He wants that left-back slot back.
And just like that, it’s gone.
Alberto Moreno was in great form over the pre-season. Jurgen Klopp had openly expressed his faith in the Spaniard’s defending capabilities and was not going to bring anyone else in.
Sure there was talk of James Milner slotting in if needed but Moreno felt supremely confident he would be lining out in the Liverpool back four.
2016/17 was going to be great. He had a new haircut and all.

Then, it started.
Moreno had a nightmare against Arsenal but his team escaped with a 4-3 win. He was dropped to the bench and The Milner Experiment began.
Four games into the season and it is still going. Moreno has seen 14 minutes of action since conceding a penalty, going missing for Theo Walcott’s goal and getting horribly exposed, at regular intervals.
Moreno was them spotted pushing a child’s buggy whilst on a hoverboard but he has buckled down since then.
The 24-year-old wants his left-back slot back and he has gone to extreme lengths to show he ain’t messing around.

It’s the first step on a long, serious road back.
Naturally, the football world rejoiced:
