[Albion] Alexis Mac Allister - *** New Contract Until 2025 ***

[Weststander]

I thought he played well today, especially second half.

 

[The Oldman]

Not played as well since returning from the World Cup. Is he being played in the wrong position?

Hes not as good as he thinks he is or our fans think.

For me his level is this team. Not a top 4 team.

Really can’t believe this is even a discussion

Just a WC winner, who once brought into the starting 11, made their CM tick.

Yeah….but apart from that ?

 

[dwayne]

I'm sticking to my guns on this. Most players would look good next to messi.

We will soon find out I guess !

He’s a marmite player.

99.9% of supporters can see what a quietly effective CM he is.

The 0.1% want to see a midfield trio of 3 box-to-box Jude Bellingham’s. Effective centre midfields don’t work like that.

There’s a head injury thread if you need to discuss any lingering symptoms you’re experiencing.

 

[BadFish]

love him but if he is going to play further forward he needs to practice hitting the corners with his shots. (Like Lallana ). He is quality but I would prefer Gross more attacking.

He’s absolutely brilliant.

- so true.

I normally agree with most of your posts, but Interestingly though, I didn’t think he played well yesterday. First half particularly. Weight of passes weren’t great, and I expected more.

Same with Mitoma…..

 

[Seasider78]

I think he looks exceptional alongside Caicedo and with such a range of passing controls how we play but I have been less convinced when we have played him further forward in his preferred position and we lose something as a team when he does.

Agree, he wasn’t at his best yesterday.
Despite controlling the game, our final 3rd passing was too heavy at times. I think MacAllister wants be the 10, but is more effective right now in the double pivot with Caicedo. I’d also prefer not to see Gross expected to defend(even though RDZ has now played him at both right and left back), he’s not strong in a tackle and shys away from heading. For me Gross is better as a 10

This is how I see it. I think he's better starting deeper with Caicedo, his range of passing and ability on the ball really help us move up the pitch. He's fine playing higher up the pitch but he has less influence on the game and we have a number of players who are as effective as him there.

I think De Zerbi is playing him and Gross in the wrong positions. Gross always looks way more effective to me when he's playing high up the pitch behind the striker and is less effective in a deeper midfield role. I'd like to see them swap positions and have Gross as the 10 and Ally Mac deeper with Caicedo.

most players except the entire argentina team until Mac was brought into the starting 11

 

[borat]

Im convinced he would have 2 goals in the last two games if he had laced the 2 volley opportunities hes had.

Tried to place with a side foot both times and ended up being easier to save

 

[Justice]

We are finding it difficult to replace Lallana simply not as good without him.

 

[sagaman]

With Lallana out for a spell, I would rather have Gross as number 10 role with other two great midfielders further back

 

[Justice]

I like to see Mitoma switch wings occasionally if he’s not getting any joy
