“Mixed feelings to be honest,” Mac Allister told Sky Sports post-match. “I love scoring, I love winning, so in that sense I think it’s a really good day. <\/p>\n
“But on the other hand, I don’t think we played very well. There’s plenty of things we need to improve, but it’s always nicer when you win.”<\/p>\n
On whether he believed Liverpool would get another chance after his first effort was ruled out, he said: “I thought I was going to get another one even before the throw-in. <\/p>\n
“I told Hugo [Ekitike] that this was going to be our goal and our situation. I don’t know if it was in that one or the next one, but I had another opportunity and I’m glad that it went in.”<\/p>\n
He later added to BBC Sport: “We need to analyse [the game] during the week but the first half wasn’t good at all. Positioning, intensity, pressing – nothing was good. Well, maybe how we defended our box, because we blocked some shots. <\/p>\n
“But it was not good and it was not our standards. In the second half, I wouldn’t say it was good, but it was a little bit better. We had some chances and the most important thing is that we won the game.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"“Mixed feelings to be honest,” Mac Allister told Sky Sports post-match. “I love scoring, I love winning, so…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":783279,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4100],"tags":[1050,1051,94,1039,1046,1041,1052,1054,1053,763,1045,1044,1040,1049,1042,1047,79,1043,16,15,1048],"class_list":{"0":"post-783278","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-football","8":"tag-alisson","9":"tag-firmino","10":"tag-football","11":"tag-homepage","12":"tag-klopp","13":"tag-lfc","14":"tag-lfc-news","15":"tag-lfctv","16":"tag-lfctv-go","17":"tag-liverpool-fc","18":"tag-liverpool-fc-match","19":"tag-liverpool-fc-news","20":"tag-liverpool-football-club","21":"tag-mane","22":"tag-reds","23":"tag-salah","24":"tag-sports","25":"tag-the-reds","26":"tag-uk","27":"tag-united-kingdom","28":"tag-van-dijk"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/116118977694757246","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/783278","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=783278"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/783278\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/783279"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=783278"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=783278"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=783278"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
