  "account": "Former Liverpool defender Stephen Warnock believes that Alexis Mac Allister only requires a suitable system to perform at his best. Warnock, who was a pundit on Wednesday's Champions League Match of the Day, stated that Mac Allister's significance to the club is already widely recognized due to his impressive attributes. The defender's potential new contract has been a topic of discussion among Liverpool fans recently, as they have already questioned why he hasn't received one alongside other players. However, Warnock emphasized that Mac Allister's commitment to discuss the contract issue and back it up with a strong performance is significant, but the ultimate decision will be made based on his overall season performances. The defender's qualities are well-known, including his World Cup and Premier League successes, but he needs to be placed in the right system to maximize his potential. Currently, Warnock noted that Liverpool's system is somewhat dysfunctional, but improvements are underway, which will benefit Mac Allister as he adapts to the new setup.",
