Alberto Moreno

[dockers_strike]

He's a good lad, is Alberto. I'll be cheering him on in that Europa League Final. I see the gimp is calling on the ghosts of Busby and actually taken Ferguson to the final to 'remind' the players who they are.

 

Seriously? You're in a final and you have to resort to this stuff to get your boys over the line? Would have thought he'd have spend more time reminding the officials and VAR they 'are' manchester united, PL refs give them penalties all the time and he expects them to do the same.

'“To this day I don’t understand why I got so, so much criticism, when the whole team didn’t play well. The finger was pointed at one player and …” Moreno shrugs. “I don’t think that’s OK. People blame you. Only you. It was like I lost the final. It’s hard. You can’t get it out of your head. You look at the paper, at social media – I don’t usually pay much attention to social media because it’s all so false – and read things. ‘Alberto, Alberto, Alberto, Alberto.’ I’ll go to my grave not understanding why I got all the blame.'

 

That's mostly the translators work. What he actually said is "me Alberto, Alberto not know why fans not like, Alberto kick ball, Alberto mammy say I am special". Then he went back to eating his crayons.

Was never convinced he was a defender - he was far better going forward. But, he was never better than actual wide midfielders/wingers......

Do Villareal have any chance of winning tonight? 

[Manny]

I'm in a massive minority here but I don't dislike him. Not good enough and I'm glad he's someone else's problem now, but in fairness to him (from memory) he always put a shift in. He was just completely and utterly braindead. He was like sticking a dog at left back: he'll get up and down but he'll always be in the wrong place unless dumb luck intervenes.

They're huge value at 7/2.

No Maguire - I think Villareal have a great chance. Utd were like keystone cops defending against us. 

Since Liverpool beat Alaves in 2001, 13 Spanish teams have been in the UEFA/Europa final. Only 2 have lost, both to another Spanish side. Some record. 
Emery has managed in the final 4 times, losing with Arsenal a couple of years ago.

7/2 - why not? 

[Scott_M]

It’ll certainly be a good ebening if Villarreal win.

[VladimirIlyich]

I think Emery is Villareal's real hope of winning the game.

Played really well when he came on.

[Bjornebye]

Get in you little bastard 

[AngryOfTuebrook]

Obviously I would have preferred him to win it in 2016, but better late than never. 

[3 Stacks]

Serial winner in Europe.

[aws]

Never doubted him. 

[Leyton388]

After tonight all is forgiven for the 2016 final. Bloody wonderful to see him slot his pen and help beat the manc filth.

Mos def. Totally unsuited in a back 4, more of a fit in a system with wing-backs. If I recall correctly he came on as a sub on several occasions, slotted in on the left of the midfield and played well every time.

 

Maybe his goal against Spurs clouded my judgement, but I always have a soft spot for him. Enjoy the win Albert.

Is this supposed to make me like him a little more? 

 

Well... it does. 

[VladimirIlyich]

He'll be Danzig in the streets. Unai Emery is the king of the Europa League.

[sir roger]

I read he had a bad injury last autumn which is why he hasn't been playing until recently.

[Saintslfc13]

Say what you will about his time here which was unfortunately average at best and catastrophic at worst but he clearly loves to have been apart of Liverpool. I never hated him but I never thought he was the answer either. Played well yesterday and had a great pen, not much more you can ask from a substitute in the biggest win in his current clubs history. I think he's found he's level and I'm happy for him.

[manwiththestick]

I love how he says gerrout!

 

He probably picked that up from many shouts of "gerrout of our club"
