When he got a game initially it always seemed to be with Mendy, and then Eric Garcia sometimes as well on the other side in a weakened team, and they all looked bad due to it.If anyone is doubting Phillips at the moment then take a look at Ake , the prime example of a player who struggled to make his mark and has now become an essential part of our squad , really well deserved for his performances last season and as usual overlooked by the media because of the shirt he wears
Best defensive left back in europe last season hardly anything or anyone got past him ,superb footballer
Different world now.
