Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher has delivered a brutal assessment of one of Liverpool’s most high-profile signings, claiming his poor form is not only hurting the team but also dragging down new star Florian Wirtz.
Speaking after Liverpool’s clash with Galatasaray, Carragher didn’t hold back:
“Today against Galatasaray, I don’t want to see him — Mac Allister — starting at all. He’s been another bad player for Liverpool this season. His performances have been silently costing the team since the start of the campaign. He hasn’t been at his best and, even worse, he’s making Wirtz look like a bad player.”
Carragher’s Harsh Truth
Carragher’s words reflect growing frustration among fans who have noticed that Alexis Mac Allister has been far from the dynamic midfielder he was expected to be when Liverpool signed him for £35 million. His misplaced passes, lack of defensive presence, and inconsistency in possession have not only disrupted Liverpool’s midfield rhythm but, according to Carragher, are also stunting the creative influence of Wirtz.
Fans React Strongly
Supporters on social media echoed Carragher’s statement, with many suggesting that Arne Slot should drop Mac Allister from the starting lineup until he regains form. Others pointed out that Liverpool’s midfield balance looks off whenever he plays full 90 minutes.
“Carragher is spot on, Mac Allister has lost his sharpness.”
“He’s making Wirtz look ordinary, and that’s criminal.”
“Drop him before it’s too late.”
Conclusion
With a huge season ahead and Liverpool battling on multiple fronts, the pressure is mounting on Mac Allister to rediscover the form that once made him a key midfield signing. For now, though, Carragher’s explosive comments have sparked serious debate among the Liverpool faithful.
