Kalvin Phillips

I'm not slagging him off.
I said he was a good player.
He was a squad player with a great Madrid team but never played for them in a Champions league final.

Gotcha,,,

Phillips was his usual self - clumsy in possession, slow of thought and deed and just generally not up to scratch. I’d sooner have brought Rico on

Looking closely at his play when he came on…….looks lost and just aimlessly wandering around

If he plays against arsenal I'd snap your hand off for a draw

Nunes and Kovacic have shown what Phillips is, ie complexly out of his depth.

He is simply not good enough, is always chasing the ball, his reading of the game is not good, shame because his passing ability is top quality.

Not a bad cameo. Some really good runs but also some silly boots up the pitch to nobody.

Phillips had a good game. Yes he made a few errors but he got us up the pitch numerous times when our players were tiring. Not being in Rodri’s league isn’t a crime.

Glad you are not the manager

I just don't think he's got the footballing IQ to play at the level we do, especially in his position.

As you say, he doesn't read the game too well. He doesn't seem to really know what positions to take up unlike Rodri, so he doesn't always give you an option to pass to him and often finds himself behind the opponent, leaving no way to pass to him. That's absolutely no good for the way we play and approach the game and what Is required in that position for our style.

I don't think he's a bad player at all and he has a nice range of passing. I think in another team who play a different style he would do well.

I just think he's not suited to us and basically I don't think he's really at the level to be playing for a team who are winning champions leagues etc. But there's no shame in that. I just feel he's a bit out of his depth.

He has my support though and I hope I'm proven wrong.
