Liverpool legend wants Moses out

Former Liverpool striker John Aldridge feels Nigeria
international Victor Moses has failed to live up to
expectations since joining Liverpool on loan from
Chelsea last year, according to Football411.
Aldridge has even suggested that it would actually
be in everybody’s best interests if the loan
agreement between the Merseyside

club and
Chelsea was cancelled.
“I don’t know whether Chelsea would agree to take
him back as they’ve got a big squad but it might be
in everyone’s best interests if the loan is
cancelled,” Aldridge wrote in his column this week.
“If Moses wants to stay at Liverpool until the end of
the season then he needs to buck his ideas up. He’s
in a precarious position. He needs to realise that
and start fighting for a shirt,” added Aldridge.
Moses has breached the opposition defence just
once since he joined Liverpool last September and
that goal was scored in his debut fixture against
Swansea at the Liberty Stadium.
Aldridge feels that Moses is squandering a glorious
opportunity and he can’t quite put his finger on why
the Nigerian has not thrived at Anfield.
“Victor Moses was handed a big opportunity when
Brendan Rodgers brought him to Liverpool FC from
Chelsea last summer,” Aldridge told the Liverpool
Echo.
“Not many players get the chance to go out on loan
to a bigger club but I don’t think he realises how
lucky he is. When Moses arrived I thought he would
be a decent acquisition. He did very well for Wigan
and did okay during his first year at Chelsea.
“He talked about wanting to nail down a place at
Anfield but to achieve that you need to deliver on the
pitch and he hasn’t done that. He has let himself
down,” added the former Liverpool striker.
Moroccan midfielder Oussama Assaidi was loaned
to Stoke City when Moses was signed for Liverpool.
During his brief spell at Stoke Assaidi has scored
four goals in 16 appearances for the club.
He has also contributed to the team effort with two
valuable assists in cup competitions. Aldridge
thinks letting him go might have been somewhat
misguided.
