Following Liverpool's draw at the Eithad Stadium against Manchester City, Reds' Argentine midfielder Alexis Mac Allister expressed his dissatisfaction not with the result or the refereeing, but rather with the unjustified playing time which proved to be a negative factor for him and his teammates before and during the game.
According to the Argentine midfielder's statements revealed by Anything Liverpool's account on the social network X, it is known that Macca was not entirely happy with the 12:30 pm kick-off time, as after having made a long trip from South America for FIFA matches, several of his teammates were exhausted during the meetings with the coaching staff about how they had to face this match of date 13.
The surprising thing about Mac Allister's statements is the fact that he pointed out that several players could not keep their eyes open due to fatigue, jet lag and an uncomfortable return trip to Merseyside. There are no names of the most tired players, but it is very likely that they are all those who play international matches from CONMEBOL, such as Darwin Nunez, Luis Diaz, Alisson Becker and Alexis Mac Allister himself.

These statements by the current world champion are not a justification for the final result obtained against Manchester City, being more a kind of complaint and indirect towards those who define the game schedules, understanding that such actions only manage to harm the performance of a club, as well as the show that despite not having disappointed, there were some moments in which the duel lacked more forcefulness.
This demanding situation with league fixtures after a FIFA match is nothing new for the Merseyside outfit, with Alexis Mac Allister being yet another victim of the Reds' injustices of being the team with the most early fixtures after extensive international activity.
