Klopp to stick with Moreno as Liverpool left-back

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp is not planning to buy a new left-back to replace the erratic Alberto Moreno, according to the Daily Express.

The Spanish defender, who is the only recognised left-back at the Merseyside club, attracted severe criticism for his performance in the 4-3 win over Arsenal on Sunday.

The 24-year-old conceded a first-half penalty, which was saved by Simon Mignolet, before getting caught out of position for the Gunners' opening goal in the game which was scored by Theo Walcott.

The report claims that Klopp is confident that right-back Nathaniel Clyne, centre-half Ragnar Klavan and even veteran midfielder James Milner are more than capable of playing in the left-back position in case of emergencies.
