Was saying last season how exceptional he was and that remains the same. Bought on the cheap as well.
Alexis Mac Allister | Liverpool watch
- Thread starter Dans
- Start date
Outstanding player. Him and Gravenberch are the best midfield partnership in the world at the moment.
I think the new style of play suits them, more possession football brings out their best.
A class player with exceptional commitment to both attacking and defensive phases of the game. While his passing may occasionally falter(sometimes),he makes being on the ball appear utterly effortless.
I still think he needs mates that release the ball faster (Virgil it's the one that gets him more and the one that also usually demands from him to participate when he doesn't touch the ball, understandeable given how clever the Dutch is).
He is extremely intelligent in securing the play and instantly finding a pocket of space, but his mates too many times does not return the ball quickly to him. I like that at least lately he is opening his arms asking for the ball in such situations, it happens too many times for my taste in the first half.
If some day Liverpool trully gets this, he'll be even better.
Also I know that he is mostly in command to get the ball from the back (and he is demanded to pressure and steal the ball), but he needs to attack more, he has an excellent strike on him.
PD: BTW I don't get why he doesn't shoot every penalty.

We should have got him from Brighton.
He rejected United. Real Madrid are now interested in signing him but he says he's happy at LIverpool. He's a true scouser.
United weren’t in for him. The only rejections came from Zubamendi to Liverpool.
What
Oh boy
Kind of begs the question ‘why?’ Instead they went for Mount.
A microcosm of the bad recruitment that sees United with a squad that makes little sense.
A player that you were also heavily linked to before signing Mac Allister.
Tell me something we don’t know? That’s why recruiting and structure has been overhauled.
But oddly kept the manager that was at the forefront of recent transfer nonsense only to then sack him after he’d killed the season. It’s a C- so far for this overhauled structure.
One ended up at United and the other at Liverpool. That’s the key point, surely.
For a very skill fella his generosity it's fecking great, he annoyed the hell of Foden and Bernardo the whole match.
His reading it's superb, he always finds the spot he has to be to offer himself as an option of pass, mark someone himself or helping to double mark someone.
I still preffer him in a more offensive role and position, mostly because he lacks pace so ends being too far from the rival's net even if it's him the one stealing the ball, yet I understand why Slot wants him close to his own area.

I think we were looking at Mount for the role we eventually bought Szoboslai for.
I got this one wrong. He is great and has really grown into his role and importance to the team. A bit annoyed they got him so cheap now.
Real Madrid please take him away from Liverpool. Also take Enzo away from Chelsea as well.
BTW, I think he should take the penalties, take care the majority of dead balls (from corners, to most free kicks) and take a couple of Trent's free kicks with a more clear chance to score.
