Kalvin Phillips

[chris85mcfc]

He’s not the sharpest tool in the box. He had plenty of opportunity to fuck off in the summer, we couldn’t have made it any more obvious he wasn’t wanted yet he chose to stay, so now to whinge about minutes is a little bizarre.

In fairness, he's not had many minutes this season, but he's had 200 of them!

I know it's not much to go off, but we've not even seen a glimpse of any potential during those snippets.

Also, Pep sees him everyday in training, if he's not getting minutes, it's because he's showing nothing day in day out to warrant any more minutes than he's getting.

Seems a nice lad, but off he goes in January.

Yeah, it's hard to sympathise too much with his current plight. Guardiola made it clear that Phillips wasn't in his plans, but he decided to stay regardless. That was his prerogative, but he can't complain about his lack of game time now.

Miles off the pace, as shown with how many late challenges he put in, even when on a yellow card. Fairly solid but he doesn't do much more than get the ball and pass it back to the defenders. Not that Rice does much more than that either, it has to be said. Phillips' main strength is intercepting the ball and breaking up play and then getting it forwards quickly. But with no game time he's too slow to react and loses that part of his game.

I hear that some news outlets are suggesting that KP's unpunished shit challenge is down to City not playing him regularly enough ...

It's a fucking joke that he's even allowed to drive his car in the same car park as elite footballers.

Roll on January

I'm just watching the England game and as much as I hate to say it, the blokes a bit dim.
He'll be lucky to stay on the pitch.

Pity Woodward has left his job, we could have flogged him to the rag's for £80 million.

Phillips had interest from Liverpool, Bayern and West Ham in the summer.

He'll be lucky if relegation candidates want him by January.

Hope we can sell him rather than loan in January

 

[Corky]

Who else has been given a six year contract other than Phillips and Mendy?

You can't blame him for staying, and he will most likely see it out.

 

[Del_Bosque]

Worst signing we’ve made under Pep imo given cost

No mitigating factors like others that have failed, just pure dogshit technical ability a terrible lack of drive

 

[Norman kneejerk]

I'm not sure his reading of the game in terms of sniffing out trouble and picking people up is that great for a DM.
