Mac Allister’s Argentina Brace Rekindles Confidence, Puts Liverpool Role Under Review

The midfielder says the goals can rebuild belief after an injury-hit start.

Overview

  • Alexis Mac Allister scored twice in Argentina’s 6-0 win over Puerto Rico in Miami and completed his first full 90 minutes since April.
  • He admitted his Liverpool season has not begun well and said the international goals can help restore confidence.
  • After last season’s injury and a curtailed pre-season, Arne Slot has managed his minutes, with nine appearances and only two outings beyond 65 minutes.
  • Lionel Scaloni used him on the left in a 4-4-2, a role he has not played for Liverpool, with any club tactical tweaks viewed as speculative at this stage.
  • Liverpool resume after three consecutive defeats in all competitions, as fellow midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai impressed for Hungary with a goal and an assist.
