Liverpool boss Klopp: Alexis' father Carlos has been excellent for him - and us

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp is delighted with the form of Alexis Mac Allister.

The Argentine was again impressive for Wednesday night's win against Chelsea.

Klopp said today: "Macca is the same in midfield as [Diogo Jota up front]. Like a football doctor. It is a wonderful story with his father, brothers and uncles, analysing games as a kid. I could not thank his father (Carlos) enough for that knowledge and education. Playing the position he plays the way he does is very very special. Super smart. And his contribution for all our play in possession is extremely important.

"We have had it in a few years during a time I was here when going well that everyone wants to write a book about an individual player They are all good, really good. That's why we are top of the table in the best league in the world at this moment in time.

"Are there any bad players in this team? No. The job is now about how good looking and fantastic they are it's really about us digging deep into the season and keep going, hold your breath, buckle up and go for it with these fantastic players. You want to see your potential, but consistency too. Go again, again and again."
