Interesting reading Peps analysis.

Manager Pep Guardiola explained why he played there during the tour but admitted: “I do not know what is going to happen with his situation.”

He said on July 31: “He was really good for the problems we had. I know Kalvin when he gets the ball and can see all the pitch in front of him he's a really good player. When he has the small spaces there are more problems.

"That's why, with the problems we have, he makes an incredible effort with his position. He was confident with the ball and helps us a lot. I'm really pleased with his performance.

"When we have all our central defenders, we have a lot of central defenders. That's why it's not his position. We will see. Now he's helping us and it's good for us.”

Pep always has a polite way if saying 'I wish he'd 'koff'
 

Not sure he's always that polite!

If i was City id be fuming with him - those weight remarks really damaged Phillips profile and thus value.

Went from England's player of Euro 2020 to a lazy has been in a few months.
That is true
But he was in poor condition at the time(probably no bielsa murder ball) and maybe he was hoping it would be a kick up the backside
Pep criticised Grealish's fitness last season and he came back early preseason and is apparently smashing the fitness tests, for which Pep has publicly praised him
Method in Pep's madness perhaps
He wants rid of Phillips though

Basically, he's not great in very tight spaces, but he's good with all the pitch in front of him.
 

Are Everton becoming councillors for mentally ill footballers...I think we should swerve phillips. See if the effort and nurturing comes good with Deli first before taking on someone with another set of mental struggles and seems unable to cope with the demands of top flight football.

Lennon, although I doubt we knew about it at the time (might explain his miserable signings photos through). Club and fans supported him and he came back and put a shift in.

Saw a bit of Grealish doing interviews and playing this pre season, looks fresh and sharp.

Part of me thinks Southgate didn’t take him because he was ruined from celebratory benders and holiday, there was a pic of him in the preliminary squad where he looked how you’d expect.

If Phillips can’t do the same then well…
 
We love a good cast off with a " point to prove" . It's very rarely worked out
I think that depends what you choose to class as a cast off there are lots that would be seen that way that have worked out if we choose to include them but people decide not to make a point.
