If Phillips was at any other team, that had our injuries, he would be in the starting XI.
I am at a loss as to why Pep can not accommodate him in some way.
Why are you at a loss?
Arguably the best manager of all time sees this guy play all week in training and clearly doesn't think he is right for us.
I think Pep's success has earned the right to know when someone is good and/or suitable enough or not without too many questions as to why.
There's no great mystery behind it. He's not got the ability level or style that Pep wants on the pitch. The club clearly misjudged his ability, or more likely his suitability, but that happens.
I say suitable because I don't think anyone truly believes he's a poor player, I just think Pep simply don't think he can do the job he requires of him in his team.
