Don't dwell on the past: McAllister: We must improve on what we did poorly

Liverpool midfielder McAllister talked about the team's focus match against Manchester United in the Premier League during an interview, and hoped that the team would not dwell on past results, but look to the future and improve on areas where they were not doing well enough.
Manchester United midfielder Bruno Fernandes assisted Lisandro to score in the second half, giving Manchester United the lead. A few minutes later, Gakpo received a pass from McAllister and shot into the goal, helping Liverpool equalize the score.
Although Salah scored a penalty kick later in the game to help Liverpool overtake, Diallo scored for Manchester United near the end of the game. In the end, Liverpool was tied 2-2 by Manchester United at Anfield and failed to get all three points.
"I think the team is really disappointed," McAllister, 26, said in an interview. "This is not the result we wanted, but it is indeed a fair result. We didn't control the game as expected, so we can only accept this point and then move on."
"I think we weren't in the position we wanted to be in and we looked a bit impatient. We're not happy with our performance at all but it was important to get a point in the end and still be at the top of the table."
McAllister also pointed out, "I think the game became chaotic in the second half. We gave the opponent too many opportunities, and we also had the opportunity to score. However, as I said before, the result is fair. I think the team's mentality is very good, which is very important for a team like us, and we can equalize the score or even surpass the score. But when you lead 2-1, you must hold on to the result, but we can't do it."
After 3 wins and 2 draws in the last 5 rounds, Liverpool currently ranks first in the standings with 46 points, 6 points ahead of second-placed Arsenal. In addition, Liverpool will travel to Tottenham Hotspur in the first leg of the English League Cup semi-finals, and then will face Accrington Stanley in the third round of the English FA Cup, which is also an opportunity for Slaughter's team to win the championship.
McAllister continued, "We still have a lot of games to play and there is no time to dwell on the past. We must look to the future and improve on what we did not do well. We must remain positive and it is a day worth reflecting on, but we will continue to stay positive, which is crucial for the team."
