| Alberto Moreno has praised Christian Benteke and Roberto Firmino |
ALBERTO MORENO has hailed Brendan Rodgers' summer signings Christian Benteke and Roberto Firmino.
The left-back endured a tough first season with the Reds, facing some harsh criticism from club legend Mark Lawrenson who labelled him a 'little boy'.
However, Moreno doesn't foresee any such difficulties for Benteke and Firmino and predicts they will win over the Anfield crowd in no time.
The attacking duo were brought in to solve the Reds lack of fire-power up top, with Mario Balotelli and Ricky Lambert struggling for goals last season.
He told Spanish newspaper Marca: "Benteke is a top player. He's unplayable in the air and despite his size he's really good with his feet. He could score a hatful of goals."
And the former Sevilla man was similarly pleased with the arrival of Brazil international Firmino, who he says is a great goal-scorer.
He added: "Supporters will get to know him quickly. Every ball he hits, with either foot, finds the back of the net."
