According to whoscored.com taking into account, goals scored, chances created, assists, and successfull pass percentage, Phillips is our second best midfield player behind Saiz, even Ayling rates above Hernandez and Alioski, neither in the top 100 https://www.whoscored.com/Teams/19/Show/England-Leeds Look who is bottom...
The match isn't going to be snowed off is it ? - underground heating, but what about the terraces. I would really be in a foul mood if I woke up early and there wasn't a match !!!
But then TC and all of the other coaches see Klich in training none of us do. Perhaps the speed of the Championship standard players and lack of time on the ball just mean he struggles? I don’t know and neither do you. If Klich constantly wins his battles against the likes of Phillips and sets up goals galore then TC would indeed be doing us paying fans (and you) a disservice. On the other hand, if Phillips dominates him then TC is doing his job rather than being stubborn. Certainly the mistake Klich made against Cardiff was horrendous at this level and set up our second successive defeat in what turned out to be a horrible run. I saw you preening yesterday about us winning with Hernandez, Saiz and Alioski all playing. If you want to be taken a bit more seriously then you should balance that with what went wrong in the games they all played where we lost, and I don’t just mean “it was all this years’ scapegoats fault”. Yes, it is all about opinions but, if I could write your opinion before every match of how everyone played would it actually be an opinion?
That’s a very long winded way of saying, I like him and want him played (despite having never seen him play). Yes he agreed to work with Orta but TC is responsible for the 1st team.
LL is right. TC is just stubborn, he took a dislike to Klich (maybe Mrs TC found out why they call him the penetrator) and to a lesser extent Cibicki And refuses to play them dispite knowing they would strengthen the team. TC doesn’t care about results or his job, just on getting one over on klich, like klich got over his Mrs. There is no other plausible explanation.
Won’t be long till fans start calling for players who aren’t Leeds players to start There is, they could be ****e
Funny, last season people were saying they don't give a stuff about stats, now all of a sudden they're being banded around. Lasogga's on top with 5 goals and 1 assist, Alioski is 7th with 5 goals, 3 assists, yet CBJ is third and basically has no stats.......so what are the stats actually saying, seems more along the lines of appearances and minutes played. Phillips does a lot of sideward and backward passes, sadly, they all count in the stats, didn't do bad at beginning of season, but been lost since. Defensive, CBJ has a higher rating than phillips but is in 6th place, Saiz has a higher rating than Phillips, but is in 14th place, others have a higher rating than phillips but are lower in the table. Offensive, Lasogga, Saiz have a higher rating than Phillips but lower in the table, CBJ has a higher rating but is 11th place. Passing, again, CBJ has a higher rating than Phillips, but is 15th on table, others have a higher rating than Phillips too. Detailed, seems Phillips is stuck on 7.12. Others have higher ratings than Phillips, again, CBJ has a higher rating than Phillips and is 3rd on list. Aggression is based on yellows and reds, Phillips has 7 yellows, top of list. Aerials won and assists, Phillips not even on lists. Phillips, not in the top ten Championship top players, home and away. Only Saiz and Alioski are in the CTP home and away, 6th and 7th. I don't know what your point was about the stats Ristac, but it seems CBJ has been our star player all season, and much much better than Phillips. You may like Phillips Ristac, I don't have a problem with that, each to their own, but I don't, he's just another Cook or Mowatt, and if he doesn't buck his ideas up, will probably go the same way as Mowatt. Is Phillips one of Redders?.....
ooooooooooooo LoL, still trying to disguise those sneaky underhanded digs aren't you, don't worry, your secrets safe with me, I promise not to tell anyone, we'll keep mum about it....nudge nudge,
OK, I'll go along with you LoL, If I like him, but never seen him play, how can you dislike him, having never seen him play?
Wow Marcus, 1 mistake you picked on and Klitch is crap.....what about the mistakes Green made last season, or the mistakes some players made this season, are they also in your reckoning??......obviously not, or you would have mentioned them. Wasn't preening Pablo, Saiz and Alioski, was replying to Docs comments, there's a difference; if you had a better command of the English language you would know that, now wouldn't you. For the record, I went along with Ristacs view about all the players playing badly, and why was the whole team playing badly. Now, if you'd have took the time to research before your attack, you would've known that, now wouldn't you. Please please don't write my opinions for me, I don't want the readers reading bullshit, made up fantasy stories, lies and Marcus's twisted opinions, cos the readers will think it's me, and find it very unusual and out of character for me, and that would be deceiving the readers, and you shouldn't be doing that, now should you... Are you still in pain Marcus? you must be, you still keep trying to attack me.
If you’re going to insult me, at least have the decency to do so with a coherent sentence. But you’re right about being short on wit... I definitely lack your variety of wit, which covers the full range between half and fc*k. Now we can trade insults all day if you wish or you can take it as the light hearted p*ss take it was intended to be, and we can move on.
