4. Alberto Moreno

Spanish left back Alberto Moreno has endured a nightmare start to the Liverpool campaign. His poor play has drawn the ire of the club’s fans and football pundits alike. His horrible start could easily lead to a January departure.

In all honesty, I’m still a believer in Moreno’s talent. I acknowledge that he’s wildly inconsistent, but I’m still more inclined to believe he could be Liverpool’s long-term answer at left back than James Milner.

I’m guessing Klopp doesn’t agree. He’s quickly banished Moreno to the bench in favor of the converted English defender. Milner is certainly the safer choice, but he lacks the tantalizing upside of Moreno.

Even though I still think Moreno has a chance to develop into a consistent player, I wouldn’t blame Klopp for trying to purchase a more finished product this January. Left back will surely be a position the club addresses this winter, and it could easily lead to Moreno leaving Anfield for good.
