He was the only player in the squad where you'd feel confident of him beating his man 1 on 1, the rest of them lacked the quality and/or confidence.

Nah. Turbo does that all the time. It's just what happens next that lets him down.

1. Trying to win a corner by kicking it against the recovering defender (if we had success at set-pieces then this would be acceptable)
2. Putting in a crap left-footed cross
3. Cutting onto his right to put the ball into the crowd
4. Passing it back to Robertson to provide a crap cross from deep

He and Markovic could have made all the difference if the typical quality of their final ball was better.

Majority of our goals came from breakaways in the last few months.

I thought Moses was our best and most exciting player before his injury, very similar style to Kyle Walker. Hopefully the injury doesn't cause him too many problems and he can get fully fit.

Out of the two Robertson is much better on the front foot and getting forwards. Moses probably had the edge defensively - but not by much. Robertson has played quite a few PL games now and Moses hasn't played one.

A couple of points - a paper can print a story whenever the **** it likes. If there really is something from Liverpool with Robbo, he'd have known all about it well before the papers gotnwind of anything. Do you reckon he got into the dressing room and checked twitter to find out?

There was another thing being discussed which I've forgotten about.

Robertson, quality player. Has everything but can be very inconsistent with his delivery. One footed is a stupid point and his defensive frailties are exaggerated well beyond reason, he's very good defensively but as a short arse full back he's always going to get beaten by a big beast at the back post.

I think playing in a side like Liverpools would see him flourish and take further steps of improvement, he's done just about all he can for us. It might take him awhile to get into the swing of things but I'm sure he won't be a disappointment.

Assuming it's true and actually happens of course.

Totally agree with this. One of my favourites, always gives his all, plays for the shirt, would definitely flourish in a Liverpool side, will only get better and better. Bale-esque type of player and better than people are making out defensively. I hope he stays, I don't want to lose him.

You can learn at 31, age is irrelevant. He's better than he was when we got him, I still don't understand why he hasn't been converted into a winger.

I'd argue that he's marginally better but he's certainly not considerably better. Compare the difference in development between him and Odubajo. Moses improved drastically in his year playing with us

For the umpteenth time - Moses has not yet played or proven himself in the Premier League. Robertson has.

Yep, he's proven himself to be an average full-back and that he should be playing a different position. Moses might prove himself to be exceptional.

I don't think he has improved at all. That's not necessarily his fault.

But he hasn't yet. Average you say? Surprised at the number of knowledgeable football managers that are keen on him. I expect they are a tad more experienced in knowing who is and who isn't better than average than you.

They might be chasing him to play left midfield / wing, where I think he absolutely could excel.

When the best part of a wide player's game is his ability to cross, shoot and run at the opposition and the weakest parts of his game are positional and tackling, then where would you advocate playing him?

Do the words Gareth and Bale mean anything to you?

As it's clearly to fill the position that they've been playing a midfielder in - then no.
