RB. Nice young full backs and youngish CBs could be a settled back 4 for 5 or 6 years.
 
Moreno scored a Bale esque goal, but wont get the plaudits. He is constantly up supporting the attack, great player thus far.
I like Manquilo, but he just needs to calm down a bit, still miles ahead of Johnson though. I would still expect Flanno to come in as 1st choice RB when fit.

He was playing CF at one point <laugh>
 
Johnson will still play as soon as he's fit. He's still got that absurd clause in his contract which means he plays when fit. **** knows which moron put that in there...

You know if that's true? Would make sense <laugh?

I thought he should have been MOTM too. As good as sterling was I think Moreno showed what he is about and why Rodgers was so patient in waiting to get him. He's still very inexperienced but the potential there is for all to see.

American tv gave Moreno motm in their coverage.
 
So this is why BR spent all summer chasing him ... and credit to the committee for negotiating a great deal for him. £12m is a bargain.

Even against Man City, I thought he was our best defender bar that critical mistake.

Still has a long way to go but very encouraging signs.

Manquillo is a very solid defender as well - we finally have two full backs who can actually defend. And I disagree with Gez - Flanno shouldn't get a look in if Manquillo is consistent.
 
Can I just point out that at this stage last season we were all singing Kolo Toure's praises after a very solid start to the season...<whistle>

I don't think for one second that Moreno will take the same path but lets give the lad a chance to settle before putting him on a pedestal eh? And yes, that goes for all new signings including Mario Balo-****ing-telli <laugh>

Exactly. Players can have great starts and turn out to be poor or vice-versa. Whatever the start, we should give them time to see what happens.
