If it’s a weight related pun fest you’re after, I give you….. John Scales

I can’t believe you didn’t arrive at John Stones before John scales!

not even the quote in the article.
'Kalvin Phillips is not fit,' Guardiola said. 'He did not arrive in the best condition to train and play.'

- Article from 2017 saying that Thomas Christiansen made him cut down on unhealthy food and change his diet to trim down his body fat. Quotes from Phillips saying “you love a chocolate cake after a Sunday dinner but…” etc

- Just read another article from 2021 by Henry Winter where Phillips says he loved having takeaways regularly before Bielsa came in but then he lost a stone under Bielsa.
“I was a bit chunky,” he admits. “I wasn’t in the greatest of shape. The manager said to everyone, he wanted us to lose weight. We had to get the body fat down. He said we had to eat less food. I just ate some sweet potato wedges and some normal barbecue chicken. The way the chefs prepare it’s just a lot cleaner. Every week I’m reducing how much I eat. It’s hard work.
“If you come in on your weight target and your body fats are good then you can eat what you want. You can have ketchup! But say I went home and had a big fry-up for breakfast, came in here and I was overweight then the manager will look at me as if to say, ‘what are you doing?’ He just thinks whenever your weight’s low you play better.”
- Comments from 2021 by Andy Townsend where he says he had heard rumours that Phillips returned to training overweight after the Euros

- Now Pep saying he’s returned overweight after the World Cup
I wasn’t aware of Phillips long-term issue with food/eating unhealthily and to be frank… a total lack of professionalism. If Bielsa (and now Pep) can’t get him to eat properly when he’s not got club chefs cooking for him, then nobody will.

Pep wouldn't say such a thing in public if he's not super pissed off.
He's got until the new year to get himself fit and ready, there's two starts in the cup games waiting for him if he's available and he needs to start making a contribution after the best part of half the season injured.
Any comments about him being a waste are just moronic, he will prove his worth eventually. It's almost as if we didn't see the same comments about ake for 2 seasons.
