Scholes Thinks Liverpool Got “Mac-Avellianized” …
Football legend Paul Scholes is convinced that Alexis Mac Allister is Liverpool’s secret ingredient – and things definitely go sour without him. The Argentine dynamo’s spark dimmed in the Carabao Cup final against Newcastle, and the Toon Army didn’t hesitate to pounce. After all, he can’t be Super Mac-Allister in every single match!
In Sunday’s showdown, Mac found himself out-jumped by the beanstalk-sized Dan Burn. Scholes points out, “The lads in middle had a rough day. Newcastle bulldozed through them like a hot knife through butter.” Scholes, in his infinite soccer wisdom, noted that the Argentine maestro was taking one too many dainty touches. He warned, “When you dance with giants, keep it short and sweet!”
Sharing his tactical tapestry, Liverpool’s coach, Arne Slot, reminds us that football is a game of zones and man-marking madness. Despite Burn’s laddish leaping prowess, Slot argues, “It’s not every day you see headers fired from downtown!” All staying within Liverpool’s meticulously crafted zonal puzzle. Thanks to that giant leap for Geordie kind, credit goes where due, even if it was a head-scratcher for Liverpool’s defense!
