Alberto Moreno: 'My critics should shut their mouths now'

Alberto Moreno feels that his critics should "shut their mouths" following the Spaniard's return to form for Liverpool this season.

Alberto Moreno has invited his critics to "shut their mouths" following his return to form for Liverpool this season.

The 25-year-old spent most of the 2016-17 campaign on the Reds' bench and made just two Premier League starts after losing his position at left-back to James Milner.

Moreno looked set to depart Anfield in the summer and was the subject of a £11m bid from Napoli, but Liverpool were reportedly only willing to let him leave for £15m.

The Spaniard has now reclaimed his place in Jurgen Klopp's starting XI, completing the full 90 minutes in four league appearances so far and also playing in the Champions League.

"I am very, very happy, personally, with the way things are going," Moreno told Sky Sports News. "Things were bad over the summer - the word was that I would be leaving.

"However, at no point did I agree with those claims. I wanted to stay and fight for my place and that is the mindset I had when I came back for pre-season. It is a club I love.

"So I think people who were saying I should leave should their shut their mouths now."

Moreno has made 117 appearances for Liverpool since his 2014 move from Sevilla.
