‘Shocking’, ‘Doesn’t look right’ – Many Leeds fans worried about player who ‘lost it’ v Hull
Yet another win for Leeds United and this one was much more emphatic than the previous three 1-0s.
It was an odd game, though, with Leeds looking absolutely awful in the first half despite going into the break with a 1-0 lead.
Fans noticed that Kalvin Phillips – back from injury after missing the Middlesbrough game – was not his normal self and many said he still looked injured.
There were calls to take him off at half time but he stayed on and Leeds started off the second half as hot as they did the first.
Thankfully they kept their foot on the pedal in the second period and looked absolutely brilliant as they stormed to a 4-0 win, with Tyler Roberts scoring two off the bench.
Phillips looked better in the second 45 but he definitely wasn’t as involved as much as he is normally – and his intensity noticeably dropped after the first 10-15 minutes of the game.
Hopefully, it’s nothing and Phillips is fine to play the rest of the games this season. He’s got a full week to get 100% fit, then it’s Huddersfield and Cardiff next before a potentially season-defining match against Fulham.
We need prime Phillips for that game.
Meanwhile, here are the reactions from concerned fans…
