Phil is destined to become the greatest English player of all time. His nationality is English but he plays like he was Spanish or South American. One major factor that distinguishes him from 99% of other English talent is that his game is based on thinking and skill and not physicality. Gerrard, Lampard, Rooney etc etc. they possessed a few good attributes but they were kinda old school players who were strong, quick and powerful. They didn't have the elegance in their play. Phil's technical ability, skills on the ball are sublime. His vision, passing, ability to make a decision in a split second (those backheels, one touch passes etc etc), movement etc etc. is what separates him from other typical English players. He plays with the brain and has a skill-set to execute the actions. Scholes and Gazza were the only ones that could be mentioned in the same category. When he comes on for the last 10 or 12mins he looks like a player we paid 50-60mil for. He fits in immediately and doesn't look out of place.
