    He can't be accused of hiding.

    He does have more work to do on being jostled. I see the coaches working on it in warm ups but maybe we need to draft in some 6foot brick ****house coaches for this sole purpose.

      That’s why we’ve kept Phillips

        If we want our players to have experience of being jostled by a power house defender then we put them into a few one on one sessions aganst Konate.

        A bit of time being bounced off of him and discovering that having some pace still does not get you away from him would have our guys laughing when playing for real against limited slow cloggers.
        I don't hate people. I just feel better when they aren't around.

          You do that & we take the risk of them both getting injured. Phillips on the other hand is expendable

            Yeah he still packed a lot in. I just thought there was also more focus and composure in his all around play in the final third to go with it this time.

              7 goals in his first 15 games - It said on the blood red podcast that only Fowler and Salah had bettered this.

                6 of those 15 appearances were as sub too. And many of his starts have seen him subbed off after around 60 or 70 minutes.

                He’s only played around 8 and 1/4 games worth of minutes.

                  So better off saying it in goals per minutes rather than games as would perceive a better statistic.
                  Nope, don't need anger management, you just need to stop pissing me off!

                    Just more accurate. It’s mad counting a 1 minute sub appearance against Brighton as a ‘game’

                      It depends what your agenda is though
                      The only gracious way to accept an insult is to ignore it; if you can't ignore it, top it; if you can't top it, laugh at it; if you can't laugh at it, it's probably deserved.

                          His goals per minutes played is moving quickly towards being elite. Something like 743 competitive minutes played now (that does include his 31 minutes in the Community shield so people can include or remove that depending on whether they see it as a proper game or not) and a return of 7 goals and two assists.


                          But right now he is getting a goal or assist every 82.5 minutes. That is nuts.

                          I'm still sticking with my early take that he reminds me of a young Cavani.

                            And this is him when he is erratic and supposedly ****.

                            He had moments where he looked calmer in an eye of the hurricane kind of way. He causes teams big problems.

                            Would have been a sublime assist for Salah were it not for some top defensive work from Napoli.

                              The key word being supposedly.

                              He seems to be playing for us like he did against us for Benfica, the difference being he is in a floundering disjointed unit with us at present and at Benfica he was in a team where he knew where others were going and others knew where he as going.

                              Good shout at the cross/pass meant for Salah too, though I would go as far as to say how he gained an extra yard prior to releasing the ball was even better than the pass/cross. That little stall/drag he did was exactly what he spent two games doing against us.

                              I like the fecker and nothing I have seen in him since he joined has changed my mind on that. I keep comparing him to Cavani and that is exactly the level I think he will end up being at in a couple years. Even his habit of going wide (regardless of whether he starts wide or central) is just like how Cavani used to do it when he was younger.

                                I like him too, and he is showing so many signs of the player he will be for us, like you say his awareness as he took the ball in advance of the cross for Salah suggests he is calming down.

                                That said, I like the energy and unpredictability he brings, I dont want him calming down too much. It is all about composure and decision making and he is getting there.
