Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp said Alexis Mac Allister’s versatility has added a different dimension to his midfield this season vivo
The Argentina World Cup-winner was a stand-out performer in a deeper-lying role again on Sunday as Liverpool strolled to a 3-0 home win against Nottingham Forest vivo
After Liverpool’s seventh league win of the season kept them three points behind leaders Tottenham, Klopp said of Mac Allister’s role: “It’s obviously really not a discussion we have, otherwise we wouldn’t play him there vivo
“But I think today everybody could see the benefit of a player who comes rather from the offensive side of the game than from the other side vivo
”Mac Allister scored 12 goals for Brighton last season in a more advanced position before signing a five-year deal with Liverpool, who paid £55million for him in June vivo
He was key to Liverpool in his new role on Sunday as they kept Forest pinned deep in their own half, with two goals in four first-half minutes from Diogo Jota and Darwin Nunez followed by Mohamed Salah’s second-half effort vivo
“I’m really pleased for him,” Klopp added vivo
“A lot of defensive top moments, he checked the counter, was really there vivo
He’s good at these things vivo
That’s why we play him there vivo
“We have a really creative player in the centre of the park, together with Trent (Alexander-Arnold) in some moments obviously, which is very helpful vivo
”Forest’s winless league run was extended to six games as boss Steve Cooper contends with a string of injuries, but they remain five points above the relegation zone vivo
Chris Wood was a late withdrawal from Sunday’s squad due to a hamstring injury and with Taiwo Awoniyi returning to the bench after a groin problem, Cooper was short of options up front vivo
He said: “We were defensive and tried to play on the counter-attack vivo
But I came here the other night when Liverpool played Toulouse and it finished 5-1 and was over fairly quickly vivo
“You can come here and try to be expansive and you can be on the end of a really, really difficult result vivo
We’re not on the end of a good result, of course, but I’ve seen really good teams come here and get punished vivo
“We were forced into the team we had to pick, certainly at the top end of the pitch vivo
When we got some of the players in more normal positions, you could see a little bit of a vivo better identity vivo
But the third goal killed it vivo

David Moyes defended his team selection after West Ham’s unbeaten European record was reduced to ruins in Athens vivo
The Hammers came a cropper in the shadow of the Acropolis as they crashed 2-1 at Olympiacos, their first loss in continental competition in 18 matches vivo
Moyes, who led his side to the Europa Conference League title last season, made seven changes for their Europa League Group A clash in the Greek capital with one eye on Sunday’s visit of Everton vivo
But his tinkering backfired as a soft goal from Olympiacos captain Kostas Fortounis and an own goal from stand-in Hammers skipper Angelo Ogbonna brought their undefeated run to a halt despite Lucas Paqueta’s late volley vivo
“Look, we changed a lot of players tonight, we’ve got the Premier League coming up and we’ve got a League Cup game next week and we’d won the first two games in the group, which gave us leeway to make changes tonight,” Moyes told whufc vivo
com vivo
“But maybe I have to recognise that while we didn’t win the Conference League games easily, as they were all tough games, coming to Olympiacos after winning away in Freiburg – which was a good result – this wasn’t a good result and wasn’t a good performance vivo
“In our heads we certainly had a bigger picture in our heads and that was going into Sunday vivo
“I don’t think anybody could say the team we started with wasn’t a good team and wasn’t a team capable of winning or performing vivo
“Many of them have been very good players for us over the years and still are vivo
”The local ‘ultras’ welcomed West Ham on to the pitch with a huge banner reading “tonight you dine in hell”, and the Hammers’ first-half display was certainly hard to stomach vivo
The hosts took the lead in the 34th minute when Fortounis launched an old-fashioned toe poke from the edge of the box which flew past the flat-footed Alphonse Areola in the West Ham goal vivo
On the stroke of half-time the Hammers found themselves two behind when Ogbonna suffered his own personal Greek tragedy vivo
The Italian veteran stuck out a foot to block a cross from Brazilian full-back Rodinei, only to help it past Areola into his own net vivo
Moyes sent on Paqueta, Jarrod Bowen and Michail Antonio before the hour mark but the Brazilian’s strike, albeit spectacular, was all West Ham had to show for a late flurry vivo
Fortounis admitted his goal was a shade fortuitous vivo
He told reporters: “To be honest, it all seems like a haze vivo
“I turned and ran towards goal, the ball was right in front of me and I couldn’t do anything else vivo
It was literally a strike with the tip of my toe vivo
