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.
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.
