Mac Allister just arrived at Anfield and has already received his first criticism, shocks everyone

Liverpool got their first reinforcement for next season, when they made official the arrival of Alexis Mac Allister at Anfield from Brighton & Hove Albion where he played last season. After his arrival, the fans are very excited, as he is a player who has just won the World Cup in Qatar 2022 so the expectations for him will be very high.

And no wonder, since a few months ago, Mac Allister became the top priority for Klopp and his coaching staff, as they consider that he could be the key piece in the new project that will put the Reds back in the top positions of the Premier League and help us to return to the Champions League as soon as possible.

In addition, the 24-year-old Argentine midfielder will wear the number 10 shirt, which previously belonged to a great legend of the team such as Sadio Mané. In other words, although the arrival of Mac Allister has excited a large sector of the fans, it is also true that great things are expected of him, which means that he will be under great pressure and constant criticism. Such is the case of what Darren Bent, the former England striker had to say about Alexis Mac Allister's arrival at Anfield.

Bent's words on Mac Allister

In an interview with Talksport, former England striker Darren Bent questioned the arrival of Alexis Mac Allister at Anfield. “Is he what you [Liverpool] need though? Don't get me wrong, I like him. I think he's very good. He can't run. What's Liverpool's midfield problem? You've got no legs”, he said.
