Liverpool midfielder James McConnell admits he's pinching himself over his progress this season.
McConnell has made both his Premier League and Europa League debut this term.
It's been a bit crazy, hasn't it?!" McConnell told Liverpoolfc.com.
It's certainly not what I expected at all. I've had lots of opportunities and I'd like to think I've taken them all [the best] I could have but it has been a bit crazy, to be honest.
I've had some big moments that I dreamed about since I was a kid, so it's been amazing.
Being on the bench against Everton in the derby was great. I had a bit of a feeling I would be the day before because I made the squad, but then you are waiting to see if you make the bench.
I got told by one of the coaches that I would be on the bench and it was just a great feeling and I couldn't wait for it.
It was just an amazing experience and also to be part of a squad with a few players who hadn't played in a derby before was just so good to be around. It was a great experience."
