Man City Fans Fearing the Worst as Kalvin Phillips’ Form Continues to Deteriorate
Kalvin Phillips’ Manchester City career has been a disappointment since his arrival from Leeds United in 2022. The midfielder has struggled to find consistency, and his latest performances have left fans worried about his future at the club.
Phillips’ debut season was marred by injuries and a lack of game time, with just four starts in all competitions. He failed to improve last season, prompting City to loan him to West Ham United for the remainder of the campaign. Even a change of scenery didn’t seem to help, as he continued to underperform and was eventually omitted from Gareth Southgate’s England squad for Euro 2024.
With City keen to offload Phillips this summer, you’d think he’d be looking to make a statement during the pre-season tour. Unfortunately, his performances have been lackluster, with mistakes and slow decision-making leaving fans frustrated.
Fans Take to Social Media to Express Their Frustration
On social media, Manchester City fans have been expressing their concerns about Phillips’ future at the club. One fan commented, "Kalvin Phillips. Deary me." Another fan said, "He’s got to go. The confidence is gone, and he even stood still and didn’t even bother to try to recover the mistake. Didn’t even try and rectify his error – froze like a statue."
Another fan asked, "What happened to him, man?" while a fourth fan was brutally honest, saying, "Just take the loss. Sell, loan, release – I honestly don’t care at this point."
Everton and Saudi Pro League Clubs Linked with Phillips
Everton and several Saudi Pro League clubs have been linked with Phillips this summer. While he’s shown glimpses of his best form in the past, it’s clear that he’s struggling to live up to expectations at Manchester City.
Can Phillips Turn it Around?
Phillips has a unique skillset and can be a superb midfielder when at his best. However, he needs to regain his confidence and form if he wants to stay at Manchester City. If not, it’s likely that he’ll be sold or loaned out in the coming weeks.
