Robertson seems much less prone to "brainfarts" than Moreno. Ideally we would have a player that combines Moreno's attacking prowess with (although it's early days) Robertson's defensive capabilities. I think we will see that he will edge out Moreno due to his game intelligence and superior defensive capabilities. Although it is early days , I also think he has a better end product in the final third than Moreno too.
I perfectly understand Klopp's system and philosophy thank you , but there comes a time when we need defenders with the intelligence and spatial awareness to know how to defend under pressure which Moreno has again and again shows he lacks. I also think he is better offensively than either Clyne or Moreno and our fullbacks should be Robertson and TAA. Along with Van Dijk and Matip/Lovren in the middle I think we finally have a defence that will be difficult to break down.
I agree with most of the points raised. You, however, appear to miss the point I am making. I do not intend to make a comparison between them as both have weaknesses and strengths. Moreno is also 20 months older. Robertson sample size is small and whilst there have been positive and negative aspects to his game, it is too soon to be going overboard as fans are prone to do. I again refer to the derby game in the league where he offered little going forward despite Everton defending deep. Rooney"s diagonal cross leading to the penalty came from his side of the pitch.
Both Moreno and Robertson will benefit from having VVD playing next to them and I therefore anticipate a vast improvement in our play on that side of the pitch. As Moreno is quicker than Robertson, does Klopp use him differently in that he is deployed a lot higher on the pitch due to the pace of VVD and the recovering ability of Moreno? Which side is to be the attacking outlet will depend on the fullbacks deployed on either side. One will be more defensive than the other thereby exposing such flank and player. That will be where the risk play is and where the defender may become exposed.
Anyway, I digress and have in a way made a comparison. I just shudder to think the fans reaction when Moreno next plays and makes a mistake. Will his every moment be scrutinized?? Pundits will have a field day. He is a marked man in the same way Karius is. I do agree that defensively Robertson is the better bet in the "bigger" games. However, is that Klopp's philosophy and does it detract from his style of defending from the top.
