‘Head and shoulders above everyone’ – Some Leeds fans react to official Ch’ship tweet about ace
Leeds United fans do not need to be prompted to suggest that Kalvin Phillips is the best player in the whole of the EFL.
But, when they do get asked, there is no hesitation from supporters who jump to wax lyrical about the 24-year-old midfielder.
Phillips has been a sensation for Leeds this season and has played a key role in them being top of the Championship table with nine matches to play.
He is arguably the most improved player at Elland Road since Marcelo Bielsa was appointed in charge of the club almost two years ago and that is apparent in video game Football Manager 2020.
Phillips’ in-game stats suggest that he is the best player in the whole of the EFL.
The Championship’s official Twitter account has now asked football fans if they agree with Phillips being the best player outside of the Premier League in England.
In the replies there are a lot of West Brom fans mentioning Matheus Pereira while Fulham goal machine Aleksandar Mitrovic has also received a lot of praise.
However none of the mentions about those two players stacks up to how many Leeds fans have been saying that Phillips is the best the EFL has to offer and here is a selection of their tweets:
