Lallana has been the one other than Coutinho who has been regularly creating chances for our strikers similar to the one he put on a plate for sterling (who fluffed) against city and for balotell. 5 goals and 3 assists so far is not too bad for a player who's missed the first half of the season through injury. As for moreno, I haven't seen a left back who is so versatile, effective in attack as well as defence. Lallana and moreno have been very good acquisitions IMHO.
Where have I said that Lallana and Moreno have been poor?
I said the jury was still out on them.
Lallana is a good player but I feel will never be a great player or one that will command a place in our starting XI.
Moreno effective in defending OK then. If you haven't seen "another left back" be so versatile, I suggest you watch football from the rest of Europe. Players like Lahm, Jordi Alba, Fabio Coentrao, etc put Moreno in the shade. Moreno has a long way to go before he is considered universally effective in both attack and defense. A few cameos running up our flanks doesnt equate to him being "effective"........
Coentrao has played 7 games in the league for Real this year
Lahm is used as a dm mostly nowadays
