Alberto Moreno may be a lot of things, but he’s not boring.
The Liverpool left-back is not in Jamie Carragher’s good books, but his marvellous tattoo will mean we’re always going to be fans.
Moreno didn’t have the best of first halves in Liverpool’s Premier League opener against Arsenal, needlessly conceding a penalty (which Simon Mignolet excellently kept out) and losing Theo Walcott for the opening goal.
But that wasn’t the thing which brought the Spaniard the most criticism.
No, that honour instead went to Moreno’s attempt at a haircut.
An atrocious few minutes from Moreno. Not surprising considering he genuinely looks like a f*cking onion pic.twitter.com/aSlxSvc0ng

Incidentally, like a raw onion, Moreno’s haircut reduced people to tears when they looked directly at it.

Nobody thought to tell Moreno how ridiculous his hair looks?

Some were genuinely lost for words.
Moreno's haircut.

What is that on Alberto Moreno's head

Moreno’s ‘do’ was so striking that people didn’t even notice that Roberto Firmino had done the same thing. Either that or Firmino’s performances have earned him the benefit of the doubt, something which certainly can’t be said of the left-back.
Eventually people cottoned onto it, though.
Wtf are Moreno and Firmino doing with their hair

Are Moreno and firmino having a competition to see who looks more of a dick with the top not like

Firmino and Moreno better go and remove that thing, playing shit

It seems we’ve finally reached the stage where Aaron Ramsey’s bleached blonde look is considered fine and dandy compared to some of the other efforts on show.
It took us a while, but we made it. And remember, this is just week one – we can’t wait to see what other wonders the rest of the season throws up.
