Glen Johnson, a former defender for Liverpool, has said that he feels bad for Alexis Mac Allister, who has been playing out of position this year.
The pundit thinks that if the Reds start players in unusual places, they have no chance of winning the championship this year.In all 10 of Liverpool’s Premier League games this season, Jurgen Klopp has deployed the Argentine World Cup winner as a defensive midfielder.
Mac Allister has a more attack-minded profile throughout his career, as seen by his 70 games as an attacking midfielder and 58 appearances in central midfield.
I have a slight sympathy for Mac Allister. He’s clearly been asked to perform a task for which he is not quite comfortable, but he’s still contributing to the squad.”
It’s fantastic that he’s willing to do that, but I don’t think he was signed to play that job, and as title contenders, we can’t have too many players out of place. It’s exactly what they need right now from him,” he continued.
