44 | Kalvin Phillips - 2025/26

[Gaz76]

Clearly taking Scott Carson's role,

 

[Quinny851]

So pep bringing him back to set him up for failure.

There's no way he can be any worse than the options we currently have playing there

 

[B\connellblue]

Clearly Guardiola has completely lost it now.

Clearly Guardiola has completely lost it now.

Why? Has he said that Kalvin is going to start instead of Rodri? Guaranteed him a minimum number of appearances? Proclaimed him as a vital cog in our attempt to win the title? Or not really done anything at all in regards to Phillips that warrants such a stupid comment?

 

[Kinkladze 1]

Surely he can’t be any worse than what we’ve got there already.

 

[Gorbachev]

We must be desperate.

 

[balotelli's back pocket]

If he was fit, there's a chance he could do a job at right back as a happy medium between Rico (super footballer, physically limited) and Nunes (good athlete, can't defend).

But is he actually anywhere near fitness?

Fuck it, start him against Huddersfield. Can always sub him off at half time and claim he's not fit if it's a disaster.

The last one.

 

[Ajm1985]

Hopefully he can make a meaningful contribution

 

[journolud]

Whatever the reason the club are keeping open the option to use a player we are paying the wages of having failed to secure a move during the transfer window due to being injured it would be better if they had run a poll amongst the fans rather than make a decision based on things we don't know much about.

Absolutely nothing to lose having him in the squad if we are paying his wages. Don't misunderstand me, I'm not optimistic he is going to make a great contribution but what if he does?

 

[Silvatoure21]

...while Echeverri goes out on loan, probably never to be seen again....
Sigh................

No doubt. Saw more from Echeverri in the fa cup final and the appearance in the cwc than Phillips has shown in a few years

 

[JOGAMIGMOG]

Seems mad how we binned off the current Premier League POTM and somehow end up with Kalvin Phillips in the squad. Football hey?

 

[cleavers]

Could yet turn out to be a good signing...

(Stop giggling at the back please)

Giggling ? Most of us are rolling about on the floor !

 

[jamesha]

The least he can do is work his nuts off in training and set an example showing that he takes his contractual obligations seriously. He may not get anywhere near the first team but he could earn respect from both himself and others by making a real effort.

[simon23]

we turned Delph into a left back ..can Pep work the ultimate miracle and turn Phillips into a footballer and a right back?!

 

[Dax777]

...while Echeverri goes out on loan, probably never to be seen again....
Sigh................

Kalvin is not in Echeveri's way

 

[Goater=Legend]

Or maybe he just needs to get to full fitness and maybe a carabao cup appearance so a club might decide to want him.

 

[eastmanc]

If he's willing to keep trying all power to him. The best thing to do is encourage any blue. John Stones was dead in the water a few years back and crawled it back

Was Jonny boy dead in the water?

 

[eastmanc]

So pep bringing him back to set him up for failure.

Not like you to be negative lad:-)
