Kalvin Phillips

[bondsman]

We are still a slow burning team

Liverpools long ball game is not more intense than ours. To have the level of control we have the games and to move the ball the way we do, to play so high up the pitch and the demands in terms of movement I would argue is far more intense than Liverpool. Look at what every player says in terms of getting to grips with our system. Phillips difficulty is likely more to do with his ability to grasp the expectations in Peps system.I

It's time to go mate!

Waistcoat's announcing the England squad at 5pm today. It'll be interesting to see if Philips makes the squad.

If not, this could prompt a move to interested parties (Liverpool in particular), or a loan to get regular football.

He can't possible want to spend another 12 months on the bench? ¯⁠\⁠_⁠ಠ⁠_⁠ಠ⁠_⁠/⁠¯

If Maguire keeps getting called up then I imagine Phillips will... Although, even Maguire has a bigger role for United than Kalvin does at City.

For the effort that it took him, he is probably happy with three winners medals around his neck, plus a decent weekly wage.

With the arrival of Nunes, he’s sllipped even further down the Pepping order.

There's still room from Phillips I think. There's possibly room for one more CM/AM/Winger , especially if Palmer leaves and with KDB out for months.

Four winners medals round his neck and I'd say 150k a week is a bit better than decent.

It very much is. We rest with the ball. Liverpool always run out of steam these days, inhalers or not.

During Covid, when we were playing every 3 days, Pep said he had to come up with a system that allowed the players to run less or with less intensity.

Seems to have worked!
