“But as we always say, at a club like this there’s no time to rest or get carried away with what’s happened – you just have to try to win and think about the next game.” Alexis Mac Allister explains mistake Liverpool cannot afford to make ahead of Man United

Alexis Mac Allister has emphasized that Liverpool will remain focused and level-headed despite their impressive start to the Premier League season, as they approach the crucial second half of the campaign.

Currently leading the league by six points with a game in hand, Liverpool is preparing for a pivotal showdown against long-time rivals Manchester United on Sunday.

Under the guidance of manager Arne Slot, the Reds ended 2024 in spectacular fashion, securing a dominant 5-0 win over West Ham United. This victory marked their 23rd triumph in 27 matches across all competitions.

The team resumed training on Thursday following a brief break, fully intent on compounding United’s recent woes. The Manchester side, managed by Ruben Amorim, sits in 14th place after suffering three consecutive league defeats.

Reflecting on the season so far, Mac Allister remarked, “We’re in an excellent place, and the team spirit is fantastic. But at a club like Liverpool, there’s no space for complacency. Our focus is always on the next challenge and maintaining our winning momentum.”

The Argentine midfielder, who recently celebrated his 50th Premier League appearance during the match against West Ham, highlighted the importance of squad unity. “Every player has a role to play, whether starting or coming off the bench. To win trophies, everyone must step up when called upon.”

This season, Mac Allister has thrived in a defensive midfield position under Slot’s leadership, appearing in all but two matches due to a suspension. Reflecting on Slot’s impact since taking over from Jurgen Klopp, he said, “From the beginning, Slot introduced clear tactical strategies, and we’ve fully embraced his vision. It’s remarkable how he’s seamlessly followed in Klopp’s footsteps. We’re dedicated to giving our all and achieving success for him.”

With a goal and two assists in his last three outings, Mac Allister is eager to keep improving. “I enjoy contributing with goals and assists, and I’m always pushing to improve my stats. While I’m pleased with my performances, I know there’s more

I can offer.”
