Whatever Phillips is or isn’t he was the best of our starting m/ f last night. Noticeable after he and Robinson got taken off that we had nothing on the r/h side in either attack or defence where there was acres of space

Taxi for Phillips!
Whatever people say Phillips, he is so inconsistent with negative contribution and performances, it needs to have a taxi booked for him.

What exactly does he offer?  Bilic was slaughtered for giving him playing time.

Played well first half, commentators picked up on the fact he was our main outlet at times.

He faded second half but that's likely a fitness issue.

When he wants to be, Phillips can be a good player and he hasn't done much wrong tonight.

He’s done absolutely nothing wrong tonight and played well.

He’s probably knackered at the end and is therefore unlikely to feature on Sunday.

I await you dragging up the Pereira thread to give him a lambasting too...

Phillips is limited like most of our permanent player's, did ok but offered nothing in advance positions and when counter attack was on never took on his man.

Playing well but spent by half time. Just needs to get fit

Pereira is played out of position on the wing instead of in the   Hole.  Phillips is not good enough at this level.

Hopefully he doesn't feature on Sunday and we use a proper winger like Robinson or Diangana.

Played well first half, in fact his best performance for a long time but as normal disappeared second half.

Agreed, he doesn't have the legs, looks knackered after an hour.

What does this player offer and what is he? Is it that he just works Ard? Because he does little or nothing to affect game. He's out on wing but his natural instinct on counter attack is to play either a square or backwards pass at no time does he attempt to skin a defender. I personally think he's in team just to protect Townsend at full back which is a slight on Connor. Some have suggested that last night was one of his better performances, well the bar must have been set fairly low. inebriated right off that he hasn't got the football nouse to anticipate a Gallagher effort a cross goal in second half. Needs to be nowhere near first team, just isn't good enough.

Matt Phillips is a waste of a shirt.
Hope the end of season taxi is booked for him and the other waste of spaces.

Thought he was one of our better players last night. Can't agree that he never tries to beat a defender. He doesn't get around the outside of defenders as much as he should, but then who else in Albion colours does?  He's still getting in crosses which is one of his main jobs, and is helping to give cover for Townsend. As for scoring, he's got a decent record since he's been with us. However, he has a problem lasting much more than 60 minutes, but that's why we have squads.

I must have been watching a different player, bloke the one I was watch had blue and white stripes on and was out on left wing. Passed ball back continually when we were breaking and I for one never saw him get to byline and put in cross. As for being one of our better player's don't think so.

I’m with you. He is not good enough. Might have at least tried in the last couple of games but that’s a given. What positive impact did he have?

Get him working hard bit but Phillips is exactly why this club has gone backwards , bottles it every instance  when we really need something . Yesterdays man like a few others including H.R.K , you look back and see the likes of Brunt and Mozza and realise we are left with the dregs from that era and we keep giving them new contracts despite them getting worse .

That miss last week against Newcastle from point blank range still winds me up. He shouldn't be in the side, better players like Grosicki not even in the 16.

That volley in second half and side foot from outside box sums up his foot ball abilities. Limited to say least and we have him for another season to put in his usual pee poor performances.

He works hard off the ball but his quality in the final third is shocking. Take a touch on to his right foot, then back to his left then on to his right again before a rubbish delivery is how it usually goes. How any striker is able to time a run when Phillips has the ball is a mystery to me.

Thought that put him onto 40?! If it's more then good lord. If this is Dowlings answer to short term problems then God help us in the summer when he gets to shape our long term future

He'll con another manager in the Summer , he's not the only one .

I can only assume he will be given a new deal due to not wanting to add to the summer upheaval  ::)
