6065_Villa Posted April 18, 2023 Share Posted April 18, 2023 This guy is a one man attacking machine, he never stops. He made trippier who's having a great season look average. Not only that but his decision making when he gets in and around the box is superb. Would love Unai to get a similar player for the right side next season with Ash as back up for another year. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A fullback who's fully comfortable on the ball and who can dribble. However I had no idea how good his decision making would be. His cutback success rate must be right up there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigel Posted April 18, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted April 18, 2023 I'm quite glad he is a bit older, there would be a very real chance he would be looked at by some very big teams if he were younger. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Him motoring onto the rebound from the Watkins shot, winning it, under control straight away, beating a man and also teeing up Ramsey. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMelvillan Posted April 18, 2023 Share Posted April 18, 2023 Garth Crooks's (I know , I know) team of the week was posted on twitter the other days and there was a huge amount of outrage that he didn't include Moreno. The mad thing was that the majority of those complaining were Newcastle fans who couldn't praise him enough On balance he also included David deGea as his goalkeeper who made zero saves in their match against bottom of the table forest 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the reasons I'm happy we finally performed when everyone was watching us. We usually bottle it when we are a" featured " game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's actually sort of admirable he's made it for decades at a job where the one requirement is to watch the games. Presumably on extortionate BBC wages. I respect it. I am jealous. I want that job. You go, Garth. Pivoting pretty harshly back on topic, Moreno is still really good. If these are the sort of signings we're going to make under Emery, then.. wow.

Unless he scores against a scum 6 team, I dont even think Crooks knows who Moreno is If he does get into his team of the week the review will be about how he has improved from his Liverpool days 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest av1 Posted April 18, 2023 Share Posted April 18, 2023 Without turning this into a Moreno/Digne debate because Moreno is clearly the better player, his form may mean Digne looking elsewhere. When Moreno first came in and was finding his feet there seemed to be regular rotation between the two, which was probably enough to keep Digne happy. After bedding into the team now Moreno is simply unmovable, if fit he will play because the drop off is huge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuwabatake Sanjuro Posted April 18, 2023 Share Posted April 18, 2023 Yeah a priority for the Summer is finding a Moreno clone as he has become so key to the way we play, Digne doesn't have the tools required. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think an attacking full back on one side and a defensive one on the other is pretty much Emery's hallmark at this stage. I think the big signing this summer will be a right winger. Whoever plays at right back will be defensive minded as opposed to a right sided version of Moreno. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
