Kalvin Phillips

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!

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

I understand all of that but it doesn't give fans the right to be personally insulting about him or question his professionalism. Take it out on whoever sanctioned his purchase if you must. His injury record was pretty well known at the time.
 
He did fine, to be critical he didnt show enough for the ball from the cbs. i noticed akanji and dias went from 1/2 touch passes to pretty much standing with the ball after kps introduction. i appreciate there is more factors than just one player however.
looking forward to seeing what nunes has to offer

Totally agree.
Abuse is uncalled for.
Seems a thoroughly nice lad.
 
that was a solid cameo, those floating passes were very good. maybe he can be used in more advanced position, maybe as an 8
