The Dutchman was spotted motioning for the Argentine to get up after he’d collapsed following light contact with Ezri Konsa during a corner kick situation.
Jamie Carragher was even more disgruntled on comms for Sky Sports,
Alexis Mac Allister annoys Arne Slot & Jamie Carragher
You can understand why Slot was frustrated. Liverpool were a goal down, prior to Ollie Watkins’ second effort, and still had a chance of extracting something from their trip to Villa Park.

Carragher, covering the game for Sky Sports, couldn’t hide his own annoyance at the situation.
“Oh. Honest to God. It’s embarrassing. Just get up. Honestly,” the former centre-back said.
“It would be embarrassing if they sent Konsa off for that.
“Mac Allister must know: we all look at the replays. We can all see what Konsa has done. He knows he can’t get away with it.”
Liverpool have been pathetic against Aston Villa
You could maybe understand Mac Allister trying it on a bit if the ball were in the Villa half and Liverpool were standing around in the hosts’ box.
But to be messing around and wasting valuable time in which the Reds could have progressed in the game and secured an equaliser is, well, frankly, unforgivable.
For the hosts to then proceed to make the score 3-1 after VAR found no violent conduct had occurred between Konsa and the former Brighton star was just utterly unsurprising.
It’s exactly what Liverpool deserve after delivering yet another, on the whole, spineless performance in the Premier League.
Not to mention another game in which Alexis Mac Allister, after an okay first-half outing, has gone largely missing.
I was the only one to say it , and I said it before anyone. Before a ball was kicked last summer
Far too many lightweight players in this Liverpool team. Made worse by the signings in the summer. We’ll keep conceding goals from set pieces and keep getting picked off on the counter unless there’s massive change. Soft centers everywhere especially in midfield.
Good luck to villa in the final. As for us we shouldn’t be in the champions league, not good enough.
Agree about us not deserving a place in the Champions League.They will just go there and embarass the club further.
Well slot certainly put his stamp on this Liverpool team,got rid of to many to quick,must go!!!
Does Slot know what he is doing? Removing Gomez n Gravenberch where against you you have Watkins, Rogers McGinns? That’s the turning point in the game and Lfc demise.
Hudges & Slot should be shown the door out
Slot inherited a side that still played with the ferocity that was demanded by klopp. That’s why they won the league. Luis Diaz should never have been lost. Since Trent left salah has not been the same threat.
Slot does not seem to have the drive or the tactics to progress the team further, the incoming players last summer were his choices. Although technically skilled they do not possess the passion and the drive that is needed to win in the premier league. It has to be fought for.
Macallister and szoboslai were key midfield generals during klopp era. The problem we have now is slot refusing to play our best players with the winning klopp formula.
