Week-in, week-out, if you put on MOTD or Sky Sports after one of our games, they analyse our defensive shortcomings and sort of half-do opposition scouting for them. Moreno, has almost, always been under question and teams will just continually try to exploit the left when he is playing - whether the goal was his fault or not, teams will just pile the pressure onto him because they know he is not at the level needed to handle the defensive pressure.
The question is, will that come? Do you stick or twist?
The very same could be said for Migs in goal - which is why we've gone out and gotten him backup and competition (it seems like we may be sticking with him for the time being).
Said it before and I'll say it again - if we hadn't paid at the fee as we did for Moreno, he'd have been loaned out to a Championship club to get experience, like so many other Spanish players that we've had. And that isn't anything against Spanish players, but it is as if Moreno has 3-5-2 mentality. Every time I see him play in a four-man defense, I always get the feeling that he feels out of position - I always get the feeling that he is looking for that extra support from the defence.
In all honesty, I could only see a future for Moreno if he was used further up the pitch because all I can see with Moreno is a winger-at-heart, who has, at some point in his career, been utilised as a defender. That all seems a bit Football Managery, but Moreno is a good player, he's fast, tennacous and is quite skillful - he can score and runs like a demon.
This is a pretty crude and far from fact association - but Gareth Bale - Gareth Bale played as a left-back for a long time and pretty much looked shit. It soon came to fruition that he isn't really a left-back, he was just a left-footed player who loved to run up and down. Not comparing the two players of course, but that switch of Bale from LB to LW showed actually how much of a not left-back he was/is.
In summary - whilst Moreno does not look comfortable at left-back, I can't help but feel that he doesn't need binning from the team, he just needs binning at left-back. Push him up the odd game and see if he comes into his own, because not only will teams exploit him, he might just be a great penertrative left-footed midfielder.
