Alexis Mac Allister | Liverpool watch

Really think we have three midfielders in the process of building themselves into world class players (Mac Allister already is).

Someone complained a while back that this team shouldn't be as good as it is. I think in a few years, when they have a more established body of work, it'll look a lot less strange in hindsight how slot was able to cruise to a title in his first season.

We got the midfield recruitment really really right that summer. Even if Gravenberch looked like a busted flush in his first season and szoboszlai has taken a strange path of progression into a complete midfielder.

Gravenberch's transformation this year is great. Ajax banter aside I was sure he was the new Rijkaard when he broke through, but after leaving Ajax too quickly and doing nothing at Bayern I gave up on him after choosing another club that I thought was still out of his league. Especially after his very meh first season at Pool.

Funnily, Rafael van der Vaart said he's better than Bellingham 2 years ago while he was sat on the bench at Bayern. And while I'm still obviously not saying it's true, it's not nearly as ludicrous a statement now.

Even if they're very incomparable players.

Nah.

He's had a very prolonged dip of confidence in his technical ability for over a year but the player that arrived had a better shot and was a better passer. Gravenberch touch is immaculate so that part I'll give to him.

No problem saying that he's not shown more technical ability than either for the majority of their Liverpool career.

It's honestly been a bit weird. He arrived as a 10, dead ball specialist and creator and then morphed into a water carrier whose main assets were his off the ball work who was really timid and ponderous in the final third. Lately he's begun tying it all together into a really complete player.

Fair summary.

He's putting it all together lately. Now he has to prove he can do it consistently.

Needs a rest though surely, even with his engine.

He's an argie and they just went Copa-WC-Copa with MacAllister being one of their best players

If england won the Euros you'd have showed up at the bernabeu offering Jude free bjs for life let's be honest here ;)

:lol:

don't forget his Boca past...yet, it's not just that for christ sake, I've always find that in many ocasions players of the profile of Mac allister tend to fly more under the radar than other players that are more dinamic, powerful and have a bigger size. I just love clever, crafty players with an edge and he belongs to that type.
This very thread has many examples of it since the start of it, plain contradictions in the very same posts and some get annoyed.

I'm in the line for Modric. Have to give him a proper send off!

well I just can wish the Ginger ends with a carreer like him given the Croat it's pretty much one of the best examples of the sort of player I dig a lot
