4 | Kalvin Phillips - 2022/23 Performances

[TFC]

Look on the bright side - at least we know who ate all the pies now.

He is a little overweight, way to early to be writing him off as a crock.
It took Gundogan well over a year till he was playing regularly and now is barely ever injured.

You`ve just beaten me to it TFC but I was also going to add "you fat bastard, you fat bastard, you ate all the pies".

6-year deals for him and Grealish.

Big Mac Meal deals.

It's incredibly frustrating and I can understand Pep's anger. Kalvin needs to be spotless from now on, because Lavia is right there as an option for us.

Walker , Foden and Grealish ( among others) have made stupid unprofessional decisions, as long as he eats well from now gets fit and stays fit he will help us alot this season.

Good grief, some of the comments here. KP looks the same. He can't have been "overweight" by more than a pound or two, the kind of thing that different scales can be misleading about. Maybe he was weighing himself on his home scales and the medical scales at City revealed he'd gone slightly over his target.

Pep got in a snit (possibly due to frustration around hiw much Phillips has been unavailable so far) and threw a player under the bus. I realise everything St Pep says or does is beyond reproach for many City fans but he's far from perfect. I think this public humiliation was entirely the wrong approach and dealing with it privately would have been far preferable for all concerned.

Steak and kidney or festive mince pies perhaps-maybe not in Q though…?

 

[Protein Junkie]

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

Thinking the same thing. He’s just spent a month or so going to brekkie with Shaw every day.

Our run of games in January is insane, we need every player possible available to step up & help out.

I don't think any manager would do it for a one-off situation (well maybe Mourinho). The way Pep flagged it seemed as if it is a recurring theme. Personally, I think Phillips is in the last chance saloon. Where does Bellingham fit in? This may be your answer.
