[Nightmare Walking]

He's our best player. He's got to play where Alvarez is playing.

Then where does Alvarez play?

Then where does Alvarez play?

On the bench for me.

thought Alvarez offered a lot of energy. will only get better

 

[CC1]

Good, can't get injured if you don't play

Thought he hurt his back today - was hoping he wouldn't be able to play for England and will be back for our next game fully fit

 

[Saddleworth2]

No doubt the gormless idiot Southgate will now bench him for the 2 England games

Haven’t you heard? Maddison is the new saviour.

He does and he will get plenty of games over the season. I just think we are wasting Phil and we would be a better team with him in that central role.

This is going to be Phil's season , we need to play him central , similar to position Merlin played for us , my only worry is the lack of protection from officials , Fulham were chopping away at him and getting away with it.

 

[WNRH]

It’s starting to annoy me now how many times he is ignored in between the lines.

I’m not sure whether its not the game plan to play balls like that or whether players just don’t trust him but he finds himself in pockets where he can either retain the ball or do his trademark spin and he is ignored most often than not.

I love watching him play and can see he gets frustrated at times.

Phil's in a very special position right now where he can seize the moment and make this team his, with Kev out. He has it in him.
