Alexis Mac Allister must fix his Liverpool weakness, Argentina performance exposes it

Mac Allister has impressed at Liverpool this season but lacks creativity in the final third, creating just one chance in Argentina's match against Uruguay despite 66 touches.

Alexis Mac Allister has been in excellent form for Liverpool this season under Andoni Iraola, widely regarded as the team's best player. However, an analysis of his performance on international duty with Argentina has exposed a weakness in his game.

Despite accumulating 66 touches in Argentina's match against Uruguay, Mac Allister created just one chance and failed to produce a big chance for his nation. This mirrors a broader issue at Liverpool, where the midfielder has yet to create a single big chance this season despite his technical quality and ball-handling ability.

While Mac Allister excels at keeping possession and controlling tempo, he is not translating his touches into decisive final-third actions. Playing in a deeper midfield position, he has the optimal platform to deliver penetrative passes into the box or through defensive lines.

Adding more creativity to his game—while maintaining his current safety on the ball—would elevate him further and cement his status as Liverpool's standout midfielder.
