End of the day we are banging on about Championship level it’s better than Bundesliga 2 which Phillips has played all of 19 games at other than that 404 minutes of PL action with almost half of that in the last week.
The experience of the two isn’t worlds apart, i liked what Phillips did yesterday and I think he should be considered but with Oblak possibly now I reckon Klopp is keen on getting Hendo back in his midfield.
I think Fabinho will remain at centre back, whether he does Hendo and Fabinho one more time for City who knows.
I wonder if Preston offered him a 5 year contract at the start of the season, only for him to wonder, maybe I should wait to see if Liverpool needs me.
If he can help us out at the back, as needed, and thereby help us get another midfielder in the midfield, and the balance and depth of the side is improved, then excellent.
I’ve a suspicion that when all is said and done Davies will establish himself as our fourth choice central defender and will be viewed as solid-Klavan type business, for a pittance.
PS - the bigger fight will be in who gets the nod to be third choice with a view to looking higher. Will Kabak make the grade? Will we send him packing in summer for Car or Botman or another?
I like the way the whole thing is shaping up, and our options for the rest of the season are shored up. All of a sudden, after two good wins in London and reinforcing the defence, after almost settling for top four it feels like anything can happen again.
