I'm surprised we didn't take Rossiter and took Phillips instead What type of midfielder is he? Is he really that good?
This is his player profile off the official site mate and yes he's that good
Adam Phillips is an England U16 international who made the centre midfield spot his own for the U18s in the 2013-14 season.
Born in Garstang, Lancashire, Liverpool signed him up from Blackburn Rovers as an U11 player.
Phillips has an excellent passing range, loves taking free-kicks and is also capable of scoring spectacular goals.
In the 2013-14 season he attended Rainhill school and played for Neil Critchley's U18s squad.
He's been chosen ahead of Rossiter for a few reasons.
He achieved all his personal targets last season, so this, along with his squad number is his reward.
I understand that Inglethorpe has requested that he keeps all his u21's together during pre season as they have their own tour and a very big season coming up with the Youth Champions League.
Rossiter has a big part to play in that but Phillips hasn't. He's only 16 so will stay with the u18's another season more than likely.
