4 | Kalvin Phillips - 2022/23 Performances

[Damanino]

get Dinho back from the Copacabana right now.

 

[Crooked_rain]

Forgot he played for us

 

[ysmsa]

No more fucking about please!

There are players in that squad being left out for their understudies already.

The Cancelo move was meant to be a line in the sand, but it has backfired massively.

 

[urban genie]

Lmao! He would get absolutely slaughtered in this system.

what system?

no one on the pitch seems sure what it is

 

[The slaughtered lamb]

No one can deny Kev, Gundo and Berny have all had poor to medium seasons form wise be it sitting deep or in a more advanced role.

Maybe it is time Philips was given a real chance as he can play deep or more forward and at present relying on the hope one of the other 3 hit form has been hamstringing our attacj I feel

Also if Pep is insisitng on 3 at the back and someone sitting along side rodri then Phillips over Lewis a full back needs to be considered

And this isb't a knock at Lewis who has beeen great.

I’m not opposed to him making a contribution at some point but he isn’t the answer to whatever’s ailing us.

you more pissed than me ?

he was a joke buy in the first place.

Exactly my point!

 

[alexmcity]

Let's first qualify for the CL. On this form it's not guaranteed.

 

[bennyboy]

Not once have i thought Phillips will change things.
Weird signing.

 

[A57 the snake]

I’d say yes but … pep clearly doesn’t fancy him.
Jack Rodwell MK II I think sadly.

The last time Phillips started he was genuinely awful v Southampton.

Didn't want the ball, hiding behind the opposition, looked off the pace and didn't show any authority at all.

I definitely wouldn't be starting him anytime soon.

 

[bluemoon32]

Hes not the answer to any of our problems, was a huge "meh" signing for me

 

[oldius]

105m of PL football, yet 'fans' are throwing him to the wolves. It really is a nonsense- we have not had the time to judge him - he has not had the chance to prove himself - and he definitely hasn't had the opportunity to become familiar with teammates nor patterns of play. I cannot understand how or why supporters are saying negative things about him.

 

[Manc123]

Why not play him at side of rodri and play kev phil and jack behind haaland. that gives the front 4 licence to create and the back four the protection it needs.

 

[argyle]

Not good enough.

Our recruitment has been poor in parts over the last few years.

What top European club would sign someone like Phillips?

 

[SK14BLUE]

For what it’s worth I feel Phillips would be a great benefit to our midfield.

 

[willipp]

For what it’s worth I feel Phillips would be a great benefit to our midfield.

Can pass a ball forward that’s for sure and something we are severely lacking.

 

[Brad mcfc]

Don't give Pep any ideas to tinker :)

 

[LesBleuMiserable]

Has he got the hunger for battle after Pep body shamed him?

Don’t want to fat shame him but Pep has mentioned he has a good apetitie! Was noted post World Cup!

 

[Axel Freed]

Who knows what goes on behind the scenes but if he was deemed good enough today was the perfect game for him.

I don’t have high hopes for this lad
