Kalvin Phillips is putting up no fight in losing battle to Rodri at Man City after Leeds mistakeKalvin Phillips isn’t fit, Pep Guardiola isn’t happy and Rodri continues to be brilliant. The £42m move from Leeds looks more perverse by the day.
But any satisfaction at being proved right was tinged with the inevitability of him not staying at Leeds much longer. Roughly half of that game time came at the World Cup, where he was handed pity minutes by Gareth Southgate having been comprehensively usurped in midfield by Jude Bellingham, before he returned to City to bethat he was “not in the best condition to train and play”. This move really hasn’t gone very well.
Fernandinho played close to every minute he was available for before Rodri arrived. To play games of football as a defensive midfielder for Guardiola, you have to be the best defensive midfielder. City have had three further players in that position in Guardiola’s time at the club – Fernando, Fabian Delph and Douglas Luiz – who have combined to start eight Premier League games in that position, for a total of 907 minutes in Guardiola’s six-and-a-half seasons at the club.
