We'll be fine. Moreno is class.

Like Ramsey, he hasn't looked very good since returning. We'll need him to be back to it tomorrow.

Hasn't he played about four whole games, got the winner to send us through in Europe and scored the goal that turned a defeat into the platform for a win against Brentford?

I mean, I'm not nominating him for player of the season on the strength of it, but that's par in terms of what he's giving at the very least, surely?

Well, I watched Moreno against Legia Warsaw when we won 2-1 and he played 80 minutes and was man of the match. He scored a superb winner. I guess the inconsistency stems from no pre-season likewise with Ramsey.

Moreno won't have played with Torres, Carlos or Lenglet before either, so it's not just that he's missed a lot of time. He's adapting to new things too. I'm not worried about him at all.

Garnacho roasted Moreno when he came on. I was calling for him to start beforehand! Try him again v Burnley.

Should be starting. Having a fabulous season for us.  Very much under the radar really.

I said before the game he should be starting.  Been treated harshly since the injury.

Why has he been treated harshly?

He hasn't, he was injured and guy who came in for him has played well in the main, so hasn't deserved to lose the shirt.

I'd start him, at least at Ajax and possibly against Spurs, too.

As would I.

I really like Moreno, too, he is incredibly attack minded, scores goals (obv, so has Digne, this evening), too, but when we see teams start to get themselves together and put us under pressure, I feel we're more solid looking with Digne there.

Don't get me wrong, Digne is an attack-minded full back. But Moreno is insanely attack focused.

Yeah, I don't think Moreno has done enough to mean Digne has to win his place back. If he's fit enough to start, he should be starting.

Because he's been on the bench.  He was contender for player of the season before he got injured.  Moreno has been average at best.

I really like Moreno but I’d go with Digne for these games.
