Cooper er nok ikke tilbake med det første etter at han måtte kaste inn håndkleet før start i går. Holdt seg godt i lysken. Llorente er vel ikke klar til neste kamp heller, så det ser tynt ut med erstattere. Kan jo flytte Koch frem, men med Cooper og Llorente ute blir det rimelig tynt i rekkene der bak da.
Kjenner pessimismen kommer krypende mot Villakampen nå. Kalvin er vel den eneste vi ikke har skikkelig erstatter for. :-\

Gjør ingenting at Kalvin er ute i seks uker, i hvertfall ikke for Leeds, kanskje verre for England, han er jo visstnok ikke PL-kvalitet...
Jo, jeg griner av denne dritdårlige nyheten! Faen!

Så han sleit med smerter på slutten av kampen, så jeg fryktet dette. Nå får vi se om Strujk er like god som Kalvin i denne rollen over noen kamper. Slett ikke umulig..

Tviler på at en 19 åring presterer like bra som en landslagsspiller. Men du skal ha for optimismen.

Ærlig talt ser dette helt forferdelig ut. Nå kommer jeg til å være bekymret foran alle kampene fremover.

Kollektivet er viktigst. Vi klarte oss bra uten Kalvin i fjor. Vant 6 av de 8 kampene han var ute. Det som er mest bekymringsfullt er at i tillegg er både Cooper og Llorente ute. Forsvaret er tynnslitt. Vi får bare håper på at disse to sistnevnte er tilbake til hjemmekampen mot Leicester om 12 dager.

Kjør denne uten Phillips mot Villa

Meslier
Ayling - Koch - Strujik
Dallas - Klich
Costa - Roberts - Hernàndez - Harrison
Bamford

Dallas og Klich alternerer mellom å stikke og holde. Harrison og Costa dekker vingene. Rodrigo sett best ut som impact sub så langt.

Bielsa du har nummeret mitt.

Det jeg har sett av Villa så spiller de ikke med to spisser, og da er nok dette en litte sannsynlig formasjon

Kommer neppe til å ringe før denne kampen ser jeg  8) ;)


På hvilket grunnlag klarer du å plassere Roberts foran Rodrigo? Mulig Rodrigo til nå har vært best som impact sub, men Roberts fra start har kun bidrat med å bruke opp et tidlig bytte i pausen.

Tilstanden til Cooper avgjør endringen. Strujik spiller enten for Cooper eller i 4'er rollen.

Tror ikke Klich blir flyttet bort fra 8ern. Da tror jeg heller Ayling/Davis spiller stopper og Strujiki 4ern.

Lager gir deg selv om Cooper blir klar. Håper dette laget hvis Cooper ikke er klar. Raphinha starter neppe. Det blir Costa en liten stund til

Alternativt Davis stopper og backer som tidligere. Casey og Koch stoppere med Koch til venstre. Masde gode alternativer. Først om fremst offensivt det må bedres!

Henry Winter har en høy stjerne blant PL-reporterne, han har vært positiv i Leeds-reportasjene sine siden Championship-dagene.

Nå har han intervjuet Kalvin, og det grundig!
For første gang er farens skjebne omtalt...

@henrywinter
One of the most fascinating people I've met in football. Kalvin Phillips #lufc #eng.Camera with flash
@michaelpowelluk


Kalvin Phillips is sitting at Leeds United’s training ground, thinking about Billy Bremner, about what the late, great midfield player still means to the club, and what Bremner means to him personally. “He’s just the kind of person that I’d like to be, a tough player who was loyal, who just does everything for the club that he can,” Phillips says.

Phillips is the present embodiment of Leeds, homegrown, hard-working, tough, an intelligent warrior and very aware of the club’s history. “Because I was a Leeds fan, I heard a lot of people sing Bremner’s name,” he says, “and I used to watch a lot of old videos of him and seen that film, The Damned United.

An hour in Phillips’ company this week is to appreciate the sacrifices that have gone into his living the dream, the importance of the women in his life, like his mother Lindsay Crosby, and his complete love for Leeds United.

“This is not a job for me,” Phillips says. “This is my passion. I’ve grown up loving this, especially these last three years, the best I’ve ever experienced with football. Being on a stage now where I’m getting recognised by England and big players follow me on Instagram, commenting on pictures, it’s just mad!

“My mates are all Leeds fans. Before I was in the first team, they’d slag some players off but now they know if we don’t play well they’re not going to do that in front of my face. They probably just wait until I left the room! We’ve got family group chat, 30 of us on WhatsApp, and when games aren’t going well, my family are commenting on a player ‘what’s he doing?’ I keep quiet. If I do get involved it just starts being an argument.

 
“My grandmother knows more about Leeds than I do. We got her an iPad and she’s never off it. She reads anything about Leeds. But it just shows how much Leeds fans love the club. Every time I come into training or play at Elland Road that same desire is in me all the way, it runs through my veins.”

Every time he turns up the drive to Thorp Arch, Leeds’s training ground, Phillips passes HM Prison Wealstun, where his father Mark is incarcerated. “He’s been in and out my life since when I was young,” Phillips says. “He’s been in prison, out of prison. He got into the wrong crowd, drugs, fighting, anything you can name.

“I look at the background of my dad. He wasn’t brought up in the best situation. He never knew his father really. He got the name ‘Chalky’ because he was the only black guy in his school and in his neighbourhood. A lot of people still now call him ‘Chalky’. It’s crazy. He had a kid at 13, my step-sister, we’re very close.”

He then met Lindsay. “He and my mum had a relationship where they were OK for a certain point and then my dad would go off and just do whatever he did. My mum would lose patience with him and then my dad would go into prison, come back out, come back to my mum and then do exactly the same thing.”

Phillips was happy to stay at Leeds despite not winning promotion two seasons ago.

Phillips looks towards the window, in the direction of Wealstun. “He’s in that prison there. I drive past him every morning. It’s crazy really. I’ve been to see him a few times but I don’t really like going in there and seeing him in prison. I’d rather speak over the phone. I speak to him every couple of weeks.

“He is proud of me. He’s Leeds. He’s lived in Leeds all his life. He rang me a couple of weeks after we’d been promoted, and said, ‘Listen to this.’ All the people who were waiting for a phone-call in prison were there, all singing ‘Marching on together’, banging on the walls. It was mad!”

Phillips is understandably very close to Lindsay, who worked so hard to raise the family on her own. “We used to live in a three-bed house, me and my brother upstairs in bunk beds, my little sister and older sister in the other bedrooms and my mum used to sleep on the sofa downstairs.

“I used to get free school meals. I’d see kids coming in with packed lunches, having sandwiches and chocolate bars. Some kids would laugh at me, saying, ‘you’re getting free school meals.’ I’d come home and say, ‘mum, why can’t I have a packed lunch?’ ‘We can’t afford it,’ my mum explained. There have been times where my mum didn’t eat at night because she had to feed us. My mum worked two jobs to make enough money to feed us. Grandma would chip in for food. So what Marcus [Rashford] has done is absolutely massive [with getting the government to fund free school meals during half-term].” It’s also why Phillips donates to food banks in Wortley.

He mentions his “little sister”, his twin, but they were triplets. “My sister Lacreasha got ill and passed away when she was a couple of months. When my mum was making tea she used to put on music that reminded her of my little sister, and she’d sit in the kitchen crying. We’d walk in and say, ‘what’s wrong?’. She’d never really tell us. Me seeing her like that made me feel I’ve got to help her out, make tea, look after my brothers and sisters when she was working. With Lacreasha, it’s just the thought of not knowing what person she’d have grown up to be.

“On our birthday we always say happy birthday to Lacreasha as well. We always go and put flowers on her grave, and just remember that day she passed away. I think about her when I play. I’ve a tattoo on my arm which symbolises her. That’s why I kiss my arm and point to the sky.”

The 24-year-old is a loyal character. “I’ve been with my girlfriend [Ashleigh Behan] 11 years,” he smiles. “We met in school. Ever since then, we’ve just been together. I don’t want to meet anybody else because we’re that close. I keep my circle very tight, keep newcomers at a distance.”

He’s devoted to Lindsay, admiring her selflessness. “She was working two jobs but recently she stopped working as a receptionist and cashier at the pizza shop called Harpos in Leeds.” So, presumably, Phillips enjoyed some takeaways. “Before this manager came in…!” he laughs.

Since Marcelo Bielsa arrived, Phillips has lost a stone. “I was a bit chunky,” he admits. “I wasn’t in the greatest of shape. The manager said to everyone, he wanted us to lose weight. We had to get the body fat down. He said we had to eat less food. I just ate some sweet potato wedges and some normal barbecue chicken. The way the chefs prepare it’s just a lot cleaner. Every week I’m reducing how much I eat. It’s hard work.

“If you come in on your weight target and your body fats are good then you can eat what you want. You can have ketchup! But say I went home and had a big fry-up for breakfast, came in here and I was overweight then the manager will look at me as if to say, ‘what are you doing?’ He just thinks whenever your weight’s low you play better.”

Bielsa famously works them hard, and the first floor of Thorp Arch has been rebuilt to provide dormitory accommodation for the players to sleep between training sessions. It’s a safe haven after the rigours of “Murderball”, the eight v eight full-on, no-holds-barred 15-minute games. “Murderball’s mental!” Phillips laughs, shaking his head. “I’m used to it now but for new players that have come in like Robin [Koch], Rafa [Raphinha], Diego [Llorente] after the training session they were looking around, as if to say, ‘What have we just done?’

“We got three or four coaches in the middle screaming, plus the manager. Say a ball goes out, they’re screaming at you ‘get the ball back in,’ ‘play’. It’s 100mph! I could clatter you, no foul, play on. People fly into tackles, I’ve done it. I’ve been angry because the manager’s shouting my name and I’ve seen the ball, and gone to tackle somebody, and then thought, ‘I should calm down now because somebody’s going to get hurt here.’ ”

Bielsa’s demanding nature, and redeploying Phillips in front of the back four, has been the making of the player, seeing him picked by England and shining against Manchester City in the 1-1 draw at Elland Road. “I’ve never seen football like it from any team,” Phillips recalls, “just how sharp it was, how well coordinated all the movements were. When they scored, I thought this could be a 5-0 game here. But we got into it, started making tackles.”

He was controlled in the tackle. “Since VAR’s come in you can’t play football the way it used to be played. You can’t tackle.” He’d scrap VAR. “I would. Football’s a physical game. With VAR getting involved, referees are pushed to one side. Then you don’t really have control over the full game when you have people sat not even in the stadium but sat 200 miles away [in Stockley Park].”

Phillips excelled against City, winning six tackles, making three interceptions, and enjoying a real duel with Kevin De Bruyne. “If you want a football player to be like anybody it would be Kevin De Bruyne,” Phillips says. “He can do absolutely everything, defend, attack, run, hold the ball, tackle. He’s 6ft, strong, quick, so smart with the way he finds space to get on the ball. It was a good battle between us. I felt it was one my best games. I didn’t get his shirt. I didn’t get anybody’s shirt. I was more mesmerised by Pep Guardiola giving me a handshake, and saying, ‘Congratulations, well done.’ That was nice!”

Bielsa is less demonstrative to players. “The manager’s very reserved,” Phillips says. “He doesn’t like getting too involved with the players, getting emotionally attached to players. A lot of managers in the past had their favourite players but this manager treats everyone exactly the same.” Phillips does smile at the memory of a rare sight, Bielsa charging across Thorp Arch to embrace Patrick Bamford who’d just scored a special goal to celebrate his return from injury. “It was nice to see that side of the manager but you don’t really see that often. Pat had been in and out of injury.”

Bamford is a popular character at Leeds, especially with Phillips. “Last year was tough for Pat. He had a lot of stick. I had family and friends saying, ‘what’s Bamford doing? Is he a good player?’ Pat’s an unbelievable player. He’s got all the attributes to be a great striker: strong, quite big, faster than people think. His finishing is unbelievable.” So why is Bamford now flying this year, scoring seven times in eight Premier League games? “Confidence,” Phillips replies. “I’ve always said he’s a really good player, just a confidence player.” Bamford remains hopeful of following Phillips into the England squad. “Pat said he couldn’t sleep the other night because the squad was getting announced the next day and he thought he could have a chance.” Bamford didn’t make the cut. “I don’t think he’s far from it. He’s in the top three for goals this season.”

Phillips himself is missing England, regaining fitness after a shoulder injury, but grateful for manager Gareth Southgate phoning him to say he remained in his plans. “It’s a shock at first,” he says of being called up for the first time in September, “quite nerve-racking just sat there eating breakfast with all the big players. Everyone’s welcomed me into the England set-up. I feel at home.”

He’s delighted for Jude Bellingham, who he played against in the Championship. “I’m happy for him. You don’t expect someone so young [17] to be such a complete footballer. Jude’s very athletic and just the move from Birmingham to Borussia Dortmund, to go straight into playing first-team football, you don’t see it very often.”

Talking of transfers, Phillips explains why he didn’t move to Aston Villa after Leeds were knocked out of the Championship play-offs by Derby County in 2019 and the club were short of cash. “There’d been a lot of talk about me possibly leaving and obviously Leeds United’s financial situation,” he recalls. “It was one of the first weeks of pre-season we came into this room here with Victor [Orta, Leeds director of football] and ‘Jay’ [James Mooney, the club’s head of media and communications].”

Orta asked Phillips, “What do you want to do?” Phillips was torn. He loves Leeds. “There was Premier League football there and money there that I’d never, ever seen before in my life. If I do make this move, I’ll look after my family and the heartache of not making it [promotion] was just devastating. Do I really want to leave on this note? Do I really want to leave without doing anything with Leeds? I have loads of Leeds family, so they were getting stuck into me, saying you’d better not leave. Everything was going through my head.” So he told Orta, “I just don’t know.”

Orta, a warm man, occasionally fiery, said to him, “If you want to leave now then tell me and we can sell you. But if you don’t or you don’t know then I’m not going to sell you.” Phillips replied again, “I don’t know.” Orta’s mind was made up. “I’m not selling you.” Phillips was relieved. “This is my club. I’ve been at Leeds since I was 14, been through so many bad times and then to see the good times is something I will treasure for ever.” Bremner would have approved.

“We got three or four coaches in the middle screaming, plus the manager. Say a ball goes out, they’re screaming at you ‘get the ball back in,’ ‘play’. It’s 100mph! I could clatter you, no foul, play on. People fly into tackles, I’ve done it. I’ve been angry because the manager’s shouting my name and I’ve seen the ball, and gone to tackle somebody, and then thought, ‘I should calm down now because somebody’s going to get hurt here.’ ”

Bielsa’s demanding nature, and redeploying Phillips in front of the back four, has been the making of the player, seeing him picked by England and shining against Manchester City in the 1-1 draw at Elland Road. “I’ve never seen football like it from any team,” Phillips recalls, “just how sharp it was, how well coordinated all the movements were. When they scored, I thought this could be a 5-0 game here. But we got into it, started making tackles.”

He was controlled in the tackle. “Since VAR’s come in you can’t play football the way it used to be played. You can’t tackle.” He’d scrap VAR. “I would. Football’s a physical game. With VAR getting involved, referees are pushed to one side. Then you don’t really have control over the full game when you have people sat not even in the stadium but sat 200 miles away [in Stockley Park].”

Phillips excelled against City, winning six tackles, making three interceptions, and enjoying a real duel with Kevin De Bruyne. “If you want a football player to be like anybody it would be Kevin De Bruyne,” Phillips says. “He can do absolutely everything, defend, attack, run, hold the ball, tackle. He’s 6ft, strong, quick, so smart with the way he finds space to get on the ball. It was a good battle between us. I felt it was one my best games. I didn’t get his shirt. I didn’t get anybody’s shirt. I was more mesmerised by Pep Guardiola giving me a handshake, and saying, ‘Congratulations, well done.’ That was nice!”

Bielsa is less demonstrative to players. “The manager’s very reserved,” Phillips says. “He doesn’t like getting too involved with the players, getting emotionally attached to players. A lot of managers in the past had their favourite players but this manager treats everyone exactly the same.” Phillips does smile at the memory of a rare sight, Bielsa charging across Thorp Arch to embrace Patrick Bamford who’d just scored a special goal to celebrate his return from injury. “It was nice to see that side of the manager but you don’t really see that often. Pat had been in and out of injury.”

Bamford is a popular character at Leeds, especially with Phillips. “Last year was tough for Pat. He had a lot of stick. I had family and friends saying, ‘what’s Bamford doing? Is he a good player?’ Pat’s an unbelievable player. He’s got all the attributes to be a great striker: strong, quite big, faster than people think. His finishing is unbelievable.” So why is Bamford now flying this year, scoring seven times in eight Premier League games? “Confidence,” Phillips replies. “I’ve always said he’s a really good player, just a confidence player.” Bamford remains hopeful of following Phillips into the England squad. “Pat said he couldn’t sleep the other night because the squad was getting announced the next day and he thought he could have a chance.” Bamford didn’t make the cut. “I don’t think he’s far from it. He’s in the top three for goals this season.”

Phillips himself is missing England, regaining fitness after a shoulder injury, but grateful for manager Gareth Southgate phoning him to say he remained in his plans. “It’s a shock at first,” he says of being called up for the first time in September, “quite nerve-racking just sat there eating breakfast with all the big players. Everyone’s welcomed me into the England set-up. I feel at home.”

He’s delighted for Jude Bellingham, who he played against in the Championship. “I’m happy for him. You don’t expect someone so young [17] to be such a complete footballer. Jude’s very athletic and just the move from Birmingham to Borussia Dortmund, to go straight into playing first-team football, you don’t see it very often.”

Talking of transfers, Phillips explains why he didn’t move to Aston Villa after Leeds were knocked out of the Championship play-offs by Derby County in 2019 and the club were short of cash. “There’d been a lot of talk about me possibly leaving and obviously Leeds United’s financial situation,” he recalls. “It was one of the first weeks of pre-season we came into this room here with Victor [Orta, Leeds director of football] and ‘Jay’ [James Mooney, the club’s head of media and communications].”

Orta asked Phillips, “What do you want to do?” Phillips was torn. He loves Leeds. “There was Premier League football there and money there that I’d never, ever seen before in my life. If I do make this move, I’ll look after my family and the heartache of not making it [promotion] was just devastating. Do I really want to leave on this note? Do I really want to leave without doing anything with Leeds? I have loads of Leeds family, so they were getting stuck into me, saying you’d better not leave. Everything was going through my head.” So he told Orta, “I just don’t know.”

Orta, a warm man, occasionally fiery, said to him, “If you want to leave now then tell me and we can sell you. But if you don’t or you don’t know then I’m not going to sell you.” Phillips replied again, “I don’t know.” Orta’s mind was made up. “I’m not selling you.” Phillips was relieved. “This is my club. I’ve been at Leeds since I was 14, been through so many bad times and then to see the good times is something I will treasure for ever.” Bremner would have approved.

Veldig godt intervju og får mer og mer respekt for den gutten.  Var så heldig å treffe ham etter bortekampen mot Reading i 2017.  Vi tapte kampen 1-0 og etter kampen sto vi utenfor der klubb bussen var parkert.  Mange av spillerne gikk rett på bussen, en av dem Chris Wood.  Men blant annet Phillips og Hernandez kom bort til gjerdet der vi sto og ba vaktene slippe dem ut porten slik at de fikk treffe supporterne.  Fikk da både bilde i lag med Phillips og samtidig en kort prat med ham.  Et stort øyeblikk for en gammel supporter av klubben og skikkelig gøy å se hvordan Phillips har utviklet seg de siste sesongene.  Og fortsatt like jordnær.  Han må vi aldri selge.  :)

200 kamper i ung alder, og med en bratt utviklingskurve i Bielsa-æraen. Det kommer til å bli en kamp å holde ham i klubben i 200 til.

imponerende tall men tror Phillips er der han vil være. nå har vi kommet til PL,en av de beste ligaene i verden og ett flott utstillingsvindu for våre spillere. Helt klart interresse fra andre klubber når vi og våre spillere gjør det bra,men er her vi må bygge videre og gjøre oss til ett stabilt topplag hvor vi kjemper om CL plasser. ikke selge de største for økonomisk drift. noen vil nok sikkert forsvinne for silly money i løpet av årene men tror den økonomiske driften i klubben er sunn og da tvinger ikke salg seg frem på samme måten.

Nei. Det er vel vanligst at det ikke kommer ut noe info før på pre-match pressekonferansen. Hvis ikke spilleren selv sier noe på SoMe.

Graham Smyth tar opp problemstillingen i YEP


Amid the noise and the England chuntering two opinions matter for Leeds United's Kalvin Phillips
Kalvin Phillips has very little left to prove to Leeds United fans but the same cannot be said when it comes to England.
By Graham Smyth Tuesday, 30th March 2021, 5:47 am


The midfielder’s job under Marcelo Bielsa has been to break up attacks, shackle creative players and get Leeds playing out from the back, and he’s done it brilliantly.

His dominance in the Championship was a huge part of the Whites’ successful promotion campaign and, although he obviously hasn’t enjoyed the same level of comfort on and off the ball in the Premier League, he’s proven very capable of operating at the highest domestic level.

England boss Gareth Southgate saw enough in the Championship to give the 25-year-old his first Three Lions cap before he had even kicked a ball in the Premier League.

And nothing Southgate has seen since has dissuaded him from the notion that Phillips is an international-quality midfielder, because he continues to call him up and use him when available.

Not everyone outside of West Yorkshire agrees with Southgate. His performance as a defensive midfielder in the 5-0 win over San Marino was assured and comfortable. As the game went on he looked more confident and throughout the 90 minutes he covered a huge amount of ground.

He looked after the ball well, won it back on the ground and in the air and even created a couple of chances. It evidently wasn’t enough, for some, however.


Against Albania, paired with Declan Rice, he had licence to go and get forward and made countless runs into space, some of which weren’t spotted by team-mates and some of which drew players towards him and opened up room for England to manoeuvre. Playing as a No 8 is something Phillips has done in the past, although not with any frequency for a long time at club level, and yet he again looked comfortable enough.

He kept the ball well, he was strong in the tackle and, in the second half especially, pressed with intensity to help keep England in the Albanian half of the field.

It was noticeable that when he was withdrawn, for James Ward-Prowse, England suddenly found the opposition more difficult to contain and Albania enjoyed their best spell of possession and territory.

Doing the job asked of you and fulfilling the expectations of your manager is not enough to make you exempt from criticism, not when you play for England anyway.

What Phillips will have realised by now, six games into his international career, is that pulling on the shirt, doing your job and doing your best is not sufficient in the same way it is when the shirt is a Leeds shirt.

His performances weren’t good enough or exciting enough for an element of the England fanbase, an element that exists outside of Leeds. “Shocking.” “Fraud.” “Technically far from England quality.” “Passes sideways.” “Spent the whole first half passing backwards.” A tough crowd, on social media anyway.

As a Northern Irishman, it has always felt like an England thing, to seemingly seek out and relish opportunities to criticise individuals who play for your side during international breaks but not for your side in club competitions. Growing up watching Northern Ireland struggle to score goals, never mind win games, I don’t remember the public or the press getting the knives out for the international team and individual players with the haste that was so evident across the water in England.

Phillips isn’t just falling victim to the filter of club loyalty and tribalism, however.

The perception that Southgate’s taste for pragmatism and defensive solidity is coming at the expense of a host of exciting attacking creators means Phillips will not be looked on favourably no matter how sound his performances are. They want Phil Foden, Jack Grealish, Mason Mount and James Maddison tearing up opposition teams. Let them play, Gareth. Two defensive midfielders? Trying to be hard to beat and resolute with tournament football in mind? Treasonous.

This is England, the 1966 champions of the world. Act like it, Gareth. This noise, and that’s all it is, isn’t going to go away, even if the Euros go badly and Southgate goes away. It’s a national past-time, having an opinion and ensuring the world gets to hear it.

When pubs are full again, Phillips’ name won’t be uttered with the respect it commands in Leeds, in England’s other cities. He’s still got to prove himself to Liverpool fans, Manchester City fans and Arsenal fans. He may never. He plays for Leeds, after all and, as David Batty and others discovered before him, that can be some pretty heavy baggage to cart off around the world with you on England duty.

There will always be noise.

Yet Phillips needs only to listen to two opinions, the only two that count – Marcelo Bielsa’s and Southgate’s. Doing what the former asks of him brought him to international football. Doing what both ask of him will keep him there. Right now he’s doing exactly what is asked of him.

...og her toucher Moscowhite det samme, i samme avis :D 

Absence of fans has been hard on Leeds United's Kalvin Phillips who isn't made for the small screen - Daniel Chapman


Daniel Chapman has co-edited Leeds United fanzine and podcast The Square Ball since 2011, taking it through this season’s 30th anniversary, and seven nominations for the Football Supporters’ Federation Fanzine of the Year award, winning twice. He’s the author of a new history book about the club, ‘100 Years of Leeds United, 1919-2019’, and is on Twitter as MoscowhiteTSB.

By Daniel Chapman  Tuesday, 30th March 2021, 5:40 am

One nice aspect of this fortnight of international football has been the opportunity, after a year of pandemic loneliness, for football fans of all clubs to come together behind their international football team.

I mean, next to nobody took it, but it was nice to have the opportunity.

That Kalvin Phillips is regularly starting competitive matches for England is a source of pride for Leeds – as Marcelo Bielsa says, it reflects well on both the player and the good work being done at the football club.

But it comes with a reminder of the status Leeds United have lost since relegation from the Premier League in 2004.

Leeds fans know Phillips deserves to be there, with Pat Bamford, and Luke Ayling, plus Jackie Harrison, too. Not forgetting future Ballon d’Or winner Joffy Gelhardt, or Stuart Dallas, the Cookridge Cafu, if BT Sport keep insisting on his local Leeds boy status.

To us, Phillips is an integral part of the football wonder machine built by one of the world’s greatest-ever coaches, and the inheritor of the No 23 shirt from David Batty, himself a custodian of a brand of midfield excellence Billy Bremner learned from Bobby Collins.


His international career is a natural extension of his prestige as a footballer for the proud European champions of 1975.

That’s the view from Beeston, anyway. Viewed from elsewhere, he’s a backwards-passing waster from a small club with no Premier League pedigree that will probably be relegated next season anyway.

Ah, the calm, cool analysis of modern football fans. I hate to get my cloth cap on, but eeh, when I were a lad, international footballers got some respect.

I remember it being explained to me that songs at league grounds, about Peter Shilton’s extramarital affair, were “distateful – this is the England goalkeeper”. A reverent position in society, like a Home Secretary or a lollipop lady.

Nowadays the make-up of the England football team functions as an extension of social media’s club-oriented tribalism, with PES 2021 ratings and a YouTube search as evidence.

Which is obviously fine when it’s me saying I don’t think Jack Grealish should be anywhere near the England team, but even then, I will now admit his international performances have managed to bring me very slightly round to the idea that he’s not altogether a total waste of VO5.

It would be nice if Phillips could have that persuasive effect on the sceptics, but that is rarely the fate of a defensive midfielder.

Criticism of Phillips’ games for England is another inheritance from Batty, because neither player is suited to television. Shielding the defence and feeding attackers: there’s an ideal of a football match in which a player like Phillips or Batty doesn’t touch the ball once, because they don’t need to, ruling over the pitch with their presence more than their possession.

They work off the ball and intervene when required and, while the camera follows the action, their best work is out of frame.

Only fans of Leeds, Blackburn and Newcastle ever appreciated how brilliant David Batty really was, because you had to see him play live and watch him.

If he ever made the highlights on Match Of The Day it was usually because he’d smacked someone, and yet there he would be, in the England team, while fans fumed on their sofas, wondering what he was for. But if you knew, you knew.

Now so many opinions are formed from social media videos it feels like the world has turned further away from players like Phillips. His only viral video of the season came from sharing a couch with Dua Lipa.

Raphinha’s goal at Fulham summed things up. The weighted pass from Bamford and the almost-imperceptible roll Raphinha put on the ball before finishing were worth every slow-motion replay, but look at where it all began.

Mario Lemina hesitated, and from left-of-screen Phillips struck, like a hawk snatching a dormouse in a David Attenborough documentary. It was a snap-second impact, flashing like a subliminal message, gone once the lads up front put some silk on the move and scored the goal, but not completely forgotten.

The absence of fans has been hard on players like Phillips.

Back in Batty’s day, he could at least rely on touring the country live, impressing local fans, so when it came to England the mystification of Match Of The Day viewers had a counterpoint from match-going fans – “oh yeah, him, he was good at our place”.

It feels like a missed opportunity of lockdown, that while so much effort was put into replicating crowd noise, no broadcasters offered the high-level, whole-pitch view you get from the back of a stand.

Some players just aren’t made for small screens, and some people might have to think again about Kalvin Phillips, when they see him at their ground next season.

Har Phillips begynt å ta dødballer for England nå? 

England var veldig sikker i spillet sitt mot Polen frem til John Stones rotet det til i forsvar og gav bort ballen til Polen.  Dermed 1-1 etter 58 minutter og spørs om dette ikke ender 1-1 også.

Men må sei han har spelt veldig på det trygge i dag, veldig mykje støttepasninger, hadde vore godt å sett han tatt meir sjanser for landslaget og, men herlig at han har etablert seg på Englands midtbane!!
