Kalvin Phillips

[Alan Harper's Tash]

This was interesting tweet about Phillips and players who play in team with certain style. Impact it has on career…

He’s had a 15 month break from football. His energy levels have to have been topped up by now!

Nah, he knew this summer that Guardiola didn’t rate him, we intended to sign a new CM and he had offers to leave permanently and on loan.

He didn’t want to move on - fine, the club gave him the contract so can’t blame him for sticking to it - but I won’t feign sympathy when it’s pointed out that Guardiola doesn’t rate him and he’s not good enough to play the system.

Pep has said he's not good enough to get the best out of Phillips. I don't know if Pep meant that or not.

I am not sure about sympathy. Isn't it the case that we need Phillips to play well with our midfield stretched by injuries and suspension.

Had a good first half

For me he’s not asking for the ball as much or been more pro active, he seems static without the ball, still solid but he’s not offering for the ball or taking charge like he should in that position.

Exactly. He has been okay. But a bit underwhelming

He was absolute dogshit. People looking for anything positive there are kidding themselves.

He needs 15-30 games and he isn’t getting them with us.
