How should Ipswich replace Phillips?
- Published
Former Ipswich defender Mick Mills spoke to BBC Radio Suffolk on the solution to Kalvin Phillips' red card against Leicester City on Saturday: "Cameron Burgess was almost dropping down the pecking order, but he’s come in and he’s been faultless really and he’s played really well.
"I thought that Conor Chaplin got his opportunity last week at Brentford and he took it. He has done the same [against Leicester] and he was probably one of our best players.
"When you look at the central midfield pairing, we had to play last week without Sam Morsy. Cajuste came in, probably earlier than we expected him to [after his injury] and not only did he get his own game going nicely, I thought he had improved Kalvin Phillips. That partnership seems to gel better than the Morsy-Phillips partnership has this season.
"The Morsy and Phillips partnership for me, wasn’t really taking off, that section of the game was behind other areas and it’s a really important area.
"Now all of a sudden it’s going to be Phillips out of the next game because of suspension, you think maybe Morsy-Cajuste could be OK.
"We have got a number of permutations there and a little less worry now that we have seen a number of them come in and play up to the standard, so maybe we will have a decent pairing."
