This evening’s victory over Nottingham Forest was the least difficult of Liverpool’s seven victories so far in the Premier League so far this season.
At Anfield, the Reds cruised to a 3-0 victory, and goalkeeper Alisson Becker recorded his second consecutive clean sheet in the Premier League. Additionally, all three of the starting forwards for Liverpool found the back of the net during the game.
The game started this afternoon, and in the 58th minute, there was a moment that will concern Jurgen Klopp come November.
Alexis Mac Allister received a yellow card from the referee, Chris Kavanagh, for committing a foul on a player for the Forest team just before the hour mark. It did not really make a difference for the game that was played today, but it may make a difference for games in the future.
The Argentine player received his fourth yellow card of the Premier League season, which means that he is now just one yellow card away from an inevitable one-match suspension for receiving too many yellow cards.
The 24-year-old player was also cautioned with a red card during the team’s 3-1 victory over Bournemouth in August, but he was spared a suspension as a result of an appeal that properly overturned the ludicrous initial judgment.
If Mac Allister receives a caution during the match against Brentford in two weeks, he will be held responsible for the trip to Manchester City on November 25. The match against Brentford will take place in two weeks.
Wataru Endo, who had a strong performance on Thursday against Toulouse, has the ability to fill in at number six for Liverpool if that position becomes necessary. The head coach’s top choice, however, would be ideal for the team’s journey to the Etihad Stadium, and he hopes that player is available. In the middle of the field, Klopp has a plethora of different options.
When it comes to maintaining his discipline, the Argentine is walking a fine line. I really hope that he doesn’t stub his toe on that at the most inopportune moment.
