Liverpool fans react to Ben Davies and Nat Phillips being made available

Liverpool‘s season of adversity continued on Thursday evening when the Reds were beaten for the fifth consecutive match at the previously impenetrable Anfield.

Ahead of the clash with Chelsea, manager Jurgen Klopp confirmed Nathaniel Phillips had suffered a knock that ruled him out of the match – joining a long-list of defensive absentees in the process.

Here’s the pick…
