Re: Kalvin Phillips
...and, if anyone thinks we can get him to stay for peanuts, he'll see us for the cheapskates we are and leave. We MUST show we are a quality team with a quality attitude.
Re: Kalvin Phillips
Has the capacity and scope to become a club legend. We MUST keep KP and build round him.

I have NormNorm wrote: ↑Fri Feb 28, 2020 2:59 am A thing I've noticed is how much extra fitness and strength muscle he has added since the Cambridge cup tie in Monk's tenure. There's no wonder he's as improved as he is physically but it has also given him that extra confidence and he is maturing to a very special footballer. You've seen that Leon, but yet attending all the games you do you would see it.
I noticed the difference in KP immediately during our first game v Stoke under Bielsa last season. Kalvin appeared super-fit, more athletic & gave the impression he was bouncing off the pitch
To be fair Bielsa has got his squad super-fit.....Klich, Ayling & Dallas being prime examples!
Re: Kalvin Phillips
Won't be long now Norm, from what I've heard & know of Kalvin I suspect he'll be entirely grateful to Marcelo for the improvement in his game under the guidance of Bielsa
Re: Kalvin Phillips
Thing is Leon, he's actually very likeable too - a superb advert for our team, manager and quest for the Prem.
Also, I love his behaviour as he's walking off the pitch - he's very conscious of the kids, the staff and the crowd in what is becoming a captain's demeanor.
I would also say him and Klich have got the AMF and DMF sewn up for at least the immediate future, as they seem to complement each other.

Re: Kalvin Phillips
Hope he doesn't make the England squad. We need to keep him fit for the run in, not playing in pointless friendlies, and England duty is where all the tapping up happens by the top 6.
Re: Kalvin Phillips
Kalvin Phillips has created 33 chances from corner set-pieces this season, more than any other Championship player. He has also created 8 chances from free-kicks. Both his assists this season have been delivered from the left channel
Re: Kalvin Phillips
Kalvin is not just a defensive midfielder
He pings the ball all over the pitch
Phillips controls games from the back, from the middle of the park & just for good measure he is our best set-piece provider

Re: Kalvin Phillips
Not his best game (definitely better than Cardiff) but the rock in our midfield, will be playing for England soon and in the Prem for Leeds MOT

Re: Kalvin Phillips
I'm usually criticized for my KP opinions but I'm a huge fan and I think marked him higher than anyone yesterday with an 8. Outstanding in open play all game for me.

Re: Kalvin Phillips
You usually over score and I usually underscore ...but I thought he was magnificent after a slightly rusty start yesterday.

Re: Kalvin Phillips
Locking Kalvin up for the long term is an absolute must. He's the face of the club.
Re: Kalvin Phillips
Kalvin v Blackburn
Re: Kalvin Phillips
Definitely our Captain for our first (of many) seasons back in the Prem
