Kalvin Phillips

Or trust. Pep is fast becoming a manager who lacks trust in our backup players. Hence KDB playing the last two months with a hamstring problem. Hopefully Foden has given him a little more faith in having trust in them
Pep trusts Phillips every day in training and can clearly see that he is not good enough for whatever reason.
I understand it when fans want Phillips to be 'given a chance' but if he looked comfortable Monday - Friday behind closed doors then he'd get a game on Saturday. Its obvious that he can't do what Pep needs him to do.
When Rodri gave the ball away v Newcastle in the last 10 minutes and Gvardiol titied it up, it was Rodri's first mistake of that nature for about a dozen games. From what little we have seen of Phillips, he would get caught like that 2 or 3 times every game and against lesser sides.
Time for the 'Yorkshire Pirlo' (!!) to shuffle on and best of luck to him, no hard feelings. The standards Pep has established at City are incredible and we need to understand that.
