Gravenberch, Mac Allister and Szoboszlai steer Liverpool back to winning rhythm
Arne Slot’s decision to restore last season’s midfield trio of Gravenberch, Mac Allister and Szoboszlai has delivered wins over Aston Villa and Real Madrid—both with clean sheets. Slot insists it’s teamwork, not magic, though Reds fans might swear he’s updated the software mid-season.
Mac Allister’s form rebooted perfectly: an assist against Villa and the winner versus Madrid, as Wirtz adjusted to a left-side role with Gakpo benched. Slot praised the balance but joked that too many explanations can sound like excuses—something only pundits can truly master.
