Kalvin is best sitting in front of the back 4 with the whole field ahead of him. We've never had a player that could "see" a 40 yard pass like him. MB also used him as a third CB and a sweeper...
Push him up the field and he's not the same player
Bloody hell ! I could've wrote that myself

Seeing as it ain't gonna work out for him at Citeh now, i'm beginning to wish he'd have kept his gob shut and we'd have rung something like 80m out of scum for him, those dumb Glaziers might just have paid up, and KP in the wrong hands is just not a baller.

I’m struggling to believe any player with his ability is that typecast and one track. He can only play one role on a footy pitch?
Well Bielsa really was a magician then as he took a one trick pony and got us 50 mill. Fair play Bert.
Same with England though isn’t it. Can’t just blame it on GS the useless twat that he is. He completely underwhelms me in an England shirt.
Also wonder what it does to your confidence when you’re not involved. Must just get used to it which is part of his problem I suppose.

Should never have gone to Citeh. Believed in his own hype. Needs to get out in January. I think I'm losing respect for him.
I think there's talk of him going to the Arse in January, now that could be interesting fert lad

Its a shame for the kid. He's needs to get out of Citeh and start playing football again somewhere its a short career to be wasting away on the bench when the manager doesn't rate you. He's got his token trophy wins Newcastle his next stop. Oh wait a minute....

Can’t be going there surely after they spent a fortune in Declan Rice
I hope he goes and Arteta knows how to use him better than Pep, which i now feel he would.

Needs to have a look at some David Batty videos does Kalvin. Oiled the wheels very nicely and effectively in that Leeds midfield and a perfect foil for Gary Mac, Strachan and Speed. At the moment he is too happy playing little 10 yard, non progressive passes sideways. Pass completion and accuracy will look decent but any team with designs on winning the League will be requiring a lot more than is currently in evidence and his window of opportunity is rapidly closing if, in fact, it ain't shut already. Pep did not look at all happy after the defeat by Wolves.

I don't think Man City will sell Phillips to Arsenal, makes no sense to take the risk of Phillips playing a blinder for the Gunners and Pep might be a bit embarrassed at failing to unlock his talent. He has to move to get his playing career back on track, he has plenty of money, his current team is doing well and he picks up medals for really not making all that much of contribution. Tough choices ahead, may have to take a pay cut to get game time at another club..

He's too static for a midfielder, needs to get much more mobile to make any effect on a game, at city he simply won't flourish, pep has got what he can out of him for their system, bielsa altered our total way of play to fit him in.
Maybe be better off at villa.
Or everton

I wouldn't wish any player to Neverton TBH. It's surprising that they have been able to / allowed to continue with the smoke and mirrors type of financial book-keeping they are employing. Surely there will come a point where it all catches up with them?

I see KP didn't get on the field again tonight.
He's done.
Rodri was back for this game so there was no chance KP would get a look in. But yeah the writing is on the wall and has been for ages. Kalvin is not a good fit for the way Pep organises Citeh to play and is way down the pecking order. When Stones is back available then he will drop further back. He seems strangely content to stay put and waste his talent

The Yorkshire Pirlo is the late Ray Wilkins in disguise isn't he?
Wilkins clocked up 84 England caps and scored 3 goals. My recollection is that he also spent a lot of his time playing the ball sideways, back and across the park
