Phenomenal, again.

Think the pairing of him and Endo is working really, really well.

He’s so good on the ball in tight spaces.

And he’s a brilliant penalty taker.

TepidT2O · « **Reply #2282 on:** March 10, 2024, 09:29:03 pm »

He’s great

Because he’s the unknown bag man
That made Caicedo such a star.

Unreal player. Quality, graft, intelligence, the perfect midfielder. He also had won the game winning (perhaps league winning) pen in the last minute.

Bread · « **Reply #2284 on:** March 10, 2024, 09:45:21 pm »

He's the signing of the season. You can stick your Rice's, Vicario's, Maddison's, Doku's, Barkley's, Palmer's and god knows who else up your arse. The lad is genuinely elite, and has been running the midfield every game for about 3 months straight now.

JRed · « **Reply #2285 on:** March 10, 2024, 09:47:30 pm »

Far and away the PL signing of the season. I reckon he should be in the running for player of the season. Simply outstanding, and £35M! Fuckinghell, bargain of the century!

HeartAndSoul · « **Reply #2286 on:** March 10, 2024, 09:47:53 pm »

Surely he’s now our number one pen taker. Another pen he took today where you just knew it was going in. He’s an absolute bargain at £35 million. Some engine on him. If he had a touch more pace about him, it would be unfair on everyone else.

Dench57 · « **Reply #2287 on:** March 10, 2024, 09:50:10 pm »

Running out of superlatives. £35m - must be up there for signing of the season?

If he was quicker then he wouldn't have the same game intelligence. He reminds me of Alonso, he compensates for a lack of pace with his anticipation.

Yep, he's fucking amazing. Was well happy when we signed him but didn't know he was best midfielder on the planet good!! Absolute warrior as well, monster work rate, will challenge anyone and throw himself in anywhere. We are blessed to have him.

I would love to see how much ground he covered today. Has skill and football intelligence. A will to win and works his arse off. He seemed to be first out to the city man every time. Impossible to push him off the ball. He is so good. Almost the perfect footballer. GOD we are so blessed to have him.

He's far more street smart and aggressive than Alonso and much better in tight area's. He continues like this and he will have a much better Liverpool career than Xabi. I can imagine Alonso watching Macca from afar and salivating at the thought of building his Liverpool team around him.

Good to see him bounce back from his brain fart, I doubt he has given space away so meekly since he first started kicking a ball with his brother.

Schmidt · « **Reply #2298 on:** March 11, 2024, 12:50:10 am »

Twice now he's been forced to wait a long time to take a penalty and twice he has then made the keeper wait a long time before starting his run up. Seems pretty intentional.

Kopenhagen · « **Reply #2299 on:** March 11, 2024, 01:34:51 am »

What a fucking player.

Compare him to "Enzo" and the money paid - my god. Should be nailed on for team of the year.

I'd weed my neck out and claim that if Enzo came here, both him and Macca would have been be unstoppable.

Kansti · « **Reply #2301 on:** March 11, 2024, 01:50:12 am »

Haha. What an absolute joke of a player. I had high expectations for him when he first signed, but wow. He is so COMPETITIVE. An orchestrator in midfield who is a general at the same time. What dreams are made of.

There is the off chance that freeing him of Enzo has made him even better.

UNO · « **Reply #2303 on:** March 11, 2024, 02:27:33 am »

Today Macca is playing like a Messi playing in midfield, no wonder the real Messi loves playing with him! He is such an intelligent player and is controlling the midfield with Endo against some of the best midfielders in football. What a player.

Avens · « **Reply #2304 on:** March 11, 2024, 02:34:15 am »

I know he's been excellent all season, but this performance felt like a real coming out moment. He should be recognised as genuinely world class at this stage - and still only 25!

Air Jota · « **Reply #2305 on:** March 11, 2024, 03:51:40 am »

It really was. City have had the best midfield in the world for years and Mac was miles above any of them.

When he hits the level he did yesterday, then he's the ultimate all round midfielder. A creator and destroyer in one. It's outrageous to watch recently.

It's not a knock on Thiago, because he's been good when fit, but MacAllister really is the absolute very top bracket midfielder we thought we were getting with Thiago. He's that good. That performance alone yesterday deserves a league winner's medal. Best player on the pitch by a distance.

Phenomenal performance yesterday. Incredible mix of tenacity and guile. When he swerved round Rodri he invited the challenge to finally get Rodri booked.

The penalty was brilliant too after being made to wait and wait. Unsaveable with that much pressure. So impressive.

Enzo looks like he's still adapting to the PL. He wouldn't have been unstoppable.

alonsoisared · « **Reply #2311 on:** March 11, 2024, 06:55:52 am »

He's world class and his partnership with Endo looks so good at the moment. I can't remember our midfield being as dominant over theirs as it was yesterday.

Remember last summers transfer window many wanted a destroyer type midfielder? Who would have thought Mac & Endo, these two relatively smaller chaps, not the quickest or physically strongest would transform our midfield from what we had on show last season. Massive credit to all involved in signing these lads, Klopp and the coaches, these two in particular have been nothing short of brilliant, transformed us completely.

Thankfully, Madrid are fairly stocked in midfield or they'd be sniffing around, no doubt.

Crosby Nick · « **Reply #2319 on:** March 11, 2024, 11:04:16 am »

He’s so good. Had a slightly ‘slow’ start with us when in reality he was perfectly fine, just maybe didn’t catch the eye as much as others but in the last couple of months he’s really stepped forward and been our best and most consistent player I think. Just a great all round midfielder, does everything well, including taking penalties! Should be on them even with Mo on the pitch but time will tell on that one.
