I’m not sure that’s the case, I think he just wants to fight, because he wants to be at that top level. It must be a bitter pill to swallow to say actually, I’m not good enough to play in that team. These guys are all highly competitive compared to the average person and most wouldn’t take that lying down. But you have to think, it’s not been every player that’s taken a year, just some - Stones, Ake, Cancelo, Rodri, Gundo, Bernardo, Mahrez, Grealish, you could probably put on that list. However, they all still played a fair amount. Rodri didn’t have the best first season, but he featured in 52 games. There’s a big difference with that and Phillips.

The problem what Phillips has got is that he is trying to dislodge the best defensive mid in the world by a country mile and it’s never going to happen . Don’t get me wrong I like Kalvin and was happy we got him but I haven’t seen nothing to suggest he will make it

I can't remember the other players, who had relatively quiet first season's, being shown as little trust as Pep has with Philips though?

He has mostly been played when we are several goals ahead for the closing minutes.

The likes of Zinc and Delph, while not 'top level' players seemed to get a lot more trust and game time from Pep than Philips.

After I said that, I then went on to read 30 pages of people shitting on Phillips purely because they are 'worried' he blocks us from signing Rice. Who we are in no apparant way even remotely linked with.

It reminded me of the Ake thread last year. And the Rodri thread a couple of yeara ago. Zin every year. etc

We may or may not be interested in Rice. But I don't buy the club are pushing any player out, and I think it is piss poor from folk on here.

Phillips seems to think this whole “City players often take a year to adapt” thing means he’s just guaranteed minutes next season and he’s going to be integral to the team. He needs to take the fucking hint, he isn’t even wanted here and won’t play if he stays.

Imagine him and Tommy Doyle both coming on as subs ,who would bust a gut and try and impress and give their all ,and who would stroll round loose the ball a few times and not break sweat ??
