I'm surprised I can't see this mentioned anywhere but did anyone else view Mac Allister as the stand out player in the Bournemouth game? Seems his game yesterday was taken a little for granted in punditry and media circles! I thought it was outstanding myself.

I agree metro I thought Mac was quality yesterday.

When Endo came into the team in Dec it was almost forgotten about that Mac had played the previous games beforehand at Dm and we’d only lost one which was the Spurs game.

Mac and Endo both have their strengths and weakness’s like every other player worldwide but I’m so happy we have both in our squad doing well.

Mac Allister was my man of the match. That is backed up by his stats too - he won back possession on 15 occasion and competed in 19 duels and made 7 successful tackles - all game high stats (and I think the tackles stat is the highest by any Liverpool player in any game this season) .

I also thought Konate was immense.

MoTM for me. Even in the first have he was decent when others were struggling.

Metro, I did. He was phenomenal in near every way possible hence, why I posted that I was having difficulty giving the a MOTM award cos he was the one I really wanted to give it too BUT Darwin, Jota and Gomez are also great candidates, IMO. You know it's a good day at the office if you have struggles like this, right?

His best performance for us till date? Definitely
But he can play even better
But I think this match showed he can actually be strong on the ball in the defensive end and be switched on, just not sure if it’s also Bournemouth not being particularly good too that made him look even better. I remember at one point he won the ball, rode 2 challenges and passed it well. In that moment I was like ‘whao, that’s a proper 6’.

Wait till the match review mate! Btw the Southampton one hasn't been put in a long time too???.

{Ed001's Note - I won't have time to do one for the next couple of weeks as my parents are visiting. Sorry.}

@ed 001, really you guys have parents, I thought all editors were molded by the gods and put among us mere mortals for insight in football matters. That’s enough brown nosing from me today. Joking aside enjoy the time with your parents, as a Belgian living in Brasil I know how precious it is to have loved ones over from your homeland.

{Ed001's Note - maybe that is how the other editors arrived here, but I was put among them to prove that even an editor is merely human. Thanks mate, it is very good to see them, though not seeing them for so long makes it really hit home how old they have gotten! How did you end up in Brazil? Are you like one of those Scots that went abroad for a World Cup and just never left after it finished?}

No mate, I’m not interested in international football. I met my wife, who’s Brazilian, in Belgium. We decided to visit her family for a couple of months and I just never returned. We bought a small farm in the mountains and that’s the story really. But you’re absolutely right, it’s hard seeing your parents and in my case also my grandfather age when you don’t get to see them for prolonged periods of time.

{Ed001's Note - how long have you been there?}

5 years now, how long have you been away from Liverpool?

{Ed001's Note - just 2 years now, I went back for a few months before moving here.}

{Ed001's Note - thanks Salah it is really nice to see them.}
