It has been a rough start for Liverpool trying to regain their form against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.Enzo Maresca’s side took a 1-0 lead through a stunning Moises Caicedo strike, which was unstoppable for Giorgi Mamardashvili on his Premier League debut.It was a mixed opener with the Reds having such a quick start to the game, piling on the pressure early with a few chances in and around the box, but even before the goal, there were signs of fragility.There is not much in the game, but Arne Slot’s team has looked frustrated by their opponents, who are not expected to win this game.Alexis Mac Allister had failed to close down Caicedo, who was able to take the strike on in an abundance of space, which has caused the visitors to be on the back foot.Photo by Gaspafotos/MB Media/Getty ImagesLiverpool fans criticise Alexis Mac Allister’s poor performanceThe Argentine has struggled this season with recurring fitness and injury issues, which have really affected his performances.However, he has not faced as much criticism as fellow teammates such as Florian Wirtz as Mac Allister came into the club for a much lower fee.Now, after this first half of football, Liverpool fans are all in agreement that the 26-year-old has not been good enough since the beginning of the season, especially during this match.One fan has spoken about how the midfielder has not faced the criticism that Wirtz has as he believes the German does not deserve to be on the bench.What does Jones have to do to start over Mac Allister? How many more poor games can he have?

He’s been awful this season but because he wasn’t £116m like Wirtz he isn’t getting the criticism.”Another fan on X agreed with the sentiment of no one speaking about how poorly the player has been since the start of this season.“Another player that nobody talks about his price anymore because he’s just that damn good.

No defensive discipline at all.”Another agreed: “MAC ALLISTER CLOSE HIM DOWN MAYBE?”Instead of Mac Allister starting the next games it seems fans would like to see Curtis Jones return to the starting XI instead.“This midfield is soft man, playing an out of form Mac Allister over Jones made no sense from the get go,” they wrote.The same problem Liverpool had vs Palace and Galatasaray there. How many more poor games can he have?
