I doubt it'll happen because of Southgate's loyalty, but by actually playing football Phillips could be playing himself out of the Euros squad.

 

[AndyWolves]

Bookies have forest at home as favourites Vs west ham, not sure about that

Aged like fooking milk that one

 

[Alan]

Collins you are fucking wank.

Just seen Salah’s goal; who the fuck is Collins trying to go palms out at?

Same as at Wolves, he never takes responsibility.

Has he ever really been that good? I know Leeds fans loved him, bit for me he's just a bit 'meh' even at his best.

Phillips was a steady player. Nowt spectacular but had a role at Leeds and was very good in it. Also always looked OK in the England shirt.

City move has destroyed him and gone to West Ham and probably over doing it to try and impress but first big error and his already weak mental confidence smashed to bits.

 

[Alan]

He’s always looked incredibly one-dimensional to me. A pure #6.
Not a place for that type of player in most high-end squads these days, IMO.

 

[sycophantia]

Phillips was a decent CM but even at his best, I'd rather have current Lemina or Gomes.

I think like Maguire he's always looked better in an England shirt than a club one. I didn't think it was right Southgate kept picking him when he was playing about 20 minutes a month for City, but he still continued to do well, even though I don't think we need Rice alongside someone like him or Henderson in the vast majority of games. He's completely shot at West Ham now though, giving away goals and now a red. Like Kenny says I think Pep has broken him with his clear lack of belief and fat shaming

 

[Dire Wolf]

For me, he's always been just 'alright'. Not an international calibre footballer in a month of Sundays. Rice has always been a far superior CM in my view.

Yeah but in fairness, that wasn't a second yellow. Just that twat MGW making it look worse than it was and getting him sent off.

 

[Jack Regan]

City v Chelsea is an enjoyably open affair. If Chelsea had someone other than Nicolas Jackson and 2024 Raheem Sterling up top then they'd likely be in front.

 

[AndyWolves]

I'm sorry Miss Jackson

 

[Alan]

Was Jackson actually good in Spain? It's really hard to imagine him being successful in any league.

There's needing time to adjust and then there's... Whatever he is.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

He had a weird scoring streak after Christmas last year.

He is shit.

 

[Tredman]

Nice finish from sterling.

 

[Jack Regan]

Finally make them pay for being so horribly open at the back.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Deserved lead

 

[YoungWolf]

Yep. Could be more really, city hav been quite poor

 

[Tredman]

Seem to have woken up now.

 

[jd1981]

glad someone topped up the Chelsea metre after we played them
