Moreno baffles fans with superb performance against Bayern
Moreno has received plenty of criticism for his defensive displays since joining Liverpool from Sevilla in 2014.
He lost his place in the starting XI at the beginning of last season, with midfielder James Milner utilised on the left side of defence.
However, a good pre-season has persuaded Jurgen Klopp to give him another chance and he has started three of Liverpool’s first four games this season.
And McManaman says Klopp must tell Moreno to not attack as much as he does in order to get the best out of the Spaniard.

“You just feel he doesn’t need to power forward as much as he does and in certain games, like the away game (against Hoffenheim), he got caught out numerous times.
“Sometimes you need to be hit on the head a bit and told ‘just relax, go forward at the right times, don’t go forward every time’.
“I think once he gets that he offers Liverpool a lot.”
Liverpool's next game in the league is against Arsenal at Anfield this Sunday (4pm).
