Mac Allister Nets Brace for Argentina as Slot Urges Patience on Liverpool Minutes

A disrupted pre-season left him short of minutes, prompting a careful reintegration at club level.

Overview

  • The midfielder scored twice in the first half of Argentina’s 6-0 win over Puerto Rico in Miami and completed the full match.
  • He acknowledged his club season has started below his standards and said the goals help rebuild confidence.
  • Arne Slot said Mac Allister missed crucial preparation time, described his stop‑start minutes as “never an ideal scenario,” and insisted he will return to expected levels.
  • This was only his second 90-minute outing of the campaign, with both full matches coming for Argentina rather than Liverpool.
  • For Argentina he featured on the left in a 4-4-2, a role he seldom plays for Liverpool, as the club now manages his workload ahead of the Premier League resumption against Manchester United.
