I'm probably on my own in this but I don't get the Phillips hype if I'm
Honest, defensively I'm far from convinced. Don't think Willis is an RB as its not his game to get forward etc but rather have him than Phillips in the side maybe an option to bring on when chasing the game & not wanting to fully change the formation.
Is this something that needs to be addressed? General opinion is that Willis is solid at RB if unspectacular and is obviously a natural CB. Every time Phillips plays the general opinion is that he is 'class' but why doesn't Phillips start every game regularly? Everytime he comes on to cover for injuries he performs well so why isn't he now our number 1 RB?
It's a no to shifting ricketts for me, against any sort of pace at right back he would be left for dead, Willis is a good defender and has the pace to go head to head with most wingers.I like Willis but he needs to play CB, he can fill in though. I also do really, really like Phillips. My issue is they're both a bit inexperienced when they face a winger who's proper class in this league, however they are thankfully few and far between. We should be fine, but you never know! If we play a tricky player maybe shift Ricketts across and have Willis CB.

I wonder if Tony Mowbray was at that match we seem to be interested in half of both their U21 squads according to the gossip.Captained their U21 side against spurs today
In a poor side, with a joke manager i agree, having said that i'm more than okay with Willis to be honest.For right back? Worse than Phillips and Willis in that position.

About to watch the under 21s looking forward to seeing Kelly Evans, agree about Philips, yet to be convinced.
Haven't got a clue, playing a lone role up top in a 4-5-1Any idea who the trialist is?
Is he the big African fella who played the other week ?Haven't got a clue, playing a lone role up top in a 4-5-1
Don't think so, not that big. If he comes over this side will try and get a picIs he the big African fella who played the other week ?
the only threat in the 1st half was down the left - constant poor deliveries in however meant no danger
There was no threat at all in the 2nd half
this may or may not be to do with the half time change

I agree. These days fans get excited by full backs who attack and cannot defend.
Phillips defensively looks suspect. It's the Haynes vs Stokes debate. Stokes is limited but can defend. The hype over Haynes was a joke based on a couple of attacking bursts. He will struggle to survive in the game - he is a very very poor defender.
Wasn't that after the 4-1 JPT win over York?Don't forget that Chris Hussey was once compared to Gareth Bale by the experts on here

Pennington wouldn't get in front of Reda and Ricketts based on Saturday's performance

Joe Royal is in charge of loaning players out at Everton and is a big pal of our Tone of TM wants Pennington. I think he'll get him.
