Kalvin Phillips likely to exit Man City in January

It is expected that Kalvin Phillips, who made the move from Leeds United to Man City last season, will depart from Manchester in the January transfer window due to a lack of game time.

When asked on the matter, Guardiola had the following to say:

"Kalvin , exceptional in many things. Why he doesn't play? Rodri, key for us...".

"Never, ever makes one action against mates that play, or a bad face, training bad. I'd love to give him as much minutes as possible".

Key Points:

  • Has only played 15 times since joining City

  • Risks losing England place due to lack of game time

  • For City, January may be the most to recoup as much money as possible

In brief: The article discusses Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta's animated post-match interview after his team's loss to Newcastle and how such interviews have become a captivating aspect of modern football, contributing to the drama and soap opera-like nature of the sport.

It highlights the growing trend of managers expressing outrage, conspiracy theories, and a focus on emotions rather than rational discussion in these interviews.

Key Points:

  • Post-match manager interviews have evolved into using them to express strong emotions, regardless of facts or rationality.

  • Mikel Arteta's recent outburst reflects a trend where managers often shift the blame away from themselves and onto external factors

  • Managerial reactions like this is likely to continue, providing ongoing content and discourse

What to Look for Next:
