Nice analysis, except why assume that Mac will replace Jones? Its more likely that he will play instead of Hendo, who will turn 33 this week and who's minutes need to shrink. Also, Fab's from was iffy the whole season, and he will be 30 this year.
please add subtitles to your videos.
I think you are missing that Klopp playing Mac alister, would mean that Trent is not going to be that advanced. In fact, he reduces the load on Trent and that will fix a lot of things
That's why I always think that by signing Mac Allister we need a pure attacking midfielder to create chances
easy awnser, because is looserpool
Control is what we desperately need in that midfield .. can't tell how many times they lost the ball upfront then get rekt on the counter attack, that's why Mac Allister is the best deal for the best price. Not only him, i expect 1 more midfield and a CB .. i still trust Calvin Ramsay even though he came in injured
This will help but they need more defenders. Their problem is the number of goals they are giving up.
There's no doubt Liverpool will sign more players…. they'll improve next season
Klop needs left footed cb i thin he will play 3cb next season
Klopp out this guy in
Klopp won't play that system again
Mac Allister has Gini familiarities all over him. It’s something we’re sorely lacked in the last couple of years.
That’s why Thuram is gonna be the key
This is not going to age well…
Its called a Football TEAM, since when does 1 player fix a whole team! common sense is needed.
Without watching the video. HE CAN'T RUN!!!!!
Complaining about Mac10 passing a ball out wide. Wonder where Liverpool play most of the passing lanes.
Why your videos wont save your channel
Liverpool are going to play 3223 with Arnold in the first 2 with fabinio. Macc Nunez and gapko are the middle triangle.
That's why Liverpool will make more signings
But I have a question. Who said Mc Allister would solve all Liverpool 's problems? All I've heard is that he's a decent signing who we hope would improve the side
average player
World Cup winner but hes no game changer sounds like a Joe Allen type nothing special at all Jones should give him some competition
As a United fan, this is great news! 😅
Who's saying he will? We need 3/4 midfielders, a defensive mid and centre back. If Arnold moves into the middle we'll need a right back. Should get one anyway Arnold is awful.
You have a 🌟 missing
So is Macallister the only signing that Liverpool make this season?
This dude is acting like we are only gonna sign Macalister and think that’s problem solved 😂😂Gabri Veiga and Kone will be in the midfield too 😂😂 keep your trash opinions of the net
Because what we need is another world class CB or VVD to get his mojo back.
Wonderfully explained. I hope Mac Allister signs for LFC and i want to see more signings before pre season.
No brainer that Mac Allister won't solve all of Liverpool's problem
Liverpool will be incredible next season mark my words, I'm a spurs fan btw so there's no bias
Our problem last season was controlling the midfield and creating chances from midfield, Mac Allister is a good ball player, he will fit as a box to box midfielder. We are waiting to see if Klopp will move Trent to midfield full time because he is just too good in midfield, he made us forget about Bellingham. Two more midfield signings to replace ageing Fabinho and Henderson, hopefully Bajcetic and Jones will improve more
NO ONE HAS SAID HE WILL FIX LFC – what they have said is – that he is/will be a better midfielder than MOST of the current midfield options at LFC, currently
Mid watching this I realised why am I listening to a guy who isn’t anywhere near Klopp and no one knows what their tactics are next season.
We are not asking him to fix Liverpool it’s a team game you idiot which is why we’ll sign multiple and need a midfield rebuild which is what we’re doing
He wasn't brought to fix all our problems you donkeys. He was brought in to be PARTA of a new midfield. Not the whole thing. Such a silly video.
Macalister,
Is only going to get us top 6 at his best simple.
He is a average player that cant do anything great but everything average.
LFC fans that dont know anything about football are getting secmxed up about this signing.
We already have better players than him
Elliot is better at our Midfield system
Jones is better at our Midfield system
Hendo is better
So signing Macalister a jack of all trades master of none is not the answer.
Jude would have been a perfect fit and if we only signed him we would be challenging City next yea.
We are a Genepress Midfeild this is what got us the tile and champions league.
So if its not broke why try to fix it ?
Get 3 Genepress monsters in Midfield and were back.
Replace a slow and ageing Fabinio with Ugarte at all costs but he will end up at PSG
Just like Jude ended up at Real.
Kone would be a good fit
Not sure about Thurman but under Klopp those 2 have what it takes to be Genepress monsters young ,quick ,energetic with stamina.
This video is spot on and goes through all the reasons why Macalister is a liability signing not fit for purpose.
As Rafa quoted i asked for a table they gave me a Lampshade ?
Horsers for courses
We are LFC football club we should not be buying mediocre players this Macalister would NEVER get into any of the Top clilub sides in world football so how we ended up buying him is beyond me.
If you dont understand football watch this video again.
Tifo also said Jadon Sancho was a ridiculously good signing for united so I'll take your predictions with a large pinch of salt
is he related to the guy twenty years ago or so that played for Estudiantes?
i suspect that we'll have to wait and see how the team sets up once liverpool sort out their team for next year…i suspect there will be more arrivals before kick off
I don’t know where you guys are coming for this assumption. I don’t see any Liverpool sauce or Liverpool fan claim that he’s gonna solve all of our problems. This is just lazy content making.
He is a replacement for tiago or hendrson
But still need a player like amrabt from feriontina and a player like gini winaldom
