4 | Kalvin Phillips - 2022/23 Performances

[Del_Bosque]

He’ll rightly get pelters for that

We’d be laughing our bollocks off at Shaw or Sancho

I don’t know whether this is a new quote or whether they’ve added the overweight bit in themselves, but anyway…

 

[City_Sean]

Pretty piss poor from Phillips. Has barely played and then isn't looking after himself. I thought out of the England contingent he'd have come back early ready to fight for his place.

 

[MCFC1993]

I'd give him some slack, it can be pretty depressing having a long term injury and trying to stay in peak condition, especially in the modern era where you have to stay in shape 24/7, for pretty much 52 weeks of the year, for 20+ years.

Admittedly at City's level there's not much room for these errors.

As long as Pep's had a word and he gets his head down now all should be good. He won't get many more of those with Pep though.

 

[jimharri]

If that's true, he's dropped a major bollock. Will Pep trust him now?

 

[Tricky_Trev]

Kalvin full hips

 

[FantasyIreland]

It was fairly clear what Pep was hinting at without the latest clarification.

No excuse for a professional athlete to be out of shape,it's unacceptable.

How overweight can you get in 10 days?

Anyway I guess I was wrong for assuming the best of Phillips, but also right that if someone’s overweight Pep will come out and say it.

Samir Nasri was pretty much sacked for it. And Nasri had already amply proven that he was a very skilful player. My guess is that Phillips is on probation. He has to prove himself to Pep, and if he does, this will just seem like a bad memory.

I wouldn't cut him any slack. He's a very well paid professional athlete and, I'm presuming, not behaving like one.
