Leeds United fans react to Kalvin Phillips’s performance against Sunderland.

Leeds United fans on Twitter are criticising Kalvin Phillips for his latest performance.

The 22-year-old academy graduate started Saturday’s 1-1 draw with relegation-threatened Sunderland at Elland Road, but lasted only 65 minutes before being replaced by Kemar Roofe.

Phillips made 41 passes throughout his stint on the pitch, but only managed to complete 32 of them, while the youngster was also dispossessed on two occasions.

Like many Leeds players, Phillips’s form has taken a serious nosedive in comparison to his standard during the first few months of the season.

And fans of the West Yorkshire club have singled him out for criticism on Twitter.

Phillips does not seem as much of an attacking asset as he once was during Thomas Christiansen’s reign.

He has a personal best five Championship goals this season, but none in any competition since October.
