It was a tap in from 3 yards, he’s hardly sent one into the top corner from 20 yards. Let’s not get ahead of ourselves ey…
No he didn’t. Fred’s tackle on Coutinho put the ball into Ramsey.
Strange post because Phil will always score those 20 yard screamers. If he starts tapping them in as well your looking at 10-15 goals from midfield. Fact is his team was 2-0 down he cane on and played a hand in both goals.
He wasn't the right character for the mega clubs. He's a really shy lad and not one to carry the club the size of Barca.
There will be screamers to come from Phil but in a way that's a given. It's what he does. The question is would that have been good for us? Or was the water under the bridge too much.
In my opinion if we didn't sell Phil we don't go on to win Europe and the league so I can easily forgive his departure.
The money we got from him would never have been available under FSG reign without that cash. If we had the chance to add Phil back into the side that now contains Virgil and Allison then you've got the best of both worlds. It would have probably sealed Barcas humiliation.
If only Phil was on the end of our very own tap in and not Taki on Thursday we'd be 1 goal ahead in our semi final tie.
