“Done Really Well” – Alan Shearer Names Liverpool Trio Who Really Impressed Him vs AC Milan
Liverpool returned to winning form last night with a solid 3-1 victory in the UEFA Champions League against AC Milan.
Following a shocking defeat to Nottingham Forest on Saturday, Arne Slot faced the challenge of delivering a strong response in Liverpool’s European opener. The away match at the San Siro posed a significant test for the Dutch manager.
Despite falling behind 1-0, Liverpool responded impressively, with Ibrahima Konate, Virgil van Dijk, and Dominik Szoboszlai all finding the back of the net to secure the win in their first Champions League match of the season.
Alan Shearer singled out three Liverpool players for praise after their standout performances during the match.
Shearer Impressed with Liverpool’s Midfield Trio vs AC Milan
In his commentary on Amazon Prime‘s coverage of the match, Shearer highlighted the standout performance of Liverpool’s midfield trio—Alexis Mac Allister, Ryan Gravenberch, and Szoboszlai—during their game against Milan.
This season, the midfield trio has become the preferred choice for Slot, with Szoboszlai taking on the role of the advanced playmaker.
Meanwhile, Mac Allister and Gravenberch have settled into the deeper positions of two no. 6s. This tactical setup is beginning to yield significant results for Liverpool.
Shearer expressed his admiration for the midfielders’ performance at the San Siro, remarking: “The midfield of Liverpool has done really well tonight, I think. Mac Allister, Gravenberch and Szoboszlai.
“They have offered themselves a lot when Liverpool have gone on the attack. Other than the first five minutes when Milan scored, they have given great protection as well.”
Jurgen Klopp faced challenges last season in finding the ideal balance in Liverpool’s midfield, particularly after significant changes in the squad.
The summer saw the arrival of Mac Allister, Gravenberch, and Szoboszlai, who were brought in to replace key players like Fabinho and Jordan Henderson.
Now, with a year passed and Arne Slot at the helm, the new Liverpool manager has managed to identify the optimal midfield setup for the team.
This midfield combination has the potential to play a pivotal role for the Reds across all competitions this season.
Mac Allister, Gravenberch, and Szoboszlai provide a perfect mix of youthful energy and valuable experience.
They possess all the essential qualities needed to control the midfield, and this trio is expected to improve as the season unfolds under Slot’s guidance.
