This is one of those takes that just gets repeated over and over again until it’s decided its true.

In pre season Macalister was playing as one of the 8’s but really central, more central than I’ve seen one of our mids play that position. Then because of how the transfer window goes he has been asked to play at 6. A notoriously hard job for us with no pre season there and with a completely new midfield set up.

So when Macalister gets caught out against Bournmouth at Anfield or Brighton away is it because he is unable to play that position ? Or because the set up of the midfield is not set up correctly to build out. Its very easy for shite pundits the blame individuals for system problems.

Macalister has played well all things considered and I fully expect him to improve. The Forest game the weekend showed that.

We dont need a midfield destroyer, we need someone there who will help us move the ball quickly and help us break down low blocks.
