On Saturday, Liverpool defeated Wolves 3-1, although it’s clear that the final score doesn’t accurately reflect the game.
The Reds might have easily lost this match had the Midlands club not been a little bit more proficient in the final third, despite the fact that a 3-1 victory appears very easy.
Wolves completely controlled the first half, and if they had converted more of their opportunities, they would have destroyed Liverpool.
During his analysis of the match on The Game Football Podcast, Tony Cascarino singled out Alexis Mac Allister as a player who needed to improve.
Against Wolves, the £35 million player was replaced at halftime, and on Saturday, according to Cascarino, Mac Allister appeared to be playing with a parachute because he appeared so exhausted.
Mac Allister seemed worn out.
Cascarino rendered a judgment about the Argentine.
“Mac Allister, he was obviously jet lagged. I mentioned Casemiro’s jet lag and how it affected him. Mac Allister had the appearance of wearing a parachute. He consistently lost the ball. Being the last man puts you in danger if you throw the ball away in that situation. He was taken off right away at halftime because of this. Klopp believed he couldn’t leave him on because he lacked the mobility to move about, according to Cascarino.
To be anticipated
Although it pains us to repeat precisely what Jurgen Klopp has stated, it was inevitable.
Mac Allister will have had jet lag, as Cascarino claims. It didn’t help that the game started at 12:30 PM on a Saturday and that he had just returned from South America the day before.
Players won’t perform well if you expect them to participate within that time frame since the circumstances aren’t perfect.
Sooner rather than later, Mac Allister will be back to his best.
