I agree with you about his pace, he almost plays like an enforcer, great at the tackle or block but always looking for the back pass or sidewards.He's been excellent for a few seasons now, I just wish he had another yard of pace, but I'm probably being too picky.
He makes more passes into the final third than any other player in the leagueI agree with you about his pace, he almost plays like an enforcer, great at the tackle or block but always looking for the back pass or sidewards.
I like safe but sometimes he plays to safe.
When he was missing for the derby I thought we were in trouble but it turned out probably our best game this season and by getting it forward quickly we scored six.
Agree he definitely needs a rest but his back up hasn’t showed he can be relied on, at least not yet. We need Phillips fit and up to speed ASAP,Rodri's running on fumes. I dread to think what happens if gets injured. How we ended up with Kalvin Phillips as the only possible cover for Rodri is beyond me.
Phillips is fine. The real issue is that he doesn't stay healthy long enough. He won't be as good as Rodri, but he is a pretty solid DM when healthy... But that 'healthy' part is often the issueRodri's running on fumes. I dread to think what happens if gets injured. How we ended up with Kalvin Phillips as the only possible cover for Rodri is beyond me.
Give Phillips time for crying out loud.Rodri's running on fumes. I dread to think what happens if gets injured. How we ended up with Kalvin Phillips as the only possible cover for Rodri is beyond me.
Plenty of them touch's sideways and back though, not saying he's anything other than a great player but I think he's a bit safe.He makes more passes into the final third than any other player in the league
He is there to do that job,destroy/protect and keep it simple.......KDB and Gundo are the ones that shouldn't be safe and who usually slow our play down.Plenty of them touch's sideways and back though, not saying he's anything other than a great player but I think he's a bit safe.
