Neil Mellor highlighted the midfield dominance of Alexis McAllister and Dominic Szoboszlai in his review of Liverpool’s 3-0 win over Nottingham Forest.
Former Reds striker Mellor takes stock of the hosts’ performance against Steve Cooper’s side at Anfield on Sunday. “It was a comfortable win, a great win, a free and three goals, so it was a really good week,” he said.
“Over 700 passes in this game shows how much control Liverpool have. “Alexis ran the longest distance for Liverpool in a game and he is a very intelligent player and a very brave player.”We need players who can stop counter-attacks and make passes between the lines.
His influence was palpable and remarkable. “We talk about Szobosleigh every game, but we can’t ignore him because he’s very active. Mo Salah’s assistant was excellent.
He just introduced himself to his team-mates. “What I really like about him is that he is a very strong ball runner and he gets us going.
Only Darwin Nunez sprinted forward and beat him.”He reads the game very well, catches well and fits into the Liverpool mentality.” “It has a really good impact on the game,” he said.
