Liverpool fans were left fairly disappointed with the performance of one of their players last night. Once again, Alberto Moreno failed to impress. Called in to give Andrew Robertson a rest in the League Cup, he had a torrid game.

Liverpool fans have simply had enough of the player and some are wondering if it is tie to drop him as the back-up left-back.

But who could step up?

Liverpool do have one youngster in their ranks they fought hard to sign who could be an option.

In January, the Reds spent £200,000 to bring in Tony Gallacher from Falkirk. The Scottish youngster was a wanted man, with the likes of Manchester United and Barcelona also linked with the talented full-back.

But instead, he headed to Liverpool and has been playing with the club’s under-23s this season.

Undoubtedly he is a talented player. Of course, experience is an issue, but Liverpool could certainly bring him into the first-team set-up for now and see if he sinks or swims.

They did so with Trent Alexander-Arnold on the other side and he has now forced former England international Nathaniel Clyne into a supporting role.

With Moreno a worry, Liverpool also have James Milner capable at left-back, so the pressure would not entirely lay on Gallacher should something happen to Robertson.

But perhaps it is time to rethink who the direct back-up is to the star Scotsman. His young compatriot might just deserve his chance.
