4 | Kalvin Phillips - 2022/23 Performances

If he was sharing with Shaw he'd have lost weight, not a hope Shaw wouldn't eat all his food as well.

Shaw isn't allowed to share a room after he ate one of his roommates.

Was told by many on here when linked with him that he's not a crock because his injuries are all different. Yet here we are, constantly injured and/or too fucking lazy to get in shape. 27 years old, gets a big move to the winningest team in the country, has a personal trophy cabinet with a sole championship medal in it and this is his approach?....Mental, no wonder he wasn't even a vice captain at Leeds.

But he's not constantly injured, he had the shoulder surgery which should sort that side of it out. I'd guess some players struggle with the routine when not playing. Peps broadside, especially going public with it, is hopefully the wake-up call he's needed.

So that's what keeps happening to all these rag wonderkids...

When you don't play all season the odds on gaining weight are pretty high I'd guess. Nice to see Pep shoot a bow across his bows "either shape up or you won't be playing". The message will also sound through the rest of the squad too - I'm watching all of you !

He's done this before has Pep. Remember when Yaya was about a stone over and when he eventually came back into the team he looked like a stick, he'd never looked fitter. He did it with Sergio and Samir Nasri. You have to be firm with the players with regards to their weight.

Haha, good point.
And I am now going to set you the World's Shortest Essay: “Evaluate Benjamin Mendy's career at Manchester City Football Club.”

I blame the England setup in pairing players with roommates ? so unlucky for Phillips to be picked with Luke Shaw

If he was rooming with Shaw, he'd have come back 4 stone lighter.

So thats why he got no birthday cake.

Not ideal and hopefully he will take on board whatever ‘advice’ Pep has given him and everyone can move forward.
It’s been a disjointed season for the lad but he’s worth persevering with I think as he definitely has the ability to make it at City.
Some OTT reactions on here but well, this is BM.

I thought he was a lot younger than 27. Ugh.

6-year deals for him and Grealish.
