“It’s the first time I have experienced something like that,” Mac Allister said.
“But listen we know their quality. They are very good players, they just need to get that confidence because they have the personality and confidence to do very well and they showed it. We are very happy for them because they train very well and work very hard. It’s nice they have had the possibility to play and they have done very well.”
Both Clark and McConnell have been exceptional since they came into the side. The two of them more than hold their own at Wembley in the Carabao Cup final, and then put in solid performances against Southampton as well.
