Former Liverpool striker, Robbie Fowler, has applauded the contributions of Nigerian midfielder, Victor Moses, to the club’s second place finish in the just-concluded English
Premier League season despite the player failing to tie down a regular place in the starting line-up.
“I saw Moses close-up at our training sessions and I was always amazed at his high level of skills,” began Fowler when asked whether he was disappointed by the player’s
limited contributions to the title e challenge. “I’m sure he left Chelsea on loan to Liverpool with an intention to play a big part in our club but, obviously, he didn’t get much playing time this season.
“I will put that down to the great partnership that the other strikers Luis Suarez, Daniel Sturigge and Raheem Sterling were able to establish as the season developed. Those three struck a great understanding and scored lots of goals amongst themselves, so it was difficult for Moses or anyone else to separate them. That doesn’t make Moses a bad player, in my opinion.”
Fowler will however not be drawn into whether Liverpool should keep Moses for next season when the club will return to European Champions League action.
He said: “We definitely need to strengthen the team to mount another challenge both for the Premier League and the Champions League. But who we bring in or who goes or stays are decisions for the manager Brendan Rogers to make.”
