Kalvin Phillips

Will do his confidence a world of good tbh. Happy for him.

It does make you wonder how he managed in that Bielsa side who play riskily through the 6 all the time?! (Not sarcasm, genuine bewilderment)

I just wonder if he’s slowed down due to injuries and they’ve taken a toll on his ability to move the ball quicker. That or lack of confidence. Or both.

Well they did get relegated after two seasons..

He did well last night, some of his passing was sublime. When he has a bit of time he looks quite the player it's when he's pushed he falls to bits.

If you remember, Kompany started as CDM in his first season and didn't do well.

Then Mancini tried him as a CB and magic happened.

I always thought Kalvin would be more suitable for that position, especially the one Stones / Akanji play.

CDM - ain't gonna happen.

Apples and huge foreheaded oranges mate.

He wont be a CB either. Just cant see it as a realistic proposal.

Still not quite enough to stay at City but a step in the right direction in getting a decent move.

Leeds play much faster and more direct. We prefer squeezing and slowing our play, so our midfielders tend not to have alot of room.

“He was really good for the problems we had. I know Kalvin when he gets the ball and can see all the pitch in front of him he’s a really good player. When he has the small spaces there are more problems."

Pep after the match.
