Phillips needs to start ahead of Morsy 18:13 - Feb 15 with 1875 views | Chrisd | A fantastic point today. There’s no doubt Morsy has been great for us since he joined, but for me Phillips is the better midfield option in there with Cajuste. When he plays like he did today, Phillips offers more than what our skipper does when he plays. Sentiment needs to go out the window regarding team selection and we play our best XI from now until the end of the season and for me Phillips needs to start. |  |

That’s his game. He’s more mobile than Morsy and gives us something more in that midfield. KM will stick with Morsy because he’s our captain, but he’ll be leaving the better player on the bench. |  |

I'm sorry but giving away stupid free kicks on the edge of our box shouldn't be anyone's game. He was decent overall, but let's not get carried away when his clumsiness led to the opposition's goal, and wasn't the first time he did that either. Either be quicker or don't dive in. |  |

So Morsy doesn’t?! Take your blue specs off and look at it honestly. If you think Morsy is the better option you’re wrong. |  |

But the OP is stating that Phillips would be better starting than Morsy, not that he is perfect. Morsy has struggled in the last few games, and has given away similar free kicks and a penalty. |  | |  |

His game is being slow into the tackle and giving away 3 freekicks in shooting positions, one of which they scored from? He did fine in general but this seems more like a narrative decided on before kickoff. SB |  | |  | Login to get fewer ads

Fack me, this thread is full of them. Another who needs to read what I've written; I've made no comment on Morsy. I've made a comment on what Phillips does a lot of, which he needs to cut out. And if he does I'll be eulogising about him as well. |  |

Chuckle, I can read just fine thank you. For what it's worth I don't disagree with you but simply stated that the OP thought that Phillips is currently a better option in the middle than Morsy, especially considering Morsy's recent form, but if you feel like taking offence at that then not a lot I can do about it. |  | |  |

The Op is referring Phillips is a better fit Your referring not when he makes silly free kicks that lead to a goal, I'm referring it's no different to morys kicking out giving away penalty which cost a goal, I think we can all read, Your not understanding what your writing or implying, |  | |  |

I don't take offence at that. I was just offering some balance to the OP talking about "When he plays like he did today" because he seemed to have forgotten Phillips' mistakes, one of which led to their goal. That's all I was commenting on. He may well be right that Phillips is the better option but, again, I didn't comment on that part of his post (and didn't downarrow it either). Was just adding some context, given he was commenting on today's game. I thought I'd been clear on which bit I was commenting on, but maybe not! |  |

I thought Phillips was solid, not spectacular, and like you I was frustrated with his giving away too many free kicks in dangerous positions (which were always likely to lead to conceding a goal). However, without a decent run of games, it must be difficult for him to become fully match fit and an effective cog in the team, particularly forging a partnership with Cajuste. I would like to see him start the next 3 or 4 games alongside Cajuste, with Morsy replacing Cajuste if he can't complete the 90 minutes. It may be that we'll then see an improvement in those fouls, or at least the number and position of them. I can't quite believe I'm saying this, having been a massive fan of Morsy ever since he joined the club, however I agree with the OP that, at the moment, I would like to see Phillips start ahead of Morsy. |  | |  |
