‘He Isn’t Good Enough’ ‘Worst Player I’ve Ever Seen Pull On The Shirt’ Fans Not Impressed With 23 Year Old’s Display Last Night

‘He Isn’t Good Enough’ ‘Worst Player I’ve Ever Seen Pull On The Shirt’ Fans Not Impressed With 23 Year Old’s Display Last Night

Liverpool kept a clean sheet as they drew a blank against Newcastle last night but the performance of Nat Phillips’ has come under scrutiny from supporters.

The 23-year-old picked up a yellow card for an agricultural challenge in the second half and was caught out of position a number of times. Fans are calling on the club to find a replacement for the defender in January:

To be honest, the criticism that Phillips has received is a bit harsh. He was up against an experienced Premier League striker in Callum Wilson and he coped well with the Newcastle star, for the most part, with the exception of one moment in the first half that led to a shot on goal.

Considering he is the club’s fifth choice centre-half, he isn’t doing a bad job. The main reason the Reds didn’t win at St James’ Park yesterday evening was not down to the defence but the poor finishing at the opposite end of the pitch.
