Philips needs to be sent out on loan

Pointless. He is pretty much the player he's going to be. From what I've seen of him, he tends to struggle in home fixtures as away side load midfield and get men behind the ball. I can see Klich and Vieira coming into the reckoning now.

I have to disagree on this. I think Phillips has a huge role to play this year at Leeds. Yes he gets criticism from us, including me, for his distribution. But with the way I think TC likes to play, he doesn't want 2 holding players, but instead wants one of the CMs to join the attack. If you then look at the players we have, I don't think we have anyone who does this job better than Phillips at the moment. Yes Vieira is a better all round CM, but is more of an 'enforcer' and breaks up the play brilliantly. Bridcutt is defensive and Klich is unknown at the moment. We should be getting behind ALL players, but always seem to have scapegoats ready (Cooper and Phillips) . Anyway was a good point yesterday, and let's hope for the same performance against Sunderland. MOT

Rubbish, agree Viera and Phillips should be rotated but he does the job he is asked to do, unlike Wood shall we send him out on loan. I did not see the game but stats gave him a seven. Klitch should play a part but no one knows how well he will do. Midfield places still to be sorted but it is a team game and to say Phillips is not good enough is delusional.
