Mac Allister hails Alisson after Palace win as Liverpool look to keep improving
Liverpool's win over Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park has sparked a wave of reaction, with Alexis Mac Allister the headline voice as the Reds prepare for the post-international break run-in.
LiverpoolFC.com reports that Mac Allister wants his side to keep improving their performance levels once football resumes after the break (LiverpoolFC.com). That theme of improvement ties into the Palace victory itself, where the Liverpool Echo says Mac Allister revealed what the Palace players couldn't quite believe about goalkeeper Alisson Becker's performance (Liverpool Echo), a point echoed by Liverpool.com, who say Mac Allister explained what the opposition couldn't believe about his teammate, suggesting Alisson was the one who stole the show at Selhurst Park even as Mac Allister again impressed (Liverpool.com).
Alisson's future is also in the headlines. Liverpool.com reports that the Brazilian has made his feelings clear on extending his Liverpool contract, saying "my agent is talking" after head coach Andoni Iraola stated that any new deal would partly come down to what Alisson himself wanted (Liverpool.com).
Mac Allister's own contract situation is a running theme too. This Is Anfield reports that the midfielder has denied that any uncertainty over his contract sparked his recent upturn in form (This Is Anfield), while Liverpool.com adds that Steven Gerrard has praised Mac Allister's form this season, with the player said to want a new deal amid his good showings under Iraola (Liverpool.com).
Gerrard also had plenty to say about Sunday's win itself. Liverpool.com reports that the Reds legend was pleased to see Florian Wirtz score against Crystal Palace, though he has issued a demand for even more from the forward in the months ahead, spotting a positive change in his game (Liverpool.com).
Taken together, the picture from Liverpool's perspective is a positive one: a win over Crystal Palace built on a strong Alisson display, a Wirtz goal that has pleased Gerrard, and contract talk swirling around both Alisson and Mac Allister as Liverpool look to build on their form after the international break.
