I’ve wondered why he disappeared. Sounds like a poor professional
South Gate doesn’t know how to discipline his players, that’s what their lacking.
So Kalvin Philips is not injured
He needs to hit the gym 24/7
Kalvin doesn't know Pep if he thinks he can get away with this unprofessional behavior..
He'll get discarded immediately.
"Who ate all the pies, who ate all the pies…🎵"
Wow he wants em matchstick
the most public private conversation I've seen in a while
I like pep he is a a serious manager no messing about.
Kalvin Phillips is getting good at doing the Hazard impression.
Sell him get bellingham, amarabat sorted.

fat people have feelings too
Imagine getting to Man City and being lazy.. that’s when the hard work really begins!
So Pep's telling us that he's been overweight the whole season ? Coz he's never played a match.
Pep can be arrogant.
Well said Pep, it's not acceptable that a professional footballer is overweight mid season, especially one who has yet to impress and establish himself in the squad/team. Make him train alone, embarrass him for his bad attitude and let it nowhere near the squad, don't want a laize fayre attitude infecting and Champions squad.
Signing of the season no doubt. That Krispy Kreme sponsorship will come in clutch
I don’t think he fancies kalvin tbh

Its BOOOOOOOZE.
Seat on the bench too much🤣🤣😂
They get paid plenty of money to control their diet to do their job.
too many pies in english camp
This guy choose to waste his career the day he choose to go city, been there from summer and still can't get a game
The amount of media sensationalism bait in that line of questioning is ridiculous.
How does a player in a world cup squad of a major football team get overweight coming back…? This is very damning. Nobody was watching his food? What happened to the organization, controls & management of diet? Kalvin must be at least several pounds overweight for Pep to be this irritated enough to be so direct in his response. This muppet was brought in to replace the great Fernandinho. What the heck is this?
Best headline in days – he’s trying to offload him for Rice!
" Why is he overweight", what an asinine question.Ask Kalvin , not Pep.
This is a challenge from Pep. How will you bounce back after your manager calls you out.
Hot baths, good food, and start beasting yourself Kalvin. It'll drop off in a week that weight.
He’s gonna rot at that club like so many others
How to know the player has lost it? -He is overweight. Clubs should be allow to punish the player and violate the contract for overweight players. Its only fair.
This is why Yaya Toure never received his birthday cake.
"Its a Private conversation with Kalvin". After just telling the world he's overweight 😂.
Peps job is to make sure city's players are prepared to perform the job city pay them a lot of money to do ! If he thinks they are not he has every right to say so ! When you are payed to do a job it's not unreasonable to ask you show up ready !
Why is the journalist asking Pep why a player is overweight?
pep is soo odd
Why even offer this publicly? Seems needless.
How can you come back from the world cup and be overweight?
Possibly Philips doesn't have a clue how to play the pep style and he's going to be in the transfer list
And Philips made easy for pep
The reporter asked 'why is he overweight?' Lol come on man
I can understand Pep's frustration. If Kalvin Phillips didn't get time then the heat would fall on Pep when it was completely Phillips fault. Such is the life of a Manager. And what sort of fool asks whether or not its the player's responsibility? Of course its the players responsibility. You already got the nugget you wanted, the nugget you likely weren't expecting, and then you got greedy and asked a stupid question.
Anything above 70 kg isn’t allowed 😢
Hasn’t been doing much the last few months 💀
So what he’s overweight
Never will England win a world cup, overrated paid primadonnas with big plastic lip wags for partners who also do them no favours.
Why are people blaming the England camp? The player knows what he's putting in his body and he knows how much training he's doing.
More likely, Calvin has just come back from a lengthy injury and was never really fit enough to be at the world cup in the first place.
