This is not the best of time for Nigeria international,Victor Moses as Liverpool legend, John Aldridge feels the AFCON star is operating on a borrowed time, with no desire and spirit to play for the club.
The Red former striker said, "
"Victor was handed a big opportunity
when Brendan Rodgers brought him to Liverpool from Chelsea last summer,"
Aldridge wrote in his Liverpool Echo column.
"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.
"The Nigeria international could have no complaints about being hauled off at half-time of Sunday's 2-0 win over Oldham.
"He looked completely disinterested in that opening 45 minutes and gave the manager little option.
"There
was no desire, no spirit. Maybe he's lacking a bit of confidence or
maybe he's just unhappy because he's played so little recently. He has
let himself [down] at Liverpool."
Aldridge thinks Liverpool would have been better served keeping
winger Oussama Assaidi - who they loaned out to Stoke City - instead of
signing Moses.
And he also believes that Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers should investigate the possibility of trying to cancel Moses' loan.
"Hindsight is a great thing but we would have been better off
keeping Oussama Assaidi and not signing Moses," he added. "Assaidi has
contributed a lot more for Stoke during his loan spell than Moses has
for us.
"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.
"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."
