Bobby Clark names Liverpool player he's learning most from | OneFootball

Liverpool youth academy graduate Bobby Clark has revealed he's learning his midfield trade from Alexis Mac Allister.

Thanks to the myriad of injuries Jurgen Klopp's side have had to contend with in recent weeks - the likes of Trent Alexander-Arnold, Mohamed Salah, Alisson Becker and Curtis Jones have all been out of action - 19-year-old Clark has been afforded plenty of minutes in the last few games, making his first Premier League start at the weekend.

Clark's first start proved to a memorable one for the youngster as the Reds secured a vital 1-0 win over Nottingham Forest courtesy of a 99th-minute header from substitute Darwin Nunez.

Speaking about the winning goal, Clark was keen to highlight the wonderful cross from Mac Allister in the build-up, stating the Argentina international is someone he has been learning a lot from since his breakthrough into the first-team.

"I always had the feeling we would do something with the top players we have got on the pitch, and Alexis with the calmness at the end and Darwin putting it in, it was top. Every day I'm learning off the other players, especially [Alexis] in my position and what he did at the end was special.

"It was a great way for it to end. Obviously I was grateful to get my first start in the Premier League. When I came off, things were out of my control but I knew something was coming and that late winner was top."

The young midfielder also revealed he was told on Friday he would be making his first league start for the club.

"It was yesterday [Friday] in training when we were doing walkthroughs for the game. I thought I was decent but could have done a lot more given what I know I can do, but it was alright," he added.

"I do feel as though I'm taking it in my stride, but it all comes from the gaffer and all the players. They fill you with confidence and let you do your thing. If you don't have a manager like that, it's going to be much harder."
