Phillips does this a lot. He is never in games. Hard to knock our most potent goal threat and clearly a talent but I think he’s lazy.
Phillips definitely comes across as a luxury player. When we're dominating games he's everywhere, and obviously if he bags a goal or an assist you can forgive his struggles elsewhere.
In a game like this though where we sorely need a player to get their foot on the ball and dictate the game, he's not that player at all. I was posting about it before and everyone disagreed with me, but I don't think we can afford to play Wildig and Phillips, especially with CMG who I think is also a bit lightweight. When the game's going against you, they're not the players to grab it by the scruff of the neck and turn it around.
