Totally agree, that's a good summary, especially the lack of trust.

He's played 105 minutes of PL football for us with 3 games to go, an average of 3 minutes a game.

Of those 105 minutes, he got 35 at Bournemouth when we were 4-0 up, and 37 minutes at home to Leicester when we were 3-0 up, we conceded in both games after he came on.

So basically not trusted unless we already have the game won against a team near the bottom.

You are 100% correct. In both games he was given time, the games changed and not for the better. He demonstrated why he cannot start for us. He has had more than enough time to understand our game and I think he will be moved on. Lets hope he grabs the opportunity to get some playing time rather than sit grinning on the bench thinking about his inflated salary whilst Rodri runs himself into the ground. One of our few bad buys.

Sunday really summed it up for me and Phillips will be on his way in the summer.

Three up against a poor Everton side, the game has long since finished as a contest and we have a CL semi final against Real Madrid coming up on Wednesday. Rodri’s clearly tired and should come off but Phillips is only trusted with three minutes.

Three minutes. I’m not sure Pep could make it any more obvious.
 
Someone should have shown Pep this pic, not sure we would have bought him in the first place if he had seen it ;)

Lavia would get not far off the amount of minutes Phillips has this season. Not happening when the rest of the top 6 can offer him a starting spot straight away.

Phillips has played what less than three games total for us? Lavia/anyone else, would play more than that surely.
He's played well whenever i've seen him this season, so i don't agree that he could start for the rest of the top 6 but not spot minutes or games for Rodri when needed.

I'm not sure if he would come back anyway, but we're going to need someone reliable to back up Rodri.
