Like Mark said, he's being treated like a piece of shit.
I mean ok, it's a small sample of games we've seen and Klopp will know enough about him, but you're not telling me that he's a worse option than a midfielder in defense. Henderson is only there because he's going to bark orders, but that's not much good if our right back has wandered miles out of position, Thiago is leaving holes in midfield, Alisson is having episodes and Henderson is preoccupied babysitting a newbie.
Seems a bit daft to me. Phillips should at the very least be there instead of Kabak, until the lad settles in and proves his worth, like Robbo and many before him.
