[article=http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/victor-moses-tells-liverpools-brendan-2857602]Chelsea winger on loan at Anfield for the season has found himself on the subs' bench rather than in the team recently..
Victor Moses has told Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers he needs to start more often to realise his full potential.
Moses has been on the bench for the last three games after starting the first six following his season-long loan move from Chelsea.
The winger left Stamford Bridge because he felt he would he'd get more playing time with the Anfield giants and has now given his temporary manager a nudge.
“The main thing is to be on the pitch and enjoy my football,” he said. “That’s always been on my mind - to play games.
“There was only a little spell at Wigan, when I first signed there, when I wasn’t in the team every week.
“I’ve always gone to places for the football - places where I’m going to play. By playing, you learn.
“It may seem I’ve been around for a long time, but I’m still only 22. I think I can develop a lot more, but I realise to achieve that I’ve got to play as much as possible.”
Moses has been squeezed out because Rodgers has reshaped his midfield to accommodate the return from injury of playmaker Philippe Coutinho.
The former Wigan star - who has just been voted Nigeria's Footballer of the Year - refused to criticise Rodgers, and has no regrets about moving to Anfield.
“He’s a great manager to play under,” he said. “He’s very clear with the players. He knows what he wants us to do.
“There’s a winning mentality, but he also realises that if we are enjoying ourselves, we’re likely to do better.
“I’ve known him since I was 16 - when I was at Palace and he was at Chelsea.
"He really wanted me to go there. I said no a few times. I thought Palace was the best place for me at that time. But he never forgot about me.
"I was delighted when he came in for me again. There were a few clubs interesting in taking me, but when I heard about Liverpool, my decision was made straightaway.”
Moses, 22, is excited about Liverpool’s potential under Rodgers and feels they can challenge for the title.
“I wanted to be at a club that is fighting for trophies,” he said of the Reds, who are in second place after 12 matches. “There’s a lot of quality here and if we can keep the momentum going, I think we can challenge for the Premier League and, if not, finish in the top four.
“You have to believe you can be the best, otherwise there’s no point in trying.”[/article]
He will get game time for sure at the beginning of December when we seem to have 3 games in 7 days. Thing is he has been a bit disappointingly meh since his first game, hence why he is on the bench.
