Besides the attack, Liverpool’s midfield deserves praise. Among them, star Alexis Mac Allister became a prominent highlight. The 25-year-old midfielder was scored 9/10 by Whoscored.

The statistics prove Allister’s sublime playing day. The Argentinian international contributed one shot, won two aerial duels, 9 accurate tackles, and created 4 key passes throughout the 90 minutes.

In the summer of 2023, The Kop approved spending 35 million pounds, signing Mac Allister from Brighton. In the context of lacking a holding midfielder, Klopp caused controversy when he decided to arrange Allister to play the anchor in the midfield.

Many experts highly appreciated Allister’s performance in the first 45 minutes against Bournemouth. The former Brighton star sent accurate passes to Darwin Nunez, opening up favorable attack space for Liverpool.

Besides the offensive front, Allister is equally outstanding in terms of defensive support. According to statistics from Whoscored, the 25-year-old midfielder had the most tackles and ball recoveries among Liverpool players against Bournemouth.

Sharing after the match, Klopp praised his student: “I have known this guy since the summer. I knew Allister’s talent before that. He did not play the number 6 role in the Brighton shirt. “.

“Allister is a very intelligent player, extremely intelligent. In a tight squad, he is an excellent number 6. Allister plays excellently in his role. Today, he had a remarkable performance. amazing, calm when he has the ball, a really good player.”

Besides Klopp, many experts highly appreciate Allister. Commenting on Sky Sports, former player Jamie Carragher said that the 25-year-old midfielder was Liverpool’s best player in the first half.

Allister will not be fixed in the No. 6 role. Klopp will likely adjust and position the Argentine midfielder to play higher when Endo Wataru and Dominik Szoboszlai return to the main squad.

Allister has the opportunity to be freed from defensive duties and develop his creative qualities if he plays in the attacking role. Despite the temporary ‘firefighting’ mission, Allister is playing excellent football, contributing to Liverpool’s top position.
