Fantastic piece of business and I hope we can perhaps bring in one more CM. If those 2 played most of the games, then the physical toll on the likes of Thiago, Fabinho and Hendo would likely be considerably less and we should hopefully see them return to better form. We do have quite a few CMs still, but I think Jurgen will probably feel that he can still get something out of Fabinho, Hendo and Thiago for the time being
This is key for Jurgen's Liverpool 2.0. I agree those 3 still have a role to play, and Fabinho might yet return to his previously high levels. He certainly looked better with Trent roaming around midfield, tackling and picking up second balls, so Mac Allister could boost his confidence even more.
Think this signing also helps our back 3/4. An industrious, combative player in midfield with plenty of energy will be vital in transition - where teams have carved us open too easily this season, and made our high line look more fragile.
He seems to be a player that's a 'multiplier' - solving a problem, whilst making those around him better and being able to put out fires when we're under pressure, or provide a spark when we need a goal.
Really buzzing about this one, and I think he'll also be a great influence on players like Jones, Bajetic and Elliot.
