Jurgen Klopp plays down Alberto Moreno criticism

Klopp plays down Moreno criticism

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has attempted to move on from the criticism aimed at Alberto Moreno after his performance against Arsenal last week.

During the first half at the Emirates Stadium, Moreno conceded a penalty - which was saved - before being at fault for Arsenal's opening goal, and he was heavily criticised by the club's supporters on social media.

However, after Liverpool returned to Merseyside with a 4-3 victory, Klopp is keen to move on and focus on this weekend's game with Burnley.

The 49-year-old told reporters: "That is something we have all talked about, how can we defend differently.

"The situation was cleared twice before the penalty, and in my opinion we could have avoided it five or six times before. It came to a situation where Alberto could have done better, but that's all."

Moreno has made 92 appearances for Liverpool since signing from Sevilla in 2014.
