Jamie Carragher says Liverpool have an ‘outstanding’ player in their ranks, ‘brilliant’ last night
Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher has waxed lyrical about Nathaniel Phillips following his “brilliant” Champions League performance on Wednesday night.
The 24-year-old began the season as a fringe player at best, but Jurgen Klopp drafted him into first-team action amid a crisis at centre-back.
Phillips has grown into the role, putting in a number of great performances over the past few months, and was in inspired form against Real Madrid at Anfield.
Sadly, Liverpool were unable to overturn a 3-1 deficit, playing out a goalless draw in a game which saw them miss several gilt-edged chances.
But Phillips was great once again – bar one slip-up against Karim Benzema, he was assured, confident, and strong in the air.
Carragher was impressed with the £ man’s efforts, speaking highly of him on CBS Sport on Paramount+ ().
“I thought he (Phillips) was brilliant,” he said. “People talk about the big problems at the back.
“I think Phillips has been outstanding since he has come in or certainly done a lot better than people expected.”
It’s been a difficult season for Liverpool but the Reds academy graduate has certainly been one of the main positives from this campaign.
