Now even Bayern Munich are trolling Alberto Moreno

Can't catch a break

Darragh Murphy

Poor Alberto Moreno is copping flak from all angles.

The Liverpool left back first came in for abuse from a select group of overly critical Liverpool fans. Then Jamie Carragher got involved. And then the floodgates opened.

You’d struggle to find a more under-fire player currently plying his trade in the Premier League than Moreno and, unfortunately for him, Reds fans are an awfully vocal bunch.

Jurgen Klopp’s hand has been forced, as much as he’s backed his full back in the media, and now James Milner finds himself occupying the space on the left hand side of the German’s back four.

Liverpool are running out of time to sign a left back in the summer transfer window and, in all likelihood, there won’t be one arriving but that didn’t stop an optimistic fan taking the bull by the horns and asking Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich to part with David Alaba in exchange for Moreno.

It’s safe to say that the request was not entertained by Bayern’s Twitter account.

Oh how Moreno’s stock has fallen from the days when he was considered the next Roberto Carlos by gun-jumping Thierry Henry.
