Phillips has turned out to be a complete disaster for West Ham. Player has wasted his talent going to Man City.
Billing is crap. If we sign either then we won’t be doing anything soon.
As for Longstaff I have defended him for a while but I decided to watch his overall play yesterday and his positional sense was appalling. He gets credit for covering the ground but that’s because he doesn’t have that good a football brain.
He played very poor yesterday. When he was through on goal he was a couple of yards ahead and he seemed to get goosed by the time he got to the ball.
He loses the ball when you think he's going to win it over and over again. He's just out there running around. He's a dreadful player, but he's seen as being essential.
He doesn't even get booked because he's never near the player. He's just there.
