Topic: Welcome to Liverpool, Alexis Mac Allister

[Beninger]

He obviously got on the ball a lot when he played deeper. It really showcased his ability more than any other time I’ve seen him. With the way he can spot a pass, and the speed in which he can play it, he can be dangerous anywhere in the midfield.

[Clint Eastwood]

Could have easily gone for silly money this summer had it not been for his release clause. Seeing the drama with Caicedo ultimately ending in a £115m transfer should remind everyone of what a coup Mac was. Also no dodgy reps. He’s been great in pre-season, can’t wait to see him this year.

[kloppismydad]

He is so good! Cannot wait to see him play alongside Thiago.

[Bread]

Best player in the first 45 minutes for me. What a player, what a signing.

[HeartAndSoul]

Loved how sky are trying to push the narrative that he cost £55 million

[dirkster]

He is so good! Cannot wait to see him play alongside Thiago.

It's going to be a joy to behold.
What a pass for our goal.

[Samie]

Was really good, put him alongside a proper #6 for fucks sakes.

[MonsLibpool]

Great player. Not a 6 though.

[bird_lfc]

Yeah good performance by him. First half In particular was really good.

[gerrardisgod]

Build the team around him, fucking quality.

[Phineus]

Very tidy player, needs to player further forward.

[DelTrotter]

He was excellent, hopefully sign a DM so he's freed up for Newcastle, Bournemouth shouldn't matter.

[Clint Eastwood]

Not his best position but he's ace. Neville said one signing won't fix everything, but having a proper 6, allowing Mac Allister to play higher up will make a huge difference.

[RedG13]

Excellent. He better farther forward but can do a job there for now.

[SerbianScouser]

Felt sorry for him as he desperately needed an athletic ball winner next to him but you can see he's a class act.

Both him and Szobo are gonna be great additions.

This season already has a much better vibe than the last one.

[jillcwhomever]

I think he will be excellent for us if we get him a proper midfield partner. That has to be the priority.

[farawayred]

Absolute boss player! Him and So-boss-la would be something.

[MonsLibpool]

His pass for the first goal was incredible. The weight of it Mo didn't have to break stride and it went directly to his foot.

[SMASHerano]

We have an excellent player on our hands. Joy to watch.

[Shepnois]

Did a decent job in the 6 but its not where you want him, once we get a proper 6 in and move him forward he'll be a joy to watch.

[Oskar]

Really encouraging start given that’s not his best, or most natural, position to play in.

He’s going to be an excellent signing for us.

[Syntexity]

He’s class! He was upset with himself for the poor pass to Nunez. He’s going to be important for us.

[RedBec1993]

Was great today, the sooner we can move him up the pitch the better though, feel it’s a bit of a waste having him as the 6.

[Persephone]

Absolutely not a 6. Him and Szobo either side of a proper athletic DM.

[RedBec1993]

Absolutely not a 6. Him and Szobo either side of a proper athletic DM.

Yep, too talented on the ball to be a 6.

[tunred]

He must be our most technically gifted player (after Thiago), the sooner he moves to the 8 position the better
but a very promising start

[Bread]

Overall, an excellent performance and is going to be absolutely class for us.

Just wish he hadn't absolutely fizzed that ball at Darwin towards the end when Chelsea surrendered possession.

No Liverpool player won possession more times (10), won more duels (7), or completed more take-ons (2) than Alexis Mac Allister against Chelsea.

He won possession in the final third more times than any other player on the pitch (3).


Get a proper DM next to him and he will be the real deal.

that was a tough one. He was doing whatever he could be first to the ball and then one timed the pass.

[Cormack Snr]

Looks the part, will be another Liverpool great..

New Alonso needs new Mascherano.

[Keith Lard]

New Alonso needs new Mascherano.

Hell yes 👏

[T.Mills]

I like him.

[MonsLibpool]

Where did Sky get their £55m price tag from?

[LifelongRed, Sussex]

Where did Sky get their £55m price tag from?

How come their ‘errors’ are always on the high side?

Hyperbolic crap.

[Lynndenberries]

He’s brilliant. Our players need to get on his wavelength. There were multiple occasions where he got frustrated because players were just sitting on the ball and not moving it quickly.

[Draex]

Mental how good he is, easily as good as Enzo.

What a signing.

[ThePoolMan]

This. At current rates Macallister is a 100M player at least.

[Hoenheim]

Can't blame him as that was never a red, shocking decision.
I assume it's only a one-game suspension though
