What Kalvin Phillips did when all his West Ham teammates had gone down the tunnel before Tottenham match
Kalvin Phillips hit the headlines after West Ham suffered a 4-3 defeat on Tyneside last week.
The England international was introduced by David Moyes as West Ham l🌞ed Newcastle 3-1 at St James’ Park.
However, the Magpies eve𒅌ntually turned it around to win 4-3 in a comeback that was ignited by Phillips g🍌iving away a penalty, to make the scoreline 3-2.
Angry supporters called the Manchester City loanee “useless” as he entered the We🧜st Ham bus, which provoked the 28-year-old into responding with an unsightly hand gesture.
Now, there was another interaction between Kalvin Phillips and West Ham fans 𓃲before Tuesday’s 1-1 draw against Tottenham…
What Kalvin Phillips did before West Ham 1-1 Tottenham
Well, the Yorkshireman was seemingly keen to mak🎃e amends for his hand gesture.
As other West Ham players returning to the dressing room at the London Stadium after their warm up, Phillips could be seen hanging around to🌟 sig෴n autographs and take pictures with supporters.
The mom✃ent was also noticed by Darren Fletcher on commentary duty for .
“There is Kalvin Phillips being applauded by the supporters, and he did stop to sign some autographs and have some pictures taken when the others went in. I think it was a bit of a PR exercise based on what happened at t🐽he weekend, but full credit to him for staying out and doing that a🐬nd spending a bit of time with the West Ham supporters.”
In fairness to the man, this was nice to see.
Phillips must have been all over the place after last week’s 4-3 defeat to Newcastle, and surely felt guilty having kickstarted the comeback with that foul on Gordon, which Chris Sutton felt was definitely a penalty.
Footballers are ꦜonly human, and his reaction to being called “useless” was a natural one.
What matters is that Phillips clearly cares about not wanting to be seen in such a negative light by West Ham fans, and immed🍰iaౠtely sought to put things right at the London Stadium on Tuesday.
Tough to see
Phillips made just Premier League starts for Manchester City in tꦆhe space of 18 months – so it was always going to be a big ask for him to immediately resume the levels he showed at Leeds.
Of course, he could have cut out a few silly mistakes since joinin♒g the Hammers, 🐬but we feel he is simply shaking off the cobwebs, and there is still a top footballer in there somewhere.
Hopefully, Phillips can show West Ham fans just how good he really is between now and the en🐓d of the season.
