I suspect Hendo's still not 100%. Grujic is still raw, maybe Klopp will play him against lesser teams/Cup games with other fringe players like Markovic.
Moreno's mistake will now be magnified, more so if it resulted in a goal. His tackles are rash but if (big IF) he timed it properly, this boy can really make a tackle. Sterling can vouch for that. He has pace but needs more awareness and footballing brain.
Hendo has had a roller coaster ride since signing for us. He was almost sold to Fulham for Dempsey and a bag of peanuts, but bounced back in the season we finished 2nd where he was deemed undroppable. I can't see him playing in an advanced role as he did for Rodgers though, with the attacking talents we have at our disposal. If anything I reckon he'll play deep now that Allen has left and Lucas is on the verge of leaving as he wants first team football. Will likely share playing time with Can.
Moreno needs a radar implanted into his nut. He's so intent on going forward, he has no idea what's happening behind him. I reckon he impressed most when we played 5 at the back with him in the wingback position, reducing our dependency on him to defend because he is good when he's going forward and he has a sweet left foot. I like that he is a tenacious tackler (when he's actually bothered to do a bit of defending) but this also means that he can be a little reckless. How many penalties has he given away ? 2? 3? The fact that Milner is actually being considered for the job is testament to how bad his defending is. I mean they may as well have given his jersey to the tea lady, with all due respect to Millie.

Fernando Torres Hits Out at 'Same Old' Liverpool as He Sets Record Straight Over Anfield Departure
http://www.90min.com/posts/3629878-fernand...field-departure“They wanted to bring in young players, to build something new. I was thinking to myself, this takes time to work. It takes two, three, four, maybe even 10 years. I didn’t have that time. I was 27 years old. I did not have time to wait. I wanted to win. Here we are five years later and they are still trying to build – around the same position in the league as when I left.”You know what? I'm finally over Torres leaving and reading this piece has got me to empathise with his predicament. Let's face it, Liverpool fans are a sentimental lot and we expect every player that signs to love the club and be loyal. However most of these foreign lads have boyhood clubs that they left reluctantly in pursuit of greatness. Moreno left the pitch in tears as he played his last game for Sevilla. Daniel Agger chose to return to Brondy, incurring a substantial pay cut instead of joining pursuing clubs like Barcelona amongst others. In regards to Torres, he pledged to his fans that he would return one day to Atletico after he had achieved success. Little did he know what a force they would turn out to be

However my point is that Torres tore himself away from the club he loved for silverware and he had no time to wait for us to rebuild. The same can be said of any player from abroad.
