Alexis Mac Allister revealed that despite Liverpool’s impressive 6-3 victory over Tottenham Hotspur, the players were not entirely satisfied with their performance.
Mac Allister, one of the four goalscorers in the thrilling match, stated that while Liverpool were pleased with the result, they were unhappy with conceding three goals. Despite putting six past Spurs, the World Cup-winning midfielder explained that the team discussed their defensive lapses in the dressing room.
“We spoke about it in the dressing room. We are not happy with the fact we conceded three goals, that’s very clear," Mac Allister told BBC after the game. "But we scored six, which is not easy. Tottenham are a good team, they press really high, they are aggressive, and we knew we had to put the ball in behind and take our chances. We're happy with the result, but there are many things to improve."
Liverpool manager Arne Slot echoed his midfielder’s thoughts, pointing out that although his team was excellent for most of the match, they allowed their intensity to drop in the latter stages. "For 60 minutes, we did everything we had to do. But then the same players with the same quality thought that 10 or 15 minutes of not working as hard was good enough," Slot said. "Tottenham have enough quality to score if you give them chances. You have to be on top of your game for the whole match, and we didn’t do that."
Liverpool will look to build on the win when they return to action on Boxing Day, hosting Leicester City at Anfield.
