After playing 56 games last season, Liverpool FC basically said to hell with it and just kept playing. The Reds began their 2018-19 fixture list back on July 7 as part of a nine-game preseason tour that includes a trip to Ireland and the United States. This is how Jurgen Klopp ensures that the gegenpressing is still pressing come the 90th minute of matches in May.
While the likes of Dejan Lovren, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Jordan Henderson, Roberto Firmino and Mohamed Salah were off doing their thing in Russia, it was up to left back Alberto Moreno to secure the bag against Chester FC, Tranmere Rovers and Bury FC. Or should we say Skipper Moreno.

The former Sevilla left back’s inability to defend in matches against Sevilla saw him slip beneath James Milner and now Andrew Robertson on the depth chart, but he’s obviously still living his best life.
