Nat Phillips

[Catrin]

Still looks better than Harry Maguire.

So does my Nan

Oh Nat….. not the best debut and seen some people wanting him over because he’s ‘Brave’ and puts his head in where it hurts

Our eyes didn't decieve us last season though. He was solid and we kept clean sheets with him in the defence alongside a host of partners

He did great and himself and Williams were hero’s who helped us qualify for the champions league. Our defence was ****ed but he had better players around him which helped him massively.


But

He is a basic defender and not good enough for us - I hope the weekend was an anomaly…..so he can find himself a good club where plays regularly

[Fredo]

Yeah no way Phillips has a future here in the long term, just not good enough sadly. Hope he finds himself a decent club and has a decent career.

Not a massive achievement but also true.

I saw some of it and he really struggled against a non-league player (Scott Boden) I know well, and is slow, weak and ****. CBs often struggle on debuts though, especially coming so quick after the move. I think he'll do ok there. His obvious problem is his dire lack of pace and ponderousness on the turn, but I think he does the rest of the basics well enough to cope with the Championship.

I hope so but two things he really struggled with was getting caught under the ball (I would have thought a strength of his - might’ve been very windy) and his long balls….. stick to what you are good at Nat. Although he made one cracking pass and the forward couldn’t control it

[Pablo]

The huge difference for him will be not playing alongside top class players. Imagine swapping Virgil Van Dijk for Gary Cahill

I really hope he does well, but this is a move that will show his real level.

He has hardly played this season. Joe Gomez looked even worse in his first game back. Matip had a complete mare last month.

First game in a new system with a cracked head.

He was pretty much faultless last season playing alongside a teenager.

Nobody was saying he was better than the other 4. But his wage differential might have contributed to Salahs new contract.

You are to Phillips what Buzzo is to Robertson


And not even a peep from me about his performance either

Might just be a Skrtel type debut at a new club.

Do hope he does well there though as would prevent his sale price dropping and maybe get him a move somewhere that he can play on a regular basis.

I wondering how much the head injury had affected him, he looked really out of sorts.

Not having that about Gomez and Matip though, never seen them have a game as riddled with so many errors like that. That was like a Harry Maguire compilation rolled into a single game.
