This is a good point. Rodri had one bad game last season (Spurs away) and got thumped for it. That's the level of consistency we need. And it's true across every position. Any player near our squad is an exceptional footballer, it's not in doubt, the question is can they do it in our system. We need 7+/10, 90 minutes, twice a week.The phrase "game of fewest mistakes" comes from golf but has a lot of applications in football as well.Most players including Kalvin can do some good things but my doubt is how frequently he gets it wrong, especially in a team like city who don't sit back it can be very costly. Wish him luck but think city's system maybe too difficult for his touch lack of quickness of turn,feet etc. Think his passing and tackling etc would suit most teams in top half.
Definitely concerned how this maps out.Might just get away with it keeping it very simple but like others not sure he's the right material.
Crikey, according to MEN scoring very few of our players ever get close to this score. Amazing we won anything!This is a good point.

Won't be missed by meI watched that Amazon film about Kalvin Philips last night. That’s an hour of my life I’ll never get back. Pretty much just a load of self-produced waffle about what a lovely guy he is and how much he loves Leeds.
Now I'm sure he is a lovely lad etc but needs to step up or step off massively this season.
My point is they didn't make an offer for him despite plenty of speculation they were interested. Reckon we'd be happy to take a £10million loss on him at this stage.The lad doesn't want to go so of course West Ham have moved onto other targets or is your point if they want to spend 40m on Gallagher we are getting half that for Phillips
Not up to us though. Can't force him to move.My point is they didn't make an offer for him despite plenty of speculation they were interested. Reckon we'd be happy to take a £10million loss on him at this stage.
