Would be amazed if Phillips starts, absolutely amazed.

Not sure what is the real story but Pep doesn't even bring him on as a sub.

Need to rest Phillips here imo.

He isn’t trusted right now, and to just bring him in today would be crazy. It could happen with Pep but can’t see it.

This is not the game to mess around.

Rodri will start imo.

Wrong. If that was true we wouldn’t have bought him.

Rodri plays for height vs DCL and Tarkowski etc. They will look to score through set pieces Dyche style

 

[LesBleuMiserable]

Yep.. for whatever reason he doesn’t seem to trust him at all

Not sure why because there is a player there and far better than what Everton have. Is Pep still pissed that Phillips was competing for the weight gain with Shaw?

Gonna be a "Scousletico" in terms of shithousery and bad vibes.

Phillips is a good player, done it for Leeds & England. Just hasn’t worked out with us yet. It’s concerning because even those that say about ‘first season syndrome under Pep’, those previously played far more than Phillips is right now. It’s a genuine concern how slow and more worrying how confused he looks with his positioning when he gets on.

Let’s hope he improves asap.
