Kalvin Phillips

One possible role for him would be as a Firmino-link advanced presser . Stick him on when we're 2 or more up with 20/30 minutes to go, with instructions to chase/harrass/disrupt opposition defence/deep mids, & prevent them building from deep, forcing them to route 1. However , to be effective , he'd need to show a lot more movement & workrate.
 
You have our best most solid back 4/5 behind any DM and they will play better or have more freedom, you randomly throw Philips in for his 5th game with a team of youth players and no dias/stones/walker you automatically make the job harder, the whole midfield colapsed for a spell against newcastle coming out of the blocks in the second half, kovacic was just as useless in that first 10 minutes as philips was, but he has already become a BM favourite so is absolved of any blame.

this place never changes I remember Rodri and Mahrez were shit according to some people on here the first season or two thrt were here.

Not that I am saying Philips will come good like he could as I don't think he will ever get the run of games needed to settle, but he has the talent despite the fact we probably will never see it reach porential
 
Unfortunately, he has also suffered by not playing with another ten who were considered close to being first on the team sheet
When he's come on late after we are comfortably winning, with better players around him, we've also looked much less stable and conceded soft goals though!
Pep usually a pretty good judge of the form of players!

Yep that’s the problem but also his body language to me the other night just didn’t cut it, didn’t take charge or anything, sadly I think he may go in January but definitely next season
