Kalvin Phillips

[flb]

Phillips has got 4 medals since leaving Leeds. Doubt he sees it as a mistake

That’s like having a wank watching porn - you’re not involved but get the excitement that you are.
He played no part in his “medals”.
He can stare at his medals all he likes but he contributed nothing.
Nice lad he maybe , but even City make mistakes when buying players.
He needs to leave to get regular 1st team football.

Feel a bit sorry for Kalvin, as I think you need a run of games to show your worth. He has not been given that and looks unlikley he will get a chance. Zinchenko was in a similar sitution, stayed and ended up playing more before being sold. I wouldn't be surprised if he left before the season started. In Pep we trust though! He has been pretty spot on so far!

Carson is clearly an integral part of the goalkeeping setup Eddie spoke on it many times at the end of last season...didn't see rodri thanking Phillips for his input into the cdm department!

I've heard it all now!

Scott Carson is probably no more an 'integral part' of anything than the kitman. He's on the books as cover just in case both Ederson and Ortega get injured, rather than exposing a youngster.

That said, he's supposed to be a big character and 'fun' in the dressing room...

Eddie Large was good fun and clearly an integral part of City's matchday coaching staff, but I don't remember him getting paid for it.

Don't remember Paul Smith. Seen Neil Young and Ronnie Healy play for the reserves but never for the first team. Years later I worked at Ronnie's House decorating for his son Scott, who's a good lad.

I remember Paul Smith. Number eight, thick black hair. I used to sit right behind the directors box for reserve matches. Good days

I hope we keep Phillips.
He's OK when fit and will progress under Peps regime.

But Carson has ?

Obviously posters of a like mind as yourself will create a narrative to justify their comments and opinions.

I'll ignore it thanks.

Some just have a very low threshold.

Nothing against Carson but your logic is skewed, and Phillips is any easy target for so many on here.

I'm not on about Carson, he's just a lucky dressing room mascot. Easy target or not Phillips has been given several opportunities to impress and all he's done is casually saunter around with his silly bob bouncing around on his daft head. He hasn't shown any hunger passion guts or desire. Get rid whilst we can still get good money i say.

Media suggesting that we may want to buy Dewsbury-Hall from Leicester if KP leaves.

Sounds like a nice day out, do you get free parking with a National Trust card?

He played no part in getting those medals. And he knows it. I doubt he will be bragging about his medals anytime soon....

His bank account however....

Maybe all these, post take over fans should be fecked off as well. After all, they didn't suffer like hard-core fans of the 80s 90s and beginning of the 21st century.

Some of the comments about him not deserving a medal are plain ridiculous. Phil Foden got a medal in 2017/18 and played less than 10 games. Didn't hear any comments about that at the time. But then he's one of our own, and Kalvin isn't

Some of you wouldn't have survived the 80s and 90s

Nobody is saying that Phillips didn't meet the criteria for receiving a medal. Just like Scott Carson or Sergio Gomez met the criteria. And if that's your standard for "deserving it", then that's fine. But let's not pretend like Phillips played a single meaningful minute for us last season.

 

[eastlandsblue]

Carson has the same

No Carson has a lot more, and thats a good thing

 

[John Wayne]

I can't believe that there are people calling out Pep, our greatest ever manager, about this issue. We haven't seen much of Phillips, but what we have seen has been significantly below the standard required. Pep has seen all of what we have and more to be able to make a sound judgement. We are not a junior team where all of the lads pay subs so should get a crack at some point. This isn't a fucking tea party, it's elite level sport where the pressure is so intense that every misstep is highlighted. Pep momentarily scratches his bollocks and it's an Internet meme before you know it. It's serious stuff to those in the industry and plenty outside of it.

If Pep is purposely not giving minutes to Phillips because he wants Phillips to take a hint then it's good enough for me. Every club, including our own, makes bad signings from time to time. One thing I absolutely trust Pep on though is his ability to watch players like a hawk in training.

We should not be dropping Rodri today just so we can be nice to Phillips. We should be ruthless in exploiting Arsenal's mistakes yesterday. A win puts us clear at the top by two points already. Let's have every other team feeling like they're staring down the barrel once more. Winning four PLs in a row might just be the greatest of all of our achievements in the past 12 years. If Pep doesn't want Phillips to be a part of it then that's fine by me. He's surely earned that right.

Dewsbury Hall ffs. Might as well get that centre back from the dippers as well, Phillips I think he's called. It aint 1989 City no more.

Why can’t we see Phillips as a lucky dressing room mascot?

We've never won the Champions League without him.

Gave me a chuckle. Cheers.
