Itâ€™s difficult to understand what can have happened that he is so bad, he must be ok in training as he keeps making the squad but why canâ€™t he even look half fit or motivated on match day? Bizarre to me

For some reason he can only perform a third of a season. He used up all his good performances at the start of this season. I don't know why that is but it's true.

He needs selling, same as Gibbs. Yesterdays men on big money and giving nowhere near enough in return.

He seems to have lost the ability to run which makes no sense

Has to go in the summer. I never want to see him play for this club again

His race is run. Has got gradually worse for us. We had our money out of him I can't believe he got a new deal. He has been awful since the return after covid19 break and was pretty pants before it after xmas.

How we going to offload him?

Put him down like a sick horse possibly?
In all seriousness I don't know I can't see anyone being stupid enough to take him. Nobody that does a sensible amount of scouting on him anyway.

He needs to go and get a nice 2 or 3 year contract at a lower champ or even L1 club where his little touches of class between standing around puffing will be appreciated.

Backup option now and no more, can fill in at right wing back if we persist with this formation, Furlong currently our option there.

Disagree , the guy needs to leave.

RWB
Furlong
Oshea
Diangana

All better(Some not perfect) options than Phillips At RWB ...

Agreed. This guy, once a useful player at this level, is now a complete waste of a salary and a large salary at that.

I thought he was finished tbh. Hes put in some decent shifts recently and was suprised to see him captain today. But fair play good shift tonight well done Matty

Had a good game today in a position unfamiliar to him.

Phillips does this. He gives you about ten decent performances in a season then turns into a liability for the rest of the time. Hes putting in a shift at the moment and worked hard off the ball tonight. Worth persevering with whilst hes having his good spell.

This is very true. His career with us consists of the odd good run of games followed by a longer run of very poor displays. Would still like to see him moved out if possible.

Yep. There were times in the Championship under Slav when he was unplayable....a monster. Also times when he looked leaden and unable to play....a fat chuffer. Go figure??

baggie82 · « **Reply #1367 on:** December 27, 2020, 07:49:31 PM »

I don't recall him ever looking unplayable, unless we are going right back to some earlier games under Pulis. Most of the time he is breathing like he's just run a marathon. I didn't notice him too much today, he's lucky IMV to keep his place. Another one that will coast along unless you have manager willing to crack the whip.

Don't imagine SA allowing too many players to coast along.

Could be the prospect of a transfer window had just dawned on him,

alex1 · « **Reply #1370 on:** December 28, 2020, 01:39:24 PM »

I'm pleased for Matt that he's looking more effective in the role SA has mapped out for him. Coming through from midfield to get shots in, because he is best running onto the ball than trying to trick his way past a full back from a standing position. Shame that he didn't shoot late on yesterday instead of passing, because we've seen he has a good and clinical shot. Might be a confidence thing.

He was offside, but I daresay it was because he didn't fancy it from a tight angle on his left foot

I must admit ive not been a massive Phillips fan think his confidence is an issue when played out wide, but must admit Big Dave I believe first tried him in the middle and he had a nice little run in that position during 2018/18 season where he was quite effective.

His build and as you say coming onto the ball from a central position is far more suited to his game now and due to constantly being involved should help his confidence.

Mention for Matty, not only for being on the spot to score, but his all round game was good. It was his cross as well which set up Robinson's near miss. I still think he is a useful option for the manager to have up his sleeve.

He's second to everything, his legs have gone and he's useless at most things. Sheffield Utd destroyed our so called midfield last night, ran rings around us. Phillips is well past it, and is another player who if released on a bosman would not be able to command his current salary elsewhere.
