Even after joining Liverpool for a fee of 35 million pounds, Alexis Mac Allister was still warmly welcomed by Brighton on his return to The Amex last weekend.

Coach Jurgen Klopp described Mac Allister as a very fun person to work with, and he also commented that Allister is a player who is "super smart tactically. Mac Allister is one of the best matches." Copper was given priority by Liverpool last summer to rebuild the Red Brigade's midfield.

Many people expressed admiration and admiration for Mac Allister's assist for Darwin Nunez in the victory over West Ham 2 weeks ago. However, we still have the feeling that Mac Allister is not being used in the role that best suits him. He is not a player who plays as a number 6 and that has been very clear in recent matches.

During his four seasons playing for Brighton, Mac Allister played higher up or if he played in a lower position he would also have Moises Caicedo as his supporter. At Liverpool, Allister was tasked with being a defensive shield before opponents could penetrate dangerous areas. This will certainly be a big challenge for Mac Allister because he has long been accustomed to a position close to his team's attack line.

The task of bringing in a holding midfielder became paramount for Liverpool after Fabinho decided to go to Saudi Arabia to play. Initially, Liverpool wanted to get the services of Romeo Lavia and Moises Caicedo, but unfortunately, they let Chelsea have the upper hand and were forced to find another solution to fill this position. And the chosen one is Wataru Endo from Stuttgart Club.

However, since the beginning of the season, the Japanese player has only started one match for Liverpool. When Endo was assigned to start from the start in the match against Union SG in the Europa League, many people thought that he would play in the match against Brighton at the weekend, but in the end, Endo was not used and was only used. can direct his eyes to his teammates throughout the 90 minutes of football at The Amex.

Curtis Jones' suspension forced Harvey Elliott and Ryan Gravenberch to become one of the two men to take over the position left behind. Therefore, naturally, Mac Allister still has to play in the number 6 position - a position that caused him many difficulties when meeting his old team. Liverpool can let Mac Allister play in that position if they have an advantage and surpass their opponents. But most of Liverpool lost very early this season, so using that lesson is almost impossible.

The pass back to Van Dijk in Brighton's opening score did not mean much to Mac Allister. England will need to be much more vigilant because players like Simon Adingra are always lurking and ready to punish opponents' mistakes in the final third of the field.

In the match against Brighton, Mac Allister also let the opposing player pass relatively easily and when looking at the chart below, most of the free-kick positions are in relatively dangerous positions.

Allister himself was also the one who blocked Lewis Dunk's pass in the situation that led to the penalty that Mohamed Salah then correctly took.

Instead of playing hard to forget all the disadvantages like in the loss to Tottenham, Liverpool last weekend proved to be a somewhat gloomy team on the occasion of the 8th anniversary of Klopp's appointment as head coach of Liverpool. Liverpool. They played very well in the last minutes of the first half when Salah scored 2 goals to put Liverpool ahead and if the decision had been more correct, the referee should have decided to send off Pascal Grob after the pull. exposed Szoboszlai in the penalty area.

And of course, after a noisy week with the referee's wrong decision in the match against Tottenham Hotspur, Jurgen Klopp did not want to argue about the referee's decisions. He admitted that Liverpool did not make enough effort to win all 3 points in the confrontation with Brighton. If he continues to squander opportunities like Gravenberch's in the second half, his team will one day pay a heavy price. And the first lesson was dropping 2 points at The Amex last weekend.

The recent draw caused Brighton to still maintain its position as a team which caused a lot of discomfort for Liverpool. In the last 8 meetings in all competitions, Liverpool only had 1 victory against the "seagulls".

Liverpool is still in good form this season, that cannot be denied, but the role of No. 6 in the match will need to be recalculated by Jurgen Klopp. Mac Allister is not the right player for the No. 6 position. Some kind of swap is needed to bring the World Cup champion back to his natural position, where he can show off his best. of an attacking midfielder.
