Mac Allister Impressed with Liverpool’s Progress Under Slot
Alexis Mac Allister has expressed his satisfaction with Liverpool’s development under new manager Arne Slot. The midfielder played a key role in the Reds’ 2-0 victory over Brentford on Sunday, which marked their second consecutive win of the season.
Mac Allister helped Liverpool to a second successive win at the start of the 2024-25 Premier League season as the Reds beat Brentford 2-0 at Anfield.
Slot became the first Liverpool boss to win his opening two league games since April 1991.
And Mac Allister, who has been an integral part of much of Liverpool’s play, believes Liverpool are adapting quickly to their new manager’s approach.
He told Sky Sports: “We played a fantastic game.
“The team gave everything from the first minute which you could see and it was a good game. In possession and without the ball it was good so we are really pleased.”
Liverpool were in dominant form for much of Sunday’s encounter, mustering 19 shots for an accumulative 2.65 expected goals to Brentford’s 0.36 xG.
But Mac Allister knows there is still more to come from the Reds, who are one of four teams to have won their opening two matches.
“We know there is still room for improvement,” Mac Allister said.
“In the transition sometimes we need to be patient but instead we are quite direct but we are in that transition [towards that style]. Everyone is working hard to get into Arne’s ideas.”
Slot’s biggest test so far as Liverpool coach arrives next Sunday in the form of Manchester United at Old Trafford, and Mac Allister is aware of the enormity of the fixture for both players and supporters.
“We know against Man Utd it is a derby, it is very important for the club and for us. We will prepare during the week and do our best to win that game,” he added.
