Alexis Mac Allister Player Thread (M)

“There was nothing to do”

Lad was eager to get back. Fair play

f***in dynamite yesterday. Bit deeper than rest of the season and utterly impeccable.

What a player this boy is.

He's a complete midfielder. Can do it all

He is a pure footballer Si. Reads it, sees it, smells it and does it.

He was very good supporting Grav whenever he burst forward - you can see a nice partnership forming there

He's done well, but I won't hide it....expected more until now, so I've been slightly underwhelmed but of course it's early days.

For me he looked better back end of last season partnered next to Endo but I don't doubt the partnership with Grav will blossom in time.

I really thought he was excellent! So tidy and has unbelievable energy

Bargain signing, class act

Hopefully these clips will help some appreciate the unseen work he is doing

Mac attack.

Mac afend

He picked up a minor injury but can still play tomorrow morning.

Hope he is rested by the Argentinian manager.

He was introduced at around the 60th minute against Diaz's team.

That long through ball early in the game was something else.

Having just read what Slot said about him coming off, I seriously hope he doesn’t go on international duty

When I heard he'd be making way at HT I initially thought it was a tactical change, don't think he was up to much in the first half and ended with a cheap yellow....then saw he was sat with an ice pack on his leg but I can't remember him going down or taking a knock (Palace couldn't get close to any of our players) so to me this is a case of a player being overplayed.

He’s been managing this groin thing since the last international break. Argentina are cruising in qualification. Seems pretty unnecessary for him to go really. Probably will tho

Argentina can F**k off......well the players and coach all can as they're all scummy little rats, nothing against the country, beautiful country.

Couldn’t agree more. Sadly their most reliable journalist has already said he’s going, but will be assessed out there. Again feels very unnecessary but that’s our view…. He’s probably desperate to play.

Gary Mac will go to Argentina , he is very proud of his nationality and representing his country

He may be desperate to play but there also needs to be someone looking out for him and all the players to tell them when they need to take a break. The reason why he wasn't able to continue today was because the amount of football he's played since the Copa. It's getting ridiculous. Lessons need to be learnt.

It's qualifiers v F***ing Bolivia and Venezuela, common sense needs to prevail.

Very good football brain, reads the game well, more than decent enough with his touch etc etc....But...The one mild concern for me is his physicality.
Considering the amount of work he has to get through, he seems to lack stamina, often running on empty 20 minutes into a game. He doesn't look to have a particularly big frame and he's never going to have any noticeable pace....Anyone else seeing it?

I’d like to see him a bit further up the pitch.

Always feel his best games are when he can get on the ball and link up with the attackers. It might also help negate a bit of the physicality issue you mentioned.

Same.

He's perfect for the 10 role that Slot is using.
