Welcome to Liverpool, Alexis Mac Allister

[Paulie Dangerously]

Played alright in spells, but a couple of times he looked every inch of his 5ft1 frame being dispossessed.  If he could get his shooting boots on that would be helpful as well. 

 

I've not been overly convinced by him, he's got flashes of class about him but don't know if he's a bit of a "no position" player.  Like Lallana but gets subburnt more easily. 

[Mathewbet1]

Our best player by miles today, the only one in it

[johnsusername]

Quite handy that they can put him in a child's size kit. 

[Joey8FrogsLegs]

After a poor start he played pretty well today. 
 

Pretty sure the stats will show that he won more than his fair share of duels as well. Funny how some people seem to be more worried about the height or size of a player, rather than how many duels they actually win. He’s brilliant in the 50/50s, an expert at muscling the ball of the opponent. Just like Bernardo Silva did a couple of times against Richarlison recently.

I thought Jones was our best midfielder today, but none of them played well.  MacAllister had a truly awful start to the game, improved in the second half but was still shrugged off the ball easily up the pitch  leading to them missing an easy chance right in front of goal.  On an afternoon where none of our players did themselves justice, he didn’t stand out.  Gomez was probably our best player today, simply by dint of making fewer errors than the rest

[Redder Lurtz]

State of some of these performances. I agree Mac was the best of a bad bunch though. 

[Strontium]

He's not a lone holding midfielder, and we looked considerably better in the second half when Jones went into the double pivot, until the subs fucked everything up again. Definitely not laying any of the blame for today on him.

I actually thought he was our best player today, and by a country mile. Lucho gave a third account of himself. The rest where muck. 

 

But I'm quite happy with macallisters form the past few weeks, he's definitely easing into the job a bit more than the earlier in the season

Yeah..that was a tough midfield to play in today. In fact it wasn't just about the midfield. The forwards too as nothing stuck to them and there was no ball in behind to stretch the play.

Some of those 6.5’s are very generous. 

[3 Stacks]

Stringy will be absolutely fuming seeing those ratings. 

[Carra_is_legend]

He is going to be a monster of a player.

[Freddo]

This lads got it all. He reads the game so well, sees a pass. Great delivery. Not afraid of getting a tackle in. He’s the 100 million pound midfielder. World class in the making. 

[ZonkoVille77]

MOTM for me tonight. It was tough going for him in there and he was superb. 

[Joey8FrogsLegs]

He is a very intelligent footballer. Great positioning, excellent overview and great passing through the lines. Also very competitive in the challenges, which I love.

 

Main weakness is pace and mobility, which means he’ll never be perfect for the 8 position in a Klopp team. Endo’s got the same weaknesses, and I reckon playing them together will never be ideal. To me they’re two good DMs, and one of them can also play as an 8.

[stringvest]

he put one of his best performance for us in the second half tonight.  Improving.

[Planet Origi]

Was quality tonight 

[Barrington Womble]

I think he's been pretty good since he came back from injury..he'd been excellent in the 6 position when endo was at the Asia cup and now he's moved forward, he's improved by the game. 

[Vincent Vega]

I thought he had an excellent game yesterday until he tired towards the end. 
 

A mate of mine told me something the other day that blew my mind, Macca is younger than Trent. How the fuck can that be right? But it absolutely is. 

[Elite]

He's a very good player. Really suits us.

Endo is the only guy we have bought in the last few years who is older that Trent.

Paper round in the Patagonian Desert. 

[Kevin D]

Much prefer him outside the DM role.

 

Smart, sharp, energetic midfielder who is the natural evolution from what Gigi gave us. 
 

Can really run a football match when in the two other midfield roles.

[Kevin D]

*Obviously meant to say Gini, not Gigi.

 

His perfect face and smile have been known to leave me a bit flustered.

[Wezza]

Becoming a key player for us 

[Joey8FrogsLegs]

World class perfomance today, and vital to the win.
