Kalvin Phillips

Every subs must be approved by Pep even if he didn't physically in there so if someone implying just because Lillo is the one that give him a chance to play and Pep will not give Philips chance if he actually in sidelines then you will be dead wrong on that.
 
Occam's Razor: The simplest explanation is the right one..

We don't want Cancelo type negativity in our squad.. so have a few minutes in a game that's already over!
 
Could be wrong but I took it that yesterday every player has had some minutes before the international break ,he did nothing wrong yesterday so no complaints from me
 
I’ve been very critical of Phillips the last few months and I know the game was done and dusted when he came on but I thought he played well when he came on. So like it or lump it he’s here until January so hopefully he can turn things around and we will all want him to stay come January.

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?

It looked like he was placed himself between two of their players and then Bernardo dropped back into space to receive the ball.

Absolutely zero to suggest that Kalvin Phillips has a questionable character or is likely to create a negative atmosphere. Despite having had a difficult 12 months he's never shown himself to be anything other a pretty positive guy who is working hard to get his opportunity. Even when Pep threw him under the bus by publicly discussing his weight, he put on a brave face about it. Also speaks volumes that the club haven't tried to force him out despite having seemingly decided they might not have too much use for him after all.

Seems to be a small section of our fanbase who are frustrated that this signing hasn't worked out so far and their way of dealing with that is to try and smear his character or question his professionalism. Personally think any frustrations surrounding this situation are probably best aimed at those responsible for the signing rather than the player himself. Or even better, why are people so arsed about it anyway? His presence inside the club has literally no impact on anyone's life outside of it.

The thing bothering a lot of City supporters about KP is that he was ostensibly brought in to take the stress off Rodri. Because KP hasn't worked out so far, it leaves the huge burden of playing 50-60 games still on Rodri's shoulders while we have an extra squad space and a wage taken up.
It's as much concern for Rodri's long term fitness and what impact an injury would have on our season as it is frustration for KP not making the grade.
 
He’s contract is worth 47 million over 6 years he ain’t going nowhere I wouldn’t mind sitting on the bench for a third of that
