Yeah let's condemn him based on his performance in a nations league game managed by a mediocre manager where the players are all desperate to get on their hols.

I haven't really seen much of Phillips as I don't watch Leeds unless they are playing us, but it's a bit unfair to judge him on last night's game as the whole team were a fucking shambles.
Obviously if we are after him then Pep sees something in him that makes him feel he would be a good fit.
The downside to buying English players is the price..they are always sold at a premium.

no doubt further down the line than this as leeds are already buying midfielders.

I'm not a fan of his by any stretch but you're spot on there. I'd guess certain posters will think similar of Stones, Walker, Sterling & Grealish after the last 4 games.Yeah let's condemn him based on his performance in a nations league game managed by a mediocre manager where the players are all desperate to get on their hols.

There is a site called FotMob that do player ratings in running based on their overall contribution.
While Phillips did not score well he didn’t have the lowest mark on the England team in fact 3 players were below him.
The lowest of all was a certain Kyle Walker the very same player that some BlueMooners think is currently irreplaceable.
Now I am neither for or against Phillips but it’s dangerous to read too much into one performance where the whole team played badly.
If we were looking to point the finger it could be just too many games for players that need a break.
My own opinion is that Southgate has been the beneficiary of a lot of lucky draws and has actually underachieved given the players at his disposal.

Hay i think is extremely reliable with leeds news and i imagine this is now the process to prepare the leeds fan for phillips leaving.
Di Marzio claiming documents have been exchanged with Bayern for Roca.no doubt further down the line than this as leeds are already buying midfielders.
