Craig Dawson lavished praise on the Argentine midfielder on Saturday football for Sky Sportscalling him a “sensational” and “special” player.
“He has been the difference right now. I mean the goal (against Sheff United)… wow, that technique, and the precision, the strength and the determination,” Dawson said.

Mac Allister, key for Liverpool-Man Utd
The Reds paid £35million up north to sign Mac Allister from Brighton last summer, and he has proven to be one of the key players for Jurgen Klopp.
Mac Allister loved to play in an advanced role, in the number eight role, but Klopp used him mainly in the midfield role, where he was equally brilliant.
It will be interesting to see how Liverpool prepare for this match. With Endo returning, Mac Allister should fill an advanced role in which he has been so effective. Curtis Jones could come into the side, but Klopp will probably keep the winning combination and use Dominik Szoboszlai in midfield.
