Review'Mac Allister is clever but brave as well - he was magnificent'
Neil Mellor highlighted the midfield dominance of Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai in his review of Liverpool's 3-0 win over Nottingham Forest.
During his regular post-match Review Show, which is now available to watch on LFCTV GO, former Reds striker Mellor analysed the hosts' display against Steve Cooper's side at Anfield on Sunday.
"It was a comfortable victory and pleasing victory, clean sheet and three goals as well, so it has been a great week," he said. "Having over 700 passes in this game shows just how much control Liverpool had.
"Alexis clocked the most distance for Liverpool during the game and he is a very clever player but a very brave player as well.
"You need players like that, can stop a counter-attack and then want to make that pass in between the lines, and his influence out there was clear to see, he was magnificent.
"We talk about Szoboszlai every game, but we can't ignore him as he has so much involvement. The assist for Mo Salah was absolutely brilliant, he just makes himself available for his teammates.
"What I really like about him is he is such a strong runner with the ball and he sets us off on the attack, only Darwin Nunez beat him for sprints forward on the day.
"He just reads the game really well, intercepts really well and he fits what Liverpool is all about, he is influencing games really well."
