Hello everyone, welcome to Redmen Bitesize. It's Chris Pajak and it's Thursday, the 29th of October. The morning, very much after the night before, my word, what a stressful evening that was.

I was on the watch run last night to not an Anfield, which was a little bit weird and I'm absolutely gutted that I missed it in the scenes after the win. And yeah, just Joe Gomez, just Joe Gomez, every day Joe Gomez, big thank you to him. And no Joe, it doesn't count. It doesn't count at all, but it does count in our hearts, which is where it matters. You scored a penalty that ended up being the deciding penalty from a Liverpool point of view, obviously for Farnanox went over the bar, but just absolutely brilliant to see him slot that penalty away with some confidence. The confidence, definitely none of a man who hasn't scored in the 11 years he's been at Liverpool, but very much the confidence of a number nine who is in loads of good form. But yeah, just brilliant to knock them out. We'll talk a little bit about the Carabao Cup later on. We'll also talk Finn Jeltsch, Ronald Araujo and Alexis Mac Allister on today's show. So we'll start with Alexis Mac Allister. It was only days ago that Switzerland Sky Sports reporter Sasha Tavoliere wrote, Liverpool currently have no plans to offer MacAllister a new contract. Yet now, according to multiple sources, Liverpool are reportedly preparing a contract offer for Alexis MacAllister with the club to open talks amid interest from Manchester City and that letter called Madrid. It is down to his improved performances. Obviously, last season, MacAllister knows that they went there. There was a plethora of reasons why that could be. The former, the side being one, the loss of Diogo Jota being another in my eyes. The fact that he had played so many minutes over the previous seasons, obviously, I think will have impacted that as well.

I think the World Cup was a really good thing for MacAllister. He gets to go away, tries to defend that World Cup, isn't able to do it in the end, but gets his form back, plays with a confidence in a side that was winning as opposed to a side that was losing a lot last season at Liverpool. We obviously know that he was very, very sad in his words at not being offered a new contract in the summer when the likes of Dominic Subosla and Gravenbeek were offered contracts, not necessarily in the summer, but big, improved deals. So Wim Wins Ismael Mahoud said, Liverpool will open talks with Alexis Mac Allister and prepare a new contract renewal offer, which is great.

Ismael has previously shared exclusive from the players' agent and father, Carlos Mac Allister, so there should be some weight in that. But the interest does come, as I say, because Manchester City and Atletico Madrid are circling and keeping an eye on the Argentine situation. I doubt he would personally join Manchester City for obvious reasons. I don't know what league they're going to be in. And I'm sure having fought tooth and nail with everything he's got to be better than Manchester City, I can't imagine that he'd go there.

Spain, Atletico Madrid, I could see him playing in Spain. I'll be honest with you, it wouldn't be at that club from Madrid. It would be at the other one. I know that they have tried to change the style of play at Atletico Madrid, but I'm not sure it particularly suits Alexis Mac Allister. But anyway, we'll continue with the reports and these are the quotes. Contrary to all the reports currently circulating in sports circles, we have previously confirmed that the Reds' management had no intention of making a new offer at the moment. We can exclusively confirm that there is light at the end of the tunnel regarding Liverpool's contract with Mac Allister. The club's management is set to take concrete action and present its long-awaited move, a move that has not yet been publicly announced.
