We don’t need him in the 6 over Szoboszlai or Jones, and we have Wirtz in the 10 now.”A third believes it is not just him struggling, though, saying: “He can’t seem to run anymore and is very slow on the ball.

He is another like Gakpo, VVD and Konate that have fallen off the cliff this season.”He can’t seem to run any more and is very slow on the ball He is another like Gakpo, vvd, konate that have fallen off the cliff this season— Tim wright (@Timw1983Wright) December 20, 2025 View Tweet A fourth is very keen to move him on, writing: “Macca is not the player he was last year. Sell in Jan or summer,” while another thinks he just needs a rest, saying: “Needs some time away from football.”Some fans still back the Argentine, however, with one writing: “It’s the system not the player,” while a seventh said: “Nothing wrong with Macca , he plays, we win!”An eighth is not sure if there is any way back for him, though, and that he could be suffering the same fate as Fabinho, writing: “He’s a 25 yr old who turned 40 last summer!” Who will be the biggest miss for Liverpool?

Use the comment button on the bottom left to have your say Liverpool could cash in on Alexis Mac Allister in the summerAlthough he can still add a lot to the team and it might just be a slight blip, Mac Allister will not be short of suitors and cashing in on him could be a smart move.Real Madrid are one of the teams who have looked at him before, and for the right price, moving him on could be the best option given the state of the team.As one fan mentioned, Ryan Gravenberch and Curtis Jones have proven to be essential to the midfield this season, while Florian Wirtz was brought in to be the number 10.This suggests that Mac Allister is the weakest link of the three and that if they are to replace anyone, it is him.Signing a defensive midfielder and moving Gravenberch a little further forward could be the best option, although fans must still give all the players until at least the end of the season.
