This season has been a tough ride for Liverpool given their form and injuries throughout the campaign.
Despite the mountains that have had to be climbed, Liverpool still find themselves in a race for top four.
The Reds are sat in fourth spot as it currently stands and a win this weekend would secure that.
Last night was a huge step in the clubs progress for Champions League football.
Liverpool cruised out 3-0 victors over Burnley thanks to a Man of the Match performance from defender Nat Phillips.
The 24-year-old has played a huge role in Liverpool’s season so far, and yesterday came up trumps with a goal and a clean sheet.
Following the game, The Athletic’s James Pearce made a great point over a key failure from the summer.
The journalist stated that Nat Phillips’ failed transfer to Swansea in the autumn was one of the club’s most important moments this season…
It is incredible to think that, given his impact this season, Liverpool may have been without Phillips.
He has been so important for the Reds and has grown massively over this campaign.
His previous loan at VfB Stuttgart during the 2019/20 season has set him up incredibly well.
Not only that, but he seems to be improving more each week and clearly responds well to instruction.
Playing alongside the likes of Fabinho and Ozan Kabak at times this season has also likely helped.
As Pearce states, there is no doubt that Phillips will be a part of Klopp’s plans for next season.
Phillips has grown to become Premier League standard and he looks like he is here to stay.
