Do think Phillips will do well for West Ham because his passiveness on the ball won’t be as glaringly obvious given they don’t have it too much. And if they do it’s a sense of getting it to Bowen/Kudus as quickly as possible rather than anything intricate.
Means he can focus on tracking runners (I know) and making challenges. One of those type of players that will make 5 tackles a game and become known for it. Like he was at Leeds and is for England. Just didn’t suit us but will suit West Ham/specifically Moyes a treat IMO.
