I'll say it again...he was pretty decent against Sunderland and West Ham.
Even before the Burnley game he had created more chances than anyone else in our side (stat used by Sky). Note, that's chances not assists ...assists rely on someone finishing it off.
His stats are very impressive for us. Looking at whoscored.com, they've got him rated second according to his statistic, only behind McAuley. Here's Phillips' stats:
13 apps, 3 goals (joint 2nd), 4 assists (1st), 1.7 shots per game (3rd), 1.6 key passes per game (1st), 1.9 dribbles per game (1st), Overall rating 7.12 (2nd).
