There is this but concerning that one of our best players isn’t even getting in the squad 

What is really odd about that is everytime he's played for them, he's played well and been one of their better players.  Its not like he's had a poor game or anything.

Exactly, and it's not as if he's being kept out the team by some superstar left back. It's Moreno ffs. Although he is Spanish so that ticks a box!

And he has tended to come in from completely outside the squad into a starting place. I think it's just Klopp's way of doing things.

Moreno is garbage.

Steven Fletcher's peak at club level was during the time he fell out with Levein who refused to pick him.

He had a good season at Burnley, hit double figures at Wolves and then had a great start at Sunderland where I think he scored 6 goals in his first 10 games. This was all at premier league level.

Think the big move to Sunderland diluted his ambitions though and he was more concerned with cars and stuff with his fat contracts and that's been reflected with the lack of goals on the pitch for last 3-4 years.

Used to score double figures in the premier league, now struggles to score that in the championship.

Just watched him, I’d like to see him getting selected again. He’s definitely got something to offer, Anya nowhere near the squad again.

Russell has got the physique and burst of pace that would be useful for the next campaign, if no one better comes along.

Derby v Forest - Russell played well, he will always put in a shift, but his final ball lets him down too often. 

Martin didn't get on until 75 mins

Forsyth is slowly coming back to form and fitness after missing the best part of 2 seasons. 

Mackay showed plenty of skill but should of scored when 1 on 1. It was always going to be difficult for him playing up against a beast of a defender in Wisdom. 

Cummings looks to be playing wide right or wide left. Again, plenty of skill, good movement but had a couple of chances he should of taken. After 70 mins the petulance came out and tried a few cynical tackles and took a pot shot from 45 yards when a better pass was on. To be fair, he worked hard.

Anya will be leaving in Jan, Bryson is at Cardiff on loan but was having a few beers in the pub beside the stadium with the fans pre match.

Russell's final ball should be a shot at goal, none of this in off the flank nonsense.

He's been playing wide for 5 seasons and his instinct for shooting at goal has been on the wain for a while. He's more of a grafting wide midfielder these days.

Some Liverpool fans online are beginning to speculate if Andy Robertson was actually a "chairman's signing" and whether Klopp ever really wanted him at the club.

Quite a lot of their fans do rate Robertson and want to see him starting matches for them however.

Looks like he's paid the price for being out of position for a goal they conceded a few weeks ago when he last started. I watched Moreno yesterday and he wasn't great. Got skinned a couple of times and his delivery is nowhere near as good as Robertson.
