Arne Slot Heartened by Mac Allisters Revival in Form

Liverpool head coach Arne Slot feels that Alexis Mac Allister is rediscovering his top condition after the creative players late decisive strike against Nottingham Forest.

The Argentine midfielder netted in the dying moments at the City Ground during Sundays match to clinch a narrow 1-0 triumph for the Premier League title holders.

Mac Allister grabbed the winner by reacting quickly to a rebound from near the goal line shortly after seeing an earlier effort disallowed by VAR officials.

I reckon what he required was exactly what hes delivered over the past six seven or eight outings a sequence of matches allowing him to return to the high standard he frequently displayed throughout the previous campaign Slot commented.

He maintained that quality during the early part of this season too but it fluctuated alongside the squads overall displays which had their peaks and troughs.

However Ive noticed greater steadiness lately not just in Mac Allisters showings but also across the teams efforts and various players contributions.

Its always pleasing for any footballer to find the net particularly when it happens right at the end of added time.

The manager from the Netherlands whose team sits just beyond the Champions League qualification spots due solely to inferior goal difference after a string of underwhelming outcomes continued We truly required that strike and that victory to experience some good fortune now and then since we have faced considerable misfortune throughout the campaign.

For the initial occasion at least thats how it seemed to me we have enjoyed a touch of luck this term.
