Now then to all the EDS, and all the supporters of this site
It must be 6 years I've been visiting this amazing site, but never had the coggoolies to join,
Is it ok if I give my opinion on Phillips, well Ian anyway ha
If we never played I high line he be a sound, he's a Jamie carrager, if he played under benitez I reckon, he is Mr carrager,
It's just wrong time, what's do use think.

{Ed001's Note - I agree, but he is still a very good cover option.}

I agree. The key question is whether Nat is happy being a backup. If he is, then to me its a no brainer UNLESS funds need to be raised, in which case his price probably won't be higher than it currently is.

I would love him to stay, probably as 4th choice behind VVD, Gomez and Konate. Matip is a better defender for us, but he's hardly ever fit, so I would rank Nat as a better option than him due to availability.

If it were down to me, I would sell Matip to raise funds. I'm sure Matip is worth no less than Phillips, if not slightly more, despite his injuries. But as Ed002 pointed out a few days ago, Klopp has no intention of selling Matip.

If a good offer is made for him which suits all the lad should go and get first team football.

Agreed we have to move matip on, granted he is a good player when fit but that's a huge issue.
I would be quite happy with van dyke, gomez, konate and Nat as our main centre backs.
We got to get these players that are earning good wages and injured for large periods off the books, no use to us injured.

I think Klopp really likes Nat and appreciates him for his honest no frills endeavour and Nat will be told he has a place in the squad.

I would be happy with that as Nat will give blood sweat and tears for the shirt.

Thiago Mo Sadio Bobby and the rest will give us the magic.

There is a place in the squad for Nat and he has earned it with his efforts in helping us into third spot.

Nat needs to hang around so he can start picking up som medals next season.
