Kalvin Phillips

[ninjamonkey]

112 pages before he makes his first appearance of thr season. Has to be some kind of record that.

When I saw Bernardo come on for Rodri I thought that was telling and the end of him so was pleasantly surprised to see him come on not long after, seemed confident in himself in the little time he was on, that's key. A few cup starts and getting minutes to see out games should be given to him in yhe coming weeks, upto him to show he's more than adept at doing that job, if he does he can expect minutes as rodri will be one of the first names we look to rest when games are won if we have a capable backup.

glad to see him on & he looked good

Did what he should be doing. Encouraging in the sense it’s better than what he’s shown in the past but still, it was him doing the basics.

Hopefully something for him to build on.

One good thing: he doesn’t just stand still when he passes the ball anymore!!!

Good cameo and looked a different player. Bodes well

Only a few mins but maybe it’s WFH Pep offering him an olive branch.

He did really well, hopefully now he’s staying at least for now this is a positive sign.

I have noticed that Kalvin gravitated close to an apponent player when we have possession. He doesn't try to find space.
Now, I'm not saying I know how he is instructed to play, but glueing himself to an apponent when we have the ball seems counterproductive.
Shirley he needs to be finding space to make himself available to receive a pass?

Thought he looked a different player today. Up for it & moved forward with ball. So glad he didn’t go to dippers

I’ve criticised him so I must praise him, good cameo. Progressed the ball which is what we want to see - good man. Take it forward - attack when we can.

Think he will appreciate the support we gave him. It was good compared with some previous comments on here !!!

Glad he stayed. A good squad player who can make a difference for us.

Nice to see him get some minutes today. Didn't really put a foot wrong which should do his confidence the world of good.
