Moses Listed In Liverpool’s Worst Signings
Former Nigerian International football player and Inter Milan right-back, Victor Moses, has been listed among the worst signings the former Liverpool manager, Brendan Rodgers, made during his stay at the Anfield.
Recall that Liverpool signed Moses, 29, from rivals Chelsea on one season loan contract, ahead of the 2013/14 Premier League season.
Moses, who played in the left midfield, scored only one goal in nineteen (19) appearances.
According to a list compiled by talkSPORT, the player was listed alongside other football players who did not live up to expectations under the current Leicester City manager.
Moses did not perform convincing well enough to earn him a permanent jersey with Liverpool and that prompted him to return to Chelsea.
Commenting on Moses’ time at Anfield, talkSPORT.com wrote,
It seemed unthinkable for Chelsea to let a decent player in Moses play for rivals Liverpool on loan in the 2013/14 season. However, any concerned Chelsea fan needn’t have worried as Moses really struggled to make an impact in a season on Merseyside.
Moses scored on his Reds debut, a well-placed finish at Swansea, but that was his only goal for Liverpool.
Those slightly more obsessive Kopites will remember Moses essentially missing an open goal with a fresh air shot on that infamous ‘Crystanbul’ night where Liverpool blew a 3-0 lead to draw at Crystal Palace.
It was 3-3 when Moses missed but if that went in they would have won the match and maybe, just maybe, Liverpool could have lifted the title that season…
Other soccer players whose names were on the list are Nuri Sahin, Luis Alberto, Alberto Moreno, Mario Balotelli, Christian Benteke, Adam Bogdan, Lazar Markovic, Dejan Lovren, Tiago Ilori, Alberto Moreno and Javier Manquillo.
