Liverpool defender Alberto Moreno has dismissed recent criticism of him - saying he is ‘happy with his form’ and that the ‘fans are happy too’.

The Spanish left-back has come in for a lot of criticism from the fans and media after his performance in the 4-3 victory at Arsenal. Moreno gave away a penalty before being caught out of position for Theo Walcott’s opener.

The 24-year-old also struggled in the Europa League final, with many fans pointing the finger at him for an awful performance in the second half in which Liverpool conceded three goals, but he says he won’t let the words of ‘three or four individuals’ affect him.

Speaking to Australian website The World Game, Moreno said: “I’ve got a lot of belief in myself and a lot of self-confidence. Football is all about opinion, not everyone watching a game can have the same opinion.

“I realize you can get criticism positive and negative, there are thousands of fans and everyone likes to have their opinion. But it’s not about taking notice whether three or four people criticize a performance, whether it’s me or any of the players.

“It’s better not to read the press, whether it’s negative criticism or positive, it’s sometimes best just to keep an open mind and avoid reading too much into what is written. I believe, as a footballer it’s all about living day to day and letting your achievements do the talking."

Moreno, who was offered the backing of boss Jurgen Klopp this week, says any player is capable of making mistakes - and he believes the majority of fans are right behind him.

He added: “The confidence that I have is having played 90 games in two seasons for a team like Liverpool, if three or four individuals want to carry on, then let them, it doesn’t bother me.

“I’m a very self-confident kind of guy, I get on with doing my best and what I can to help the team.

“In football everyone can make mistakes, even Lionel Messi can make mistakes, we’re all human

“It’s about keeping going and keeping positive. I am very happy here, I love Liverpool Football Club, I love playing here, I’m happy with my form and how I’ve played, overall the fans are happy with me as well.

“To let three or four comments get you down is not the right thing to do.

“I just want to keep my head down and work hard.”
