4 | Kalvin Phillips - 2022/23 Performances

[ElMago_DSilva]

No one can deny Kev, Gundo and Berny have all had poor to medium seasons form wise be it sitting deep or in a more advanced role.

Maybe it is time Philips was given a real chance as he can play deep or more forward and at present relying on the hope one of the other 3 hit form has been hamstringing our attacj I feel

Also if Pep is insisitng on 3 at the back and someone sitting along side rodri then Phillips over Lewis a full back needs to be considered

And this isb't a knock at Lewis who has beeen great.

The last time Phillips started he was genuinely awful v Southampton.

Didn't want the ball, hiding behind the opposition, looked off the pace and didn't show any authority at all.

I definitely wouldn't be starting him anytime soon.

Hes not the answer to any of our problems, was a huge "meh" signing for me

 

[oldius]

105m of PL football, yet 'fans' are throwing him to the wolves. It really is a nonsense- we have not had the time to judge him - he has not had the chance to prove himself - and he definitely hasn't had the opportunity to become familiar with teammates nor patterns of play. I cannot understand how or why supporters are saying negative things about him.

 

[Manc123]

Why not play him at side of rodri and play kev phil and jack behind haaland. that gives the front 4 licence to create and the back four the protection it needs.

 

[argyle]

Not good enough.

Our recruitment has been poor in parts over the last few years.

What top European club would sign someone like Phillips?

 

[SK14BLUE]

For what it’s worth I feel Phillips would be a great benefit to our midfield.

For what it’s worth I feel Phillips would be a great benefit to our midfield.

Can pass a ball forward that’s for sure and something we are severely lacking.

 

[Brad mcfc]

Don't give Pep any ideas to tinker :)

 

[LesBleuMiserable]

Has he got the hunger for battle after Pep body shamed him?

Don’t want to fat shame him but Pep has mentioned he has a good apetitie! Was noted post World Cup!

 

[Axel Freed]

Who knows what goes on behind the scenes but if he was deemed good enough today was the perfect game for him.

I don’t have high hopes for this lad
