Liverpool morning headlines as Jurgen Klopp explains Alexis Mac Allister reaction and Andy Robertson makes statement after Wolves win Here are your Liverpool morning headlines for Sunday, September 17.

Jurgen Klopp reveals Alexis Mac Allister boss Jurgen Klopp believes that Alexis Mac Allister was relieved to be substituted at half-time against Wolverhampton Wanderers.

The Argentine endured a nightmare first half, giving the ball away on numerous occasions, with one instance resulting in an early booking.

There was more to it than the summer signing having a poor performance though. Mac Allister had only returned from international duty on Friday before being tasked with starting the early kick-off, and during the break even had to inhale oxygen in order to acclimatise to the high altitudes of Bolivia.

Therefore Klopp expressed this opinion, saying the 24-year-old was exhausted.

Andy Robertson makes half-time talks admission and explains ‘unfair’ take on team-mate. Andy Robertson refused to make excuses for the Reds’ first-half performance despite winning against Wolves.

Liverpool were forced to overcome a difficult first half in which they fell behind, with the Scotsman scoring the goal to put the visitors ahead late on.

Post-match the stand-in captain revealed part of what Klopp said to the group at half time to spark the result and took full responsibility for the first-half showing.

He also labelled a lack of plaudits for Mohamed Salah’s creative ability ‘unfair’.
