I didn't think he was a good signing off the bat. Said he was an average prem midfielder with a few pretty good qualities. That said, he's being criminally under utilised. If anyone can give an actual good argument as to why the no longer tracks back Gundogan should stay on the pitch at 1-0 up and under increasing pressure over bringing this lad on I'd love to hear it. He's a solid ball winner and actually fairly press resistant, from the outside it seems a no brainer, but the stubborn as he is bald Pep seems to know otherwise.
 
Agree. I'd keep him and get him on an aggressive programme pre season. The little we've seen has shown he is very good technically, he's just slower than Javi Garcia carrying Rodri around on his back.
I not really bothered with his lack of speed if we sign Bellingham in the summer

Not a bad option. He has the ability to play accurate balls for Haaland or switch play. Should see him v Bristol. But he needs sub minutes off the bench to get some game time sharpness. Looks like Pep either doesnt trust him or doesnt think he deserves them.

One things for sure, Rodri cant keep playing every minute.
 
Dont think we will see the best of Phillips this season but i do not doubt his quality , he has had a shit season injury wise and still hasnt had the chance to integrate into our team and tactics , he was deservedly England's player of the tournament at the euro's a couple of season ago. Quite sure he would be starting more games now if it wanst for his 3 month lay-off , i will not be judging his conribution until the end of next season.
 
Even he knows that will not be the senario, he's blown his chance with his attitude post injury.
I doubt it. I have no doubt that Pep is extremely demanding but I imagine he would also give you a chance. We will see.

He had his chance and he blew it, Pep does not like unprofessional attitudes and Phillips during and post WC seem to have that.
