Liverpool comfortably beat Nottingham Forest at Anfield and although Alexis McAllister was at his best, Jurgen Klopp faced a different decision regarding him.
After seeing Tottenham and Arsenal win in the last two days, Liverpool will need to get back into contention. First title race winner this season. It was the same against Nottingham Forest. Winning 3-0 at Anfield, the Reds dominated from the start and barely noticed their opponents’ momentum until the end of the game. Goals from Diogo Iotta, Darbin Nunes and Mohamed Salah gave them a deserved victory. Compared to their performance against the same opposition last season, it was almost night and day. After losing at the City Ground, Liverpool had to rely on Mohamed Salah to salvage a 3-2 defeat at the end of the campaign. There were no such concerns here. With the win, Liverpool claimed theirs.
This season’s title contenders sit just three points behind leaders Tottenham. What’s even more encouraging for Jurgen Klopp is that his new team, dubbed Liverpool 2.0, has really come into its own. Here’s what Liverpool.com found out and what you may have missed. Alexis McAllister looks set to become role number six. The Argentinian was at his best against Forest and further demonstrated why Klopp has used him this season.”Obviously it’s not something we’re discussing or we wouldn’t be playing him there,” he told reporters after the game (via the ECHO ). “I think nowadays everybody could benefit from a player who comes from the attacking side of the game rather than the other side.
“In the game you have to create something, you have to pass, you have to switch sides. This is. I am very happy for him.. And there are many defensive moments. They actually made the counter something like this. He was really there.”We wish Diaz the best of luck and hope his family is safe. We have confirmation that he will be back in the game soon.
