"Florian Wirtz was excellent in the win over West Ham at the weekend and he impressed again here as the tricky German was a constant threat despite the lack of help from his teammates. The playmaker was rewarded for his tricky feet in the area and his effort deflected in to drag his side level late on. He unfortunately was not given the goal but there is no question he deserved it after beating three defenders in such a congested area."
"Alexis Mac Allister looks a shadow of the outstanding player he was last season. The Argentine still looks some distance short of full fitness but even considering, his usual eye for a pass looks to have deserted him. Even simple things seem trickier for Alexis this season and even when finding some rare space late in the first half, he headed wide from a presentable opportunity."
Liverpool laboured to a draw at home to Sunderland following another extremely disappointing performance. The result leaves the Reds without a home win in three matches and with only one league win since the first of November. Florian Wirtz excelled, providing a constant threat, beating three defenders and seeing a deflected effort that nearly earned him a goal. Curtis Jones made a positive impact off the bench, driving the side forward and initiating the equaliser by winning the ball back before finding Wirtz. Alexis Mac Allister has slipped below last season’s standards, appearing short of fitness, misplacing passes and squandering opportunities.
