Nicol was impressed, claiming that Mac Allister has arguably been Liverpool’s player of the season so far, and had been one of the very best against Palace this weekend.“I think it’s interesting that at the start of the season he was complaining that others had been offered contracts and he hadn’t. Quite frankly since that day he has arguably been Liverpool’s best player,” Nicol told ESPN.
