Alexis Mac Allister

Problem with our process is that we tend to fuck with a brother's style and position. We'll buy people and sometimes we make them better, and other times we make them shitter.

When your transfer budget is well short of your rivals there tends to be a lot of cut and paste to your buys.

There are times when Mac Allister looks world class, but there are times where he also looks brain dead and tonight his control and general play fell into the latter too often.

The mis-control for their second goal was amateur level, even though you might question our policy of playing the ball into players who are pretty much marked up.

One of the problems is we always fuck with players. Sometimes it works (Fabinho) sometimes it doesn't.

I agree he shouldn’t be used as a defensive midfielder when his strengths are further forward, however, he lost the ball about three times in a couple of minutes when he just didn’t control it properly, and no matter where you are on the pitch, that’s just poor play.

He’s not the worst player, far from it, but he’s equally far from being the world class player some on here think he is.  When on form, he’s a good tidy player with a spark of creativity and good technique. He’ll have the odd blinding game, but there’s little evidence he can do it consistently. Let’s hope next year he can bring some of that.

Not a good game tonight, but an absolutely top quality footballer. World class. 


I don’t agree.

 

He is slow, weak, has poor positional sense, has very little goal threat and can’t track midfield runners. 
 

Those are not attributes of a world class player.

Well, agree to disagree.

 

He’s great in the pressing, good control in tight spaces, extremely difficult to knock off the ball, is an excellent tackler, makes a lot of interceptions and blocks, has good vision, can play the long pass as well as the short one, very good at threading it through the lines of the oppositins and has a good shot.


Weaknesses is pace, which means he’ll struggle whem the team looses shape and are too open. Also he’s made a bit too many mistakes on the ball for it to be an excellent season, I’ll say it’s been a very good one.

He’s not world class, he’s premiership class, like most of the team.  World class players play really well consistently.  They dominate (or at least make a significant mark on) games, from wherever they play on the pitch.  MacAllister has rarely done that this season.  We’ll be calling Elliot world class next because he played a blinder last week.

That was the thing.  I am not sure why Endo was pulled when he was playing well.  Just leave him on.

While I’m unsure how you’ve concluded that he is “an excellent tackler”, I agree with the rest of your praise. 
 

We saw him excel between December and March doing most of that.
 

The problem is either side of that where his physical limitations and lack of DM nous has seen him be at the centre of the ridiculous number of chances we concede.

He was shocking last night, worst than Wolves away when he looked lifeless. At fault or at least partly at fault for all 3 goals, but it's not all on him.

 

Klopp not learning his lesson in taking off Endo every chance he gets no matter how he plays. It was obvious what changes needed to be made.

 

& what was the point leaving Salah on at 3-1 when he'd done fuck all the previous 75mins?

Endo is an average journeyman. Of course he doesn't play 90 minutes every game. If you want to play that kind of player every minute of every game, you want to finish 6th.
