No Phillips or Shaqiri in tonight's squad. Moves getting closer I wonder?

Any update on Robs injury. Big loss if he is out for a long period.

{Ed025's Note - not yet jack..

Neil Jones has mentioned that they may be on the way out, and as a result Liverpool have decided not to risk them. However he has also said that nothing is close yet.

Hope we move them on - as Shaq career has stagnated and Phillips will go the same way of he stays as 5th choice.

Phillips won’t be 5th choice though, as Gomez and matip are consistent sick notes and we’re yet to see if konate is injury prone or not. VVD coming off a big injury as well, letting Phillips go over matip is extremely baffling to me. I know matip is the better player, but he’ll play less than a quarter of the season, what’s the point. Phillips earned his stripes and we reward him by letting him go. We even hesitated to play him in the first place over the likes of Rhys Williams, these are the times I question the decisions made, because they don’t seem to have any logic involved from an outsiders perspective.

Kman - i understand your thinking. However i don't think Phillips wants to stay and be 5th choice and wait for Matip to get injured (which he most likely will) as then Konate or Gomez is likely to take the starting role, then you need Gomez to get injured and Konate will take the starting role and so forth.

therefore Phillips would need at least 2 of the starters to get injured to be first backup let alone start games and at his age and the season he just had, he probably feels it is the right time to move on, as he will have better suitors then if he stays a year as 4th/ 5th choice and hardly play as most teams will forget he even exists.

Kman92, and what happens to Phillips if these two players actually stay fit or don’t miss that much time? You are aware that Phillips will only get a chance to play if both players are injured, right? Sorry, that is illogical, IMO.

There is simply no path for Phillips at LFC right now and it is the club’s job to do what is best for its players and do right by them. Phillips has earned the right to ply his trade in the PL at another PL club and the club should grant him his wish if that is what he wants, sick notes or not.
