Phillips technical weakness from a MC perspective is "Very very slow feet" NOT RUNNING SPEED. He struggles to control and manipulate the ball quickly in tight space and NOT lose It which is critical playing as DM for MC . Edison will play the ball to him when he is marked and under pressure and he is expected to be comfortable and reliable to receive the ball and NOT LOSE IT. When tackling the "slow feet" makes it difficult to shift position quickly.
Phillips "looks good" for England as England plays with 2 DM Calvin and Rice . in MC is Single DM . Gundo , Bernardo Stones are able to play in the DM role because the have quick feet and quality first touch and don't lose the ball in these tight spaces. .. We wish him well at West Ham which plays different .. On another note Paqueta would be a better fit at MC than at West Ham
I didn’t get the signing at the time, had never seen anything to make me think he was the level and Nunes falls into a similar bracket for me if I’m honest but that being said Phillips seems a nice lad and wish him well at WHU
I think he will be a 100 % slot in replacement for Declan rice as west ham does not play the technical tight passing through the holding midfielders the job is defensively more important and he will have help. Wish him all the best .. 🇯🇲🇯🇲
If you look at it from a football fans perspective, Phillips has it made. Trains and travels with the best team in the world yet never has to worry about the match day jitters, also gets paid to be a passenger at the elite most level of the game .
City have now brought in 3 midfielders who can barely get any game time. Quite remarkable actually that Nunes, Kovacic and Philips are all to varying degrees out in the cold. With such a small roster it is a bit worrying.
He is just not good enough, maybe required the step above Leeds, but he was never going make it at City, maybe should have gone to WH, Newcastle, Spurs instead of City and learn more and then make that step to Elite within a few years.
Lads, he was never that good. Kalvin is 28. To this date, 70% of the total league games he has played were in the Championship. He had one decent season in the premier league in which Leeds probably overachieved. If England had decent depth at DM, he probably never get's selected. So yes the standards of international football are lower because the pool is smaller. And that DM position has been problematic. Even now it's Rice and who else? He got exposed at City and would have been at any top team. He is a decent player, no more, no less.
When did he get exposed though.he never got a chance,if partey goes to city,he eats the bench coz rodri never gets injured,pep trusts and rates him and he plays with two free 8,s and an inverting defender
@ShawnGitahi since joining City, Kalvin Phillips has been in the match day squad 62 times when you look at PL and UCL. He started only about 3 of those games. I'm sorry but with all due respect, a fit and healthy Partey starts way more than that. And you can talk about Rodri but when he has missed games due to suspension has Pep looked to Kalvin? No he hasn't. A combination of Rico Lewis and Stones have started some of those games. In fact I'm almost certain Rico Lewis has started more games in midfield since Kalvin joined. And the lad's a 19 year old full back. Like I said, Kalvin's limitations have been exposed at City. He is a mid to lower table player.
He was injured in the 1st preseason game, then got re-injured once he came back .. tbh just unfortunate then add peps ruthlessness on top of it.. probably destroyed his confidence then on top of that Rodri then goes on to have the best CDM ever possibly, what can ya do 🤷
To me it was obvious this was always going to be the outcome. Signed because he is English. Same with Sinclair all those years ago. A good English player that was never going to get the playing time.
@@T.E.S.S. I wanted to watch it just to get some insight because this channel puts out good informative content. In reality they just over rated him and kept finding new ways to basically say the same thing and completely over rate him.
You are forgetting the last time he played regular first team football he was English player of the year. He was much more impactful than Rice when they both first broke into the English national team.
Nobody has really mentioned he never started well at City because he arrived with a hamstring injury which kept him out and then had a shoulder injury. He obviously struggled to adapt to Pep’s demands and systems of play. City is a big step up from Leeds!
Injuries and the fact he only had one good season at Leeds United. He isn't as good as everyone thinks and his level is mid table. Plus he was overweight.
It's not complex,he made the wrong career choice,how does a player whose main attribute is his long passing and through balls from deep go to city,that was a move doomed from the start.he ain't that press resistant and has slow feet hence he can be caught out in the first phase with how city play.his aerial ability is good but not that good,he can get bullied and city play with a single pivot,he moves the ball on too quickly and when you add that to the fact he came with an injury then wasn't completely fit and he had rodri above him and city play with a single pivot and two free 8,s 🥲he just didn't suit city,s system.he should have gone to united or Liverpool which are more direct where his long passing and creation from deep would have actually been helpful and with the lack of mobile cdm,s there,he would have easily established himself.at least he,ll be in the euros😂
He’s not that good? Was never of the level required? Overrated because he’s English? Leeds are a championship club that had a good time under Bielsa but to play for a team like city? No chance.
He lacks the technical ability to act as a six or an 8 for City. He can’t pass around the press or dribble through it like Stones, Rodri or Gundogan can. He’s a DM who receives the ball without too much pressure and can ping it to a winger.
Man City bought a very good player so other teams couldn't have him. It was clear Leeds were a yoyo club and they took their best player....and they were relegated the season after. Also, a fixture in the England team alongside Rice. But City bought him in their quest to have stupidly expensive players on the bench and due to Rodri playing, Phillips didn't. Phillips made the wrong choice.
I wonder what/who had Pep convinced about signing this guy in the first place. Like he's never been and will never be at that elite level. Not even close🤌🏾🤌🏾🤌🏾
Wtf does this mean,pep signed him coz he though he was good,he came with an injury then had rodri above him in the pecking order.that happens to many good players,his main strength is his long passing from deep,do you think that,d ever work for city
Just not good enough for a top possession team. Can't run, bad positional sense, not good enough on the ball under pressure. Will do fine in a more counter attacking team

At west ham he will probably sit next to Alvarez with JWP in front and Paqueta joining in.
I really rated him at Leeds.
I hope he's good for us 🙏
COYi
Go full-on 4-2-4.
I rate the Athletic but not having Roshane Thomas on this and giving west ham 2 minutes of discussion is flat out disrespectful. Do better.

He's paid but on the road to having 0 legacy
It seems the base of midfield is a really key area for Pep and he only really trusts Rodri. Even Nunes could be the next Philips.
nunes plays
@@laurent4819 a bit
Nunes will leave soon as well
Rico is above him in the pecking order

Cear and SIMPLE- He is an AVERAGE PLAYER- Yes he looked good at Leeds, that's LEEDS. He is NOT a PL standard!!! period
That hairstyle for a start
You guys are just over rating him. There was no need to make a video this long. He just isn’t good enough for that level.

@@T.E.S.S. Also in all honesty I want this channel to continue to put out good podcasts on interesting topics not this…
@@edguinmanuel1385there’s no way you watched this because I’m 5 minutes in and 3 of them have straight out said “he wasn’t good enough”.
Isn't good enough for city or Liverpool but he'd walk in any other side end of
You are forgetting the last time he played regular first team football he was English player of the year. He was much more impactful than Rice when they both first broke into the English national team.
Lol English homegrown quota is what happened to him, Jack Rodwell has the same thing happen to him

He has got the money to make his mind and body sparkle. Use it wisely.
Phil!!!!!!!

Nothing went wrong!! Ridiculous headline. Pep didn't pick him. Simple as that. City should have done a little more due diligence...
He’s an average premier league midfielder but because he’s English he gets glazed like no other.
He’s not that good? Was never of the level required? Overrated because he’s English? Leeds are a championship club that had a good time under Bielsa but to play for a team like city? No chance.
Genius of City is they probably get most of Philip money back. Havertz plays and Arsenal would get half.
More important,who told him his hair would look pretty cool the way he now wears it!?!!
Love how city can spend 300m in the last 2 years on players that don’t even play regularly 😂
They win regularly so...
Because City can..netspend for the past 3 seasons is around 100m euro
This was solved after 5 minutes. Pep didn’t rate him. Not his style. Southgate uses him. He could be good for west ham.
Bang average player signed by a really good team 👍
What went wrong is that he was never good enough to play for City. I said when they bought him that we’d had their pants down, and I was right!
Fair enough but for 45m?
Not going to do much for hid England chances if he can’t get into the team in front of Ward-Prowse.
That’s what he gets for choosing City over United. United needed him way more, and he would’ve been a guaranteed starter
That went well for Maguire
Shows where your club is 😂😂
Shouldn't he have claimed a spot after Gundogen left?
He lacks the technical ability to act as a six or an 8 for City. He can’t pass around the press or dribble through it like Stones, Rodri or Gundogan can. He’s a DM who receives the ball without too much pressure and can ping it to a winger.
What? Claimed what? Shows where you ball knowledge is
Rodri is the reason
38 MINS? Do you not have anything to do?
Man City bought a very good player so other teams couldn't have him. It was clear Leeds were a yoyo club and they took their best player....and they were relegated the season after. Also, a fixture in the England team alongside Rice. But City bought him in their quest to have stupidly expensive players on the bench and due to Rodri playing, Phillips didn't.

Sam Lee and Harry Maguire - brothers from another mother.
Wasn’t good enough. City didn’t play him. Now city trying to find him another club.
End pod.
Rodri.
Next video please.
Uhhh... he was never particularly good?
I wonder what/who had Pep convinced about signing this guy in the first place. Like he's never been and will never be at that elite level. Not even close🤌🏾🤌🏾🤌🏾
Wtf does this mean,pep signed him coz he though he was good,he came with an injury then had rodri above him in the pecking order.that happens to many good players,his main strength is his long passing from deep,do you think that,d ever work for city
@@ShawnGitahi Chatting rubbish. You can shut TF up now.
Curtis jones
Not a very good football player, but a maybe a player of a different kind.
Just not good enough. There, saved you half an hour of your time.
Uhhhh... he was never very good?
Kavin Philips is overrated. Another championship superstar
City ruining another career
For being a treble winner? Yea right
Bad haircut
Because Pep signs whoever he wants he doesnt care if it fails because to City it means nothing
I liked Rodri until I saw him whingeing like a baby for about 20 minutes after Bruno G stood on his toe.
Should i stand on your toes?
What went "wrong" for Phillips?
Premier League: 2022-23
FA Cup: 2022-23
UEFA Champions League: 2022-23
UEFA Super Cup: 2023
FIFA Club World Cup: 2023
Did he play in any of those games?
Just not good enough for a top possession team. Can't run, bad positional sense, not good enough on the ball under pressure. Will do fine in a more counter attacking team
