The Curious Case of Nat Phillips Not Leaving Liverpool

The castaway defender has been a valuable asset this season due
to injuries.

Nat Phillips is a very interesting Liverpool player. Since the
injuries to just about every defender on Liverpool’s roster, the 23
year-old has become a valuable player for Jurgen Klopp. Last season
Phillips spent time on loan in Germany, coming back for just one
Liverpool game during the winter. Now he’s seen a string of Premier
League starts. He opened up to the about a chat he had with the
Liverpool manager.

“Nothing formal other than over the summer.” Said Phillips. “We
obviously didn’t really know what was happening then, that was the
last formal chat we had with regards to what my plan was and
obviously the situation was completely different then.

“Since then, we’ve had the odd exchange of words. If it looks
like I’m going to be playing at the weekend he’ll just ask me if I
feel that I’m ready.

“And like I said before, he just tells me to enjoy myself and
play my game like he knows that I can do.”

What a turn around for Phillips career.
