Having said that, we could potentially have come away with all three points had the penalty decision gone our way. That statistic alone tells you all you need to know about Liverpool’s need for a defensive midfielder and control in this area of the pitch. Jurgen Klopp knows, the staff know and the fans know it’s what we’re crying out for. Mac Allister had a good game, but was playing in a role that is not his favoured position. Players taking on the responsibility of being the No.6 are the ones who constantly win second balls, which we saw Enzo Fernandez doing all game for Chelsea.
