Was there really? He was going to be a decent back-up to Rodri at best. Now i'm wondering if we can even afford to rest Rodri against Sheffield United.

The likes of Grealish and Rodri took a long time to adapt. But they were never liabilities the way Phillips is. I think there is a serious chance we cut our losses.

Put Bernardo in there if Rod rested for the semi

The problem is he really is jsut not elite at anything. All our new signings struggle their first season, but all of them showed 2 or 3 aspects where they were elite: Rodri (positioning, passing, shooting), Bernardo (dribbling, energy, tactical intelligence), Ake (1v1, velocity, jumping/heading), Gundogan (running from behind, quick combinations, reading passes from the opponents), Grealish (keeping the ball, drawing fouls, dribbling), even Gomez (good crosses, good link up play, decent shooting). Kalvin is just bang average in pretty much everything. Low energy, low effort, average long passes, bad tactical awareness and positioning, bad controls, he has good shooting though, but that's it.

They also played games because they were good enough to slot in. This guy isn’t good enough and that’s why he isn’t playing. Hopefully Pep watched that and won’t play him at Wembley because frankly he neither deserves or is good enough to start that game.
 
Shite and doesn't even seem to be bridging the gap between where he is, and what would be acceptable for a back up to Rodri
