Alexis Mac Allister couldn’t get Liverpool ahead with a 25-yard strike in the first-half but the Argentine has been otherwise instrumental against Bournemouth.
Stats recorded and shared on X (formerly Twitter) by @StatmanDave indicate that the former Brighton man was ever-present, it’s fair to say.

What a fortunate position
It’s such a shame for us to have lost Wataru Endo to the Asian Cup (though we wish him the best of luck in the competition) at a time when he had become settled in the famous red shirt.
That said, it does soften the blow somewhat when you can call upon the services of a bona fide World Cup winner in Mac Allister to plug the gap.
The 25-year-old is more than justifying his return to the first-XI since recovering from injury.
We could have quite the interesting fight on our hands for the No.6 spot when our Japanese international is back with the squad!
Hi.
My comment may not be relevant to the above.
I need assistance in acquiring 2 tickets to see at least one match at Anfield. I’m a South African and would be really grateful if I can be assisted.
Regards… I hope I won’t walk alone.
