Furthermore, Mac Allister appeared to support Klopp in his latest attack on the issue, as the midfield player acknowledged that yesterday’s match was difficult following the arduous journey back to England.

“Honestly, it’s so hard to play like this,” Mac Allister remarked. I couldn’t even open my eyes when we were discussing Man City and our preferred style of play in a meeting yesterday.

“With jet lag and a lengthy journey, it’s quite difficult, but that’s life.” We gave it our all because we enjoy playing football and we want to win.

In light of his most recent remarks on Liverpool’s kickoff times, Klopp has come under fire, but Mac Allister was correct to support his manager.

Naturally, the Reds have enough players to handle the volume of games they play and the current schedule of these fixtures.

However, Mac Allister’s backing demonstrates that the group is in agreement about this matter and that genuine reform is desired, therefore Klopp’s criticisms are more than justified.

The midfielder’s comments will also help Liverpool as a whole because they imply that steps may be taken to enhance player welfare.
