I don't want to jump on any bandwagons, but from game one, I've been willing to see the box-to-box, all-action Phillips. In reality, he's been timid and played within himself IMO. In many ways, he's trying to play Morsy's role, which means our entire double pivot is 10 yards deeper than it should be.
I just said that he's played within himself and I do sincerely hope that's true and it's not just his new benchmark for performances. I'm incredibly biased, but Taylor has shown more running power and dynamism than Phillips in 15-minute bursts than Phillips has demonstrated all season. |  | | |

So why isn't he getting up to speed fitness wise, or is this just lazy journalism? And if he is that unfit, why isnt Taylor in ahead of him,. Would McKenna really pick an unfit player do consistently? |  |

When you're paying the thick end of £100k p/w for a player, you'd want to try and get a tune out of him, no? | | | |

I don't know how they could possibly know his "head is still at Leeds" unless he's told people that - which would be a very stupid thing to do. |  |

Morsy and Taylor has never really seemed to work as a pair in terms of starting games. Hence why KM seemed to prefer Luongo. I am interested in seeing what a fully fit Cajuste brings to the table. On the face of it him and Sammy could be a good option. | | | |

This is the key issue for me. No-one has managed to click with Morsy like Mass. Evans, Ball, Taylor, Phillips. Trouble is we didn’t get Mass 4 years earlier. |  |

I wonder whether their 'sources' (in bold for some reason) include actual decisionmakers like Ashton or McKenna. Or if it is merely wishful thinking by a Leeds fan. |  |

Absolutely hate this type of nonsense. Philips seems to be a figure the media have jumped on in the last couple of years and trot out the same rubbish about him constantly. Pep's one interview on him has done so much damage for the lad as the media jumped on it liked leaches.
Philips in his own words has said in recent interview on podcast with Bamford that he's for the first time since Leeds hit the fitness numbers he had at Leeds (very tough targets set in Bielsa period) and was really happy with that and you could hear how genuine he was.
Think he has ha decent start for us and whilst not his best games last two that is true of the team and not Philips alone. | |

It’s not so much the media that’s the issue, it’s social media.
This was put out by someone earlier in the week on social media and the BBC have latched on to it.
I’d be very surprised if there is any truth in it.
It’s like when Delap was supposed to be injured for the Southampton game. It did the rounds on social media but there was no substance in it.
Prior to the West Ham game, Phillips had played well.
But you could say that about the entire team.
I very much doubt McKenna will send him back or have issues with his fitness if he’s been starting him in every game. | | | |

You expect better from the BBC... although I guess it is in the 'gossip' section, so it is what it is.
Gossip used to be an often truthful thing spread around by nosey neighbours - now, since social media, it can be anything someone just thought up in their head and then put out into the world. It could even be something maliciously started by a Norwich supporter for all we know! | |

Not "hence" and "why!"
Hence means why.🙄 |
Gemini says you are wrong, on every level.
The two words don't mean the same.
The phrase is widely used.
The phrase is readily understood.
A post on an internet football forum qualifies as informal usage.
Gemini says:
The figure of speech "hence why" is a combination of two words: "hence" and "why." "Hence" is an adverb meaning "therefore," "consequently," or "for this reason." "Why" is an adverb used to introduce a question or reason.
The phrase "hence why" is often used informally to introduce a reason or explanation for something. It's similar to saying "that's why" or "the reason for that is."
Examples:
* "It's raining outside, hence why I'm wearing a raincoat."
* "I'm late because I got lost, hence why I'm apologizing."
* "She's studying hard, hence why she's getting good grades."
While it's a common phrase, some people might argue that it's grammatically incorrect because it combines two words that have different functions. However, it's widely used and understood, so it's generally considered acceptable in informal speech and writing.
Alternatives:
If you want a more formal or grammatically correct alternative, you could use:
* "Therefore"
* "Consequently"
* "As a result"
* "Because"
* "Since"
For example:
* "It's raining outside. Therefore, I'm wearing a raincoat."
* "I got lost. Consequently, I'm late."
* "She's studying hard. As a result, she's getting good grades."
Ultimately, the choice of whether to use "hence why" or a more formal alternative depends on the context and your personal preference. | | | |

I don't think Phillips has been bad per se, I just don't think the partnership of him and Morsy is working too well as it stands. As others have said we look better when Taylor gets on and gives us a bit more running power. |  | | |

I think that's where the question marks re. Phillips naturally appear. Surely we signed Phillips to give us running power alongside Morsy who, with the greatest respect to our Egyptian king, isn't blessed with breakneck acceleration or speed.
Isn't it alarming that Taylor is outshining Phillips in the dynamism stakes?
We're almost ten games in and I feel that's a reasonable sample size to judge Phillips to a decent degree. I'd argue he's had 1 really good game (Villa) and 1 above-average game (Fulham), with the rest being rank average to poor. | | | |

We need him to get up to speed fast and to be our best player pretty much every week. Sounds a lot of pressure but ultimately that is what we are paying £5m over the course of the season for. You expect a 28 year old that was starting in Euros/World Cup games a few years ago and is on the books of Man City to be outshining Sam Morsy.
A long way to go and I think that article is tripe but we've not seen what we thought we were getting yet bar the Villa/Fulham games. | | | |

Is Taylor looking better though because he is coming on later in games? Against Everton he was brought on when Everton were really starting to drop off and let us have the ball, and in general the team as a whole was getting into more advanced positions. He hasn’t started, and it will be interesting to see what happens when he does, but for the moment I think that the comparison is a bit unfair.
I do think that this is a long season, Phillips is still finding his feet, and the subs on Saturday were not so much about getting better players on, but were about getting players on that know each other - hence Chaplin, Taylor, Hirst and H Clarke on and J Clarke, Phillips, Delap and OShea off… | | | |
