South America have all their top talent drained by the bright lights (ahem, big money) of Europe. This captures it pretty well:

Just checked this thread to see if there was an official verdict now we've seen him on the pitch. Guess it's on the match thread 
I thought he looked quite good, got in the spaces and didn't look out of place at all.

Where have you seen this reported?

Ah, okay - thanks. I checked all the official sources and didn't see anything.
I believe Brian Owen's source for much of his Alexis Mac Allister reporting is a TyC journalist.

Good article thanks.
One of the links in the article is to this one which lists out 332 deaths at football games in Argentina. Quite a few are fans being shot, and in their 20s of the more recent deaths, one assumes by opposition fans. Puts the Haha meat pie saga into perspective.
No wonder anyone who can get out, does.

I'm hoping young Alexis hasn't been left to self-isolate on his own after only recently having moved from Argentina.
Have there been any social media updates on his situation? Is he still in Sussex? Does he have friends or family with him?
I hope the lad is okay. It's not an ideal time for him to try and cope with home sickness.

Been wondering the same. Poor lad, a long way from home and cannot really integrate into his new surroundings or team mates.

Looking at the photo above, can you believe that a player in an Argentina number 10 shirt is ours?
Seriously?
If we can start next season in the Premier League with Alexis MacAllister and Ben White in our squad I will be seriously excited.

I see from Insta Maty Ryan has gone back to Australia so presumably he's gone home too

I'll be excited just to see some football. Rest is detail.
On today’s showing (dreadful delivery over and over again) I think you might be right.

The little feint to set himself into position to make the pass. Really excited by him.

Cracking performance today, excellent touch to help setup the winner. Then helping the defence with a good tackle to stop Arsenal in their tracks right on the final whistle.
