The Phillips of last season was streets ahead of what Conor is now and I was one of Conor's biggest fans when he was here.
Unlike Herbie… Quick note some off the cuff remarks are just a joke not meant as an attack on the heir to Cruyff.
Doesn’t that miss the point though? Conor, who I loved, was playing in a different type of team, surrounded by, in my opinion, better players (particularly a certain Mr Hammill), and a less possession-based approach. Whatever else Kane’s detractors may accuse him of, he very rarely loses possession and, in my opinion, he is our hardest- working player. He also pops up with a goal and assist or two. He’s not a Conor, that’s definitely true, but neither are Styles, Russell, Phillips or even Connell for that matter.
chucked an egg at Bernard once before such things could get you arrested for terrorism. Hard to miss his fat mush but still satisfying.
probably something in that though he had drifted out of form at the end of last season in all fairness
I agree his form dipped back end of last season but his goals and assists stats were miles infront of any other midfielder over the season. Hasn't really had a run of games since the suspension under Collins. Good players don't turn bad overnight.
yeah I’d agree with all of that. Getting him firing is the difference between promotion and bring an also ram imo
His suitability shouldn’t be judged on the player he was it should be on the player he is. Do any of us know?
