Kalvin Phillips

[SK14BLUE]

Give Phillips a run of at least ten games. Then judge him. He’s been unfairly ridiculed by some on here. Definitely a player in him, and god forbid if we do get an injury crisis we may need him.

You’re right, no one wants him to fail. And I’m of the belief that if he had a brain, was well advised, or had professional pride he would leave.

But for you to say “the lad has to earn his incredible wage” - well that bit is nonsense. If he isn’t being played he doesn’t have much choice, and will never meet your expectations of earning his wage. If it comes to light he doesn’t train hard, then yeah. But ultimately if he is working his arse off but isn’t getting picked then we can’t knock him - he just isn’t good enough.

He can play football,he showed that at Leeds and he has shown it for England,he has plenty of ability to do a job for us in games of lesser importance and yet Pep has chosen to leave him on the bench and bring on square pegs instead.......so draw your own conclusions as to why he isn't getting a game here.

I think it probably is something more than ability, but we don’t know. The lack of game time is remarkable. I think he was toast as soon as Pep called him overweight.
But a poor attitude in training normally ends up getting leaked, and there has been no rumour of that as far as I’m aware.

So from what I’m seeing Pep just thinks he’s shit.

his main problem is confidence, by only getting short time per game the pressure is on to do something. Give him some cup time and a whole game see how he does.

That's a Good one. If you give him a run of 10 games you can kiss goodbye to any trophy this Season. Whether he's a decent player or not, (which I don't think he is) he is and has been completely useless to us. A dreadful signing that were going to have to write off.

According to Baghead he and Henderson are the only English top level 'pivots', if that's the case I think he should be relieved ;)

I posed the same question to a poster earlier in the thread. In fact, I inferred it was Rodri's place he would be taking. They didn't respond.

Rodri could do with a 10 game break tbf..!

Written off after 1 injury hit, transitionary season. Judge him in May

It'll be difficult if he doesn't get on the pitch, which with Nunes signing he probably won't.

Baghead?

He's been fit for nigh on 10 months now. That excuse wore thin a long time ago.

Should probably close this thread.

Should probably close this thread.

I wish they would. It's the same arguments being made time and time again. The lad has decided to stay and fight for his place (some need to get over it). Future comments should be against any performances going forward

That’s what I mean, window is closed so discussing his future elsewhere is pointless.

Theres a performance thread with hundred of posts discussing the very same thing. That should be closed too and opened only when he plays.

 

[loio]

I see him.

 

[thereWasATime]

hmm, seems to have improved compared to last season. Still seems to be hiding a bit but loved his run breaking away. Is it going to be a redemption for him?

 

[Kamaro011]

Did good enough for last few minutes.
