Moreno the unlikely subject of Klopp's praise

Alberto Moreno's mentality was praised by Jurgen Klopp after Liverpool dismantled Hull City 5-1 on Saturday.

Jurgen Klopp hailed the mentality of out-of-favor left back Alberto Moreno after Liverpool thrashed 10-man Hull City at Anfield on Saturday to record its fourth straight win in all competitions.

Makeshift fullback James Milner, who has been keeping Moreno out of the team, scored two penalties — one after Ahmed Elmohamady was sent off for a handball — with Adam Lallana, Sadio Mane and Philippe Coutinho all on target in an emphatic victory.

But Klopp elected to single out Moreno for praise, despite the fact the Spaniard was an unused substitute for Liverpool yet again.
