Despite Kalvin Phillips' poor performance, coach David Moyes still gave the English midfielder the opportunity to start in the away trip to Nottingham Forest's City Ground on the night of February 17.

Kalvin Phillips responded to the coaching staff's faith with a disastrous performance. The former Man City player was even sent off the field after two consecutive yellow cards in the 68th and 71st minutes. With 10 people on the field, West Ham no longer had a chance to turn the game around and accepted a 0- defeat. 2 against lower-rated opponents.

Kalvin Phillips received a red card in the loss to Nottingham Forest

Since joining West Ham on loan from Man City, Kalvin Phillips has not helped the London team win any victories. "Pirlo of Yorkshire" made a mistake that led to a goal in his debut match, causing West Ham to be held to a 1-1 draw by Bournemouth. After that, he and his teammates received 3 consecutive defeats, against Man Utd, Arsenal and Nottingham.

Before loaning Kalvin Phillips to West Ham, coach Pep Guardiola repeatedly expressed his regret. He even apologized to his student for not being able to find a way to help this player develop his abilities at Etihad.

"West Ham is wasting time on Kalvin Phillips, and so are the fans. I see he doesn't want to play at all," former Premier League referee Mike Dean commented on the red card of the West Ham midfielder.

Coach David Moyes has long admired Kalvin Phillips. He wanted to recruit this player, but Man City was quicker.

With Kalvin Phillips, fans once dreamed of a perfect replacement for Declan Rice. However, he became a "trick" that caused the home team at the London Olympic Stadium to slide down the rankings.

After the victory against Arsenal, West Ham went through a series of 6 draws and losses. Currently, coach David Moyes and his team have dropped to 8th place with 38 points, 9 points behind the European Cup position.

On social networks, Kalvin Phillips received a wave of criticism from fans. "Please return him to Man City immediately," one fan commented. "Then Kalvin Phillips will still be called up to the England team for EURO", the second person was bored. "How did Man City spend 50 million euros to buy this guy?" another fan wondered.

To own Kalvin Phillips for 6 months, West Ham also had to pay Man City up to 7 million euros. Players born in 1995 are at risk of not being bought permanently after the 2023/24 season.
