Guest Basso's Aerobics Instructor Posted January 6, 2006 Report Share Posted January 6, 2006 Hi everyone. Long time reader of this forum, first time poster. Deliberated on my username for a while, but it looks like it won't be out of date any time soon after Phillips' shock decision. A brave decision from him in my opinion, seeing as he stands to gain a lot of money from his testimonial this season. Would be sad to see him go if he does, although he was poor at commanding his area he was an excellent shot stopper and didn't make too many simple mistakes, up until this season. I doubt Johnson has seen the best of Phillips, but as Basso's aerobics instructor, I'd like to take some credit for the no 1's form this season. COME ON YOU REDS!

Guest ashtonyate Posted January 6, 2006 Report Share Posted January 6, 2006 Phillips is upset to be made a scap goat for the 9 defeats I still would have him in the team over basso. I think he will be sourley missed. Basso may be the new kid on the block but his kicking is poor and a 30 year old who was struggling find a club makes you think he is not all that he is cracked up to be I think johnson is wrong with his treament of Phillips and Phillips should to made to fell he is wanted by the club.

fct Posted January 6, 2006 Report Share Posted January 6, 2006 I think Phillips needed a kick up the 'arris; he was playing in a comfort zone with no challenge. His shot stopping was superb but in the air he was, and still is, a nightmare. How many goals over the past 5 seasons had City conceeded from corners or free kicks? At dead-ball situations the goalkeeper becomes a key player. Phillips was found wanting in many of those situations and that's purely down to his 'dracula' syndrome: he is scared of crosses.If Phillip's reaction to being dropped is this, then the manager made the right decision.

If I had been in the same position at work, I would have been hell bent on proving everyone wrong by working twice as hard and showing them that they had made a duff decision.What I wouldn't have done is show that I have an over inflated ego by stamping my foot and going home crying.
