[Albion] Alexis Mac Allister - *** New Contract Until 2025 ***

[Swansman]

He has looked poor in his last two games he has come on. Keeps loosing the ball and can't pass to a team mate.

I wonder what is going on with him? I'm not knocking the player, but something don't look right with him.

Maybe he needs more minutes as he did start the season well. Maybe something going on in his personal life.

Hopefully he can get back to the player we know he can be.

What is going on is that he is 22 years old meaning that he wont perform well in every game he plays.

I love Alexis but today was shockingly bad. Let’s hope a one off. He should be pushing for a starting place.

It wasn't. He plays like this every other game. Good one week, total passenger the next.

Odd player.

He's probably just not good enough sadly.

He's neat and tidy, intelligent and has a pretty good shot on him

But

He's slow
Unadventurous
Slight
Shy
Sideways and boring

I'd add that as well as being just 22 he's not getting a lot of game time. It's hard to have a major impact if you're in and out of the team let alone if you're only playing 20 minutes here and there.

Shame he apparently(I haven't seen the game) played poorly when he came on, I think he's exactly the kind of player to help unlock a packed defence. Him, Maupay and Trossard usually link really well in small spaces.

Bad day at the office, he is far better than yesterday.

Moder or Sarmiento would have been a better switch in hindsight. We needed more directness, Mac was too passive when he came on.

It can’t help the lad being in and out of the team. Whilst I rate Potter highly, there is a bit of tinkerman about him that might just cause problems with a large squad of players with “fine margins” of difference between them.

 

[One Teddy Maybank]

He looked out of his depth on this occasion, unable to contribute in any positive way.

He did.

What I would say is that he’s never really had a proper run of games as a starter. Even AJ got some consecutive starts, before anyone writes him off I’d like to see MacAllister have the same opportunity.

 

[Icy Gull]

He looked very down when he walked back down the tunnel, eyes to the ground and clearly not happy

 

[Bob!]

He's wearing gloves. Never convinced by players wearing gloves. Except John Barnes.

and Tariq Lamptey?

AJ never started more than 2 games in a row under Potter, his best run was 4 in a row twice under Hughton.

Mac Allister's longest run of starts came last season when he started 6 in a row from the Newport FA Cup game to the Spurs game, he then missed the Liverpool game through a slight injury. He then started the next 5 of the next 6 games missing only the Leicester defeat in the FA Cup, this was arguably his best run of form for us too. This season he's not started more than 2 games in a row which has shown with his performances as he's not being given a chance to get a run of form going.

slight yes
shy? ,
the rest of your comments means you have have probably not seen him play , most fans like him because he is often the one pushing the ball forward and getting in th box..

i would hope they all did that - not a good display only Lamptey & Trossard played well

None looked happy most looked pissed off but it struck me that he looked particularly down

Passive is the word that I used to sum up yesterday's performance, particularly in the second half and, even more so, before we conceded. I think it's a tad harsh to burden Mac solely with that tag (and I know that's not what you are doing), when it's a tag that's better deployed collectively to the team (perhaps with the odd exception).

Started 10 in a row this spring - did little with it, unfortunately. No goals or assists despite mainly starting in the AMC role.

Pretty sure he will become a very good player at some point though.

Yes certainly others fell short yesterday too. Mac was wonderful at Leicester away in the cup, had that spark and impacted the game like we know he can.

None of that yesterday but was hopeful he could provide that when he came on.

Thanks useful detail, always felt like AJ had a longer run under CH.

I wouldn't be surprised if he tries to get a move in January.

Can't get any minutes in a team that is desperate for goals, sees Solly March get minutes ahead of him and seemingly has fallen behind Sarmiento now.

He hasn't been given a fair run in the team IMO and deserves a chance ahead of Gross, Lallana and Moder.
