Well he's done nothing of note yet IMO.

He's also got about 5 games worth under his belt, and either looked promising or lost.
well obviously
Let's consider this sensibly.
Tough game last Sunday
12.30 away kickoff Saturday
Big game v Napoli on Tuesday
No. It's still a shite selection.

To be fair, if we are going with a diamond midfield, the team isn't as unbalanced as it looks and it's not such a shite selection.
But Burnley actually are a notoriously tough team, who work their bollocks off.
I don't see the same focus and workrate in Moreno, Shaq, Origi or Studge.
If we had Salah instead of Sturridge (and perhaps Fabinho for Hendo), I would actually like this selection very much. No problem with Origi on the left and glad Shaqiri is starting – his floated diagonal chips into Origi's runs from the left could be dangerous. The problem with Studge for Salah is that our balance shifts to 3 playmakers (Shaqiri, Sturridge, Keita) and one forward (Origi), I expect to see too much passing in front of the defense and not enough penetration – unless Shaqiri starts making those runs.
A bit excited about Camacho on the bench; he looked great with Sturridge and Ojo in pre-season.

I can bet you anything that Milner will play on the left side of the midfield as an auxiliary left-back because Moreno is playing.
I was thinking that his supercrosses might be useful
Its certainly not the lineup any of us would pick with all things being equal. But this is theoreticaly the easiest game a in a tough run of fixtures. We have Robbo and Mane unavailable, Firmino looking shite all season and no consensus on what our best midfield line up is. Its a gamble but look at that Burnley team, I wouldnt take any of their players over ours, we should have plenty of quality to win this.
2 - 0 Keita and Sturridge

An engaging challenge, is the new good old-fashioned... A foul
Moreno runs backward really fast.
