Moses took it well and hit the ground running at his new surroundings; hitting a terrific solo goal in his first Premier League game for Liverpool against Swansea that had the Reds gaffer, Brendan Rodgers licking his lips in anticipation.
After his dream debut on Monday at the Liberty Stadium, the 22-year-old took the time to assess his earliest impressions of life as a Liverpool player.
Not many players have the privilege of scoring in their first game for Liverpool but it took Moses just 36 minutes to strike gold for the Anfield giants and he shared the special emotions from the heady moment with the club’s official website, liverpoolfc.com.
“It’s always great to get on the scoresheet. It was a great goal for me.
“They (Swansea’s Jonjo Shelvey) made a mistake in the middle of the park, I took the ball, cut in and watched the ‘keeper - I gave him the face and put the ball in the back of the net.
“It was great to put on the red shirt, get back on the pitch again and enjoy my football. That was the most important thing. It was a great game for us today and we’re delighted with the result.
The game eventually ended in a 2-2 draw; a result that saw Liverpool return to the top of the Premier League table and Moses had no complaints about the eventual outcome.
“I think (was) a fair result. We could have taken all three points but it wasn’t an easy game for us. Coming (to the Liberty Stadium), we knew that it was going to be a difficult game. A point was a fair result for us so we’re delighted with it,” he said.
Moses has joined a Liverpool squad stocked to near capacity with attacking options and watched from close quarters as Daniel Sturridge scored in a fourth consecutive Premier League match.
The No.12 was positioned on the left hand side against Swansea and explained why he would be happy to play any role in an attempt to extend the Reds’ unbeaten record.
“I’ve always played on the left hand side but then again, I’ll play wherever the manager wants to play me. I’m comfortable playing anywhere up front,” he said.
“We all know Daniel is a great player and a goal scorer as well. He’s in great form at the moment, scoring goals. And not just Daniel, Coutinho as well - he’s a great player.
“Everyone up front is doing pretty well at the moment. We’re still unbeaten, so we just want to keep the momentum going and try to keep winning games,” he added.
