MAC ALLISTER'S NUMBERS ARE SCARY! Liverpool Have a Decision to Make
Dave Davis and Michael Reid return with Numbers Don't Lie, putting the statistics behind Liverpool's season under the microscope.
This time, Alexis Mac Allister takes centre stage. After questions surrounding his future and his disappointment at not receiving a new contract, the Argentine appears to be delivering his response on the pitch.
Michael breaks down a remarkable improvement in Mac Allister's numbers. His line-breaking passing has surged, he's progressing Liverpool through midfield with greater regularity and his defensive output has also improved. Even more impressively, Mac Allister is attempting more ambitious passes while becoming more accurate, not less.
His performance against Bournemouth demonstrated exactly why the numbers matter. Seven recoveries, four clearances, two tackles, 14 passes into the final third and 19 line-breaking passes showed a midfielder influencing virtually every phase of the game.
With Gravenberch and Szoboszlai already receiving new deals, has Mac Allister now given Liverpool and Julian Ward something serious to think about?
Dave and Michael also discuss Liverpool's international break, injuries to Alexander Isak and Cody Gakpo, and why losing Gakpo could prove particularly damaging ahead of Manchester City.
