"Sickening how underrated he is", "Class act as always" - Liverpool fans hail superstar after his showing in 2-0 win over Bologna

Liverpool fans have waxed lyrical about Alexis Mac Allister after his exceptional performance in their 2-0 win against Bologna. The two sides locked horns in their UEFA Champions League fixture at Anfield on Wednesday, October 2.

The Reds took an early lead in the 11th minute when Mac Allister timed his run to perfection, converting Mohamed Salah's delightful cross from close range. Bologna found their rhythm late in the first half but were denied by the woodwork in the 32nd minute from Ndoye's effort.

The visitors bravely searched for an equalizer after the break but were undone by Salah's sensational screamer into the top-left corner in the 75th minute.

Mac Allister looked comfortable pulling the strings in midfield, playing alongside Ryan Gravenberch in Liverpool's double pivot. The Argentine completed 36 out of his 40 passes with an accuracy of 90 percent, scored a goal, made five recoveries, and won five duels.

One fan reacted by tweeting:

"Mac Allister is one of the best midfielders in the world. It's sickening how underrated he is."

Another fan posted:

"Alexis Mac Allister v Bologna. 35/39 passes (90% accuracy), 5 Duels won, 3 Interceptions, 4 Recoveries, 1 Goal, Class act as always!"

Other fans also reacted:

Y'all overlook Mac allister... man is easily the man of the match," one fan commented

"Alexis Mac Allister appreciation post! Going under the radar but having a very very good season!" another added

"Mac Allister in the UCL is going to be insane, what a man," one fan posted

"£35m for Mac Allister to Liverpool in this broken market was an absolute steal. One of the best deals in this era. Most £100m player you'll ever come across," another chimed in

"There is room for improvement" - Alexis Mac Allister gives his verdict on Liverpool's transition under Arne Slot

Liverpool midfielder Alexis Mac Allister has admitted the Reds have room for improvement as they continue to fully come together as a unit under Arne Slot.

Slot has done a remarkable job since replacing club icon Jurgen Klopp over the summer. The Dutchman has won eight games out of his nine in charge across all competitions so far - becoming the first manager in the club's history to do so.

Mac Allister stated after the win against Bologna (via @AnfieldSector):

“It is clear we are in transition, we are happy with the ideas, we are trying to get there. There is room for improvement, that's why we work very hard every day."

The Argentine midfielder also gave his thoughts on the game:

“I’m really happy personally but for the team. He [Alisson] made some good saves. Sometimes I think we need to defend better, at least Ali showed how good he is. I’m happy for him and for the team.”

Following their hard-fought win against Bologna, the Reds are currently fifth in the Champions League standings with six points from two games, behind leaders Borussia Dortmund on goal difference.

Liverpool next face Crystal Palace in the Premier League away from home on Saturday, October 5.
