Jurgen Klopp hails Liverpool “beast” who ‘played three positions’ against Chelsea

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp was full of praise for the impact that new Reds signings Alexis MacAllister and Dominik Szoboszlai made on their debut against Chelsea

Jurgen Klopp has hailed the impact of his new Liverpool signing Alexis MacAllister and Dominik Szoboszlai – whom he claims played in three positions against Chelsea.

A pulsating opening day encounter ended 1-1 at Stamford Bridge after Luis Diaz’s early goal for the Reds was cancelled out by debutant Axel Disasi’s equaliser for the hosts. Mohamed Salah and Ben Chilwell both had goals disallowed for offside in an end-to-end first half as each side was frustrated.

While most of the attention was on the home side under new boss Mauricio Pochettino and multiple debutants following another transfer window of mass change, there was a new-look Liverpool midfield headed by MacAllister and Szoboszlai.

Jordan Henderson and Fabinho were both sold to Saudi Arabia, following the exits of James Milner, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Naby Keita as free agents. Those departures have left the Reds short on midfield options.
