"Fried his head" - Paul Scholes accuses Liverpool of unsettling "brilliant" player
"He's been in and out and, like you say, with signing players, it's probably fried his head a little bit and he's not really sure what's what at the minute. Mac Allister is undoubtedly still a fine player, but LFC could do with him getting back to his best as soon as possible as they do seem to be struggling to control games like they did when he was looking more confident last season."
"Arne Slot undoubtedly has an interesting challenge now that the Liverpool starting line up doesn't quite pick itself like it did last term. The Dutch tactician inherited a settled squad from his predecessor Jurgen Klopp and barely made any changes to the team, but now he's brought in a lot more of his own players and it seems to have had a negative effect, with the team now on a run of three consecutive defeats."
"The Reds had a busy transfer window, bringing in big names like Alexander Isak, Hugo Ekitike and Florian Wirtz. Carragher felt that, as exciting as this was, it wasn't a very Liverpool kind of summer, but more like the way Real Madrid approach squad building. Scholes then singled out Mac Allister as someone who's form has dipped since his brilliant form last season, due to perhaps being less sure of his role."
Liverpool had a busy transfer window, bringing in Alexander Isak, Hugo Ekitike and Florian Wirtz. The recruitment resembled a Real Madrid-style squad overhaul rather than Liverpool's usual approach. Alexis Mac Allister excelled last season, controlling many games, but his form has dipped this term as he has been in and out of the team and appears uncertain about his role following the new signings. Mac Allister remains a high-quality player, but Liverpool need him to regain his best levels as the team struggles to control matches. Arne Slot faces the selection challenge after reshaping a previously settled squad; the side has lost three consecutive matches.
