Nat Phillips

[Doc_Piptorious]

Yeah you're right he did, I just have a memory of Williams starting a couple of league games as well. Maybe we were still trying to figure things out, it's been a difficult experiment.

If Henderson stayed fit I think I'd be really positive about the end of the season. I still have hope, I just think losing him on top of everything else is a huge blow.

Him being fit and Fabinho being fit and in the centre would have me being more confident as well.

I see Alisson, Gomez, VVD, Henderson and Fabinho as being the foundation upon which the team is built now.

We have other world class players like Salah, but as we have seen the past few month, take out our solid core and even someone as lethal as Salah cannot cover up how soft we are through the centre.

Seem to recall that Klopp used Phillips for some PL games and Williams more for the CL and cup games.

Phillips wasn’t in the original CL squad hence not being picked - something to do with their being no room as we didn’t plan for the 5 lads ahead of him in the pecking order getting injured

[Slinky Skills]

VVD is so good you could play me alongside him and have me not look a total clogger.

He's not that good mate!

[Fosterbloke]

He's better than Harry Maguire. A backhanded compliment perhaps but true nonetheless.

[Paul12]

He's intelligent too

So he'll be useful in the Trivial Pursuit quiz on the coach back from away games!

Me or Phillips?

At his age and given that he’s shown enough over the last six months to be a capable PL defender, he’s probably going to want to move on in the summer.

If he’s happy being fourth choice here then I’m happy with that, providing we still sign a top-quality CB to partner Virg. Exceeded all of our expectations.

[labourRed]

Yeah. With hindsight it was ridiculous he wasn't trusted earlier on. He's not done much wrong and it's been said quite a few times in match threads and what not.

And he reads a ball in the air better than Gomez ever did.

[danperkins]

Outstanding commited display

[Buzzo]

Superb tonight.

Not trusting him sooner may be one of Klopps biggest mistakes for us.

[Irishnev]

He’s an old style CB and with a proper shield in front of him he looked v solid, great headers and interceptions. Kabak v good beside him

[Rich]

Did really well, think he reads the game pretty well. Just his pace which sets him back really.

Happy to see him do so well

[Slinky Skills]

Yep, wish he'd just gone with him from the offset and we might not have been in this mess in the first place.
