“Play a strong team, get the players understanding each other’s game, and then you take that from one game to the next”.
First-team coach McAllister, who returned to the club as part of Brendan Rodgers’ new-look backroom staff this summer, admits it’s been a hard period with supporters growing increasingly restless.

It is however understood that Ancelotti would need to be totally convinced of the potential and quality of the present Liverpool team while the Italian himself has spoken glowingly of the club in the past.
“When heat is on you get even closer. They are not going to come here and roll over”. We created chances and passed it better.
Changes are likely but McAllister suggested these may be kept to a minimum.
