Liverpool news: Alberto Moreno defensive skills slammed, he’s just a ball player – Upson

Those are the thoughts of former Arsenal and West Ham defender Matthew Upson.

Liverpool were torn apart on Sunday as they were thrashed 4-1 by Tottenham at Wembley.

More questions were asked of the Reds defence, and they have now conceded 16 times in the Premier League this term.

And Upson is most worried about Moreno, labelling him a ‘liability’.

“The right-back position has been exposed because Clyne, who I think is a good player, has been out for the majority of the season.

“The left-back, Moreno, when you watch him play, he’s all about the ball.

“Out of possession, he’s a bit of a liability at times.

“The centre half pairing isn’t as solid as you’d hope for.

“And you have a goalkeeper who isn’t most reassuring that you’d want to play in front of.

“Mix all that together, plus a very attacking style, what it does is leaves you with big spaces at the back.

“The mobility, the organisation, that defensive instinct for your full back to cover when you go tight. 

“All these things aren’t happening with Liverpool and it leave them horribly exposed every time they play.”

Liverpool, who are ninth in the table, will hope to get back to winning ways against Huddersfield on Saturday (3pm).
