Former Premier League referee Mike Dean has criticized West Ham United midfielder Kalvin Phillips for the foolishness of his red card in the match against Nottingham Forest. Nuno Espirito Santo’s team emerged victorious with a 2-0 win, but Phillips let himself and his team down by receiving a red card. Dean was far from impressed as he analyzed the red card incident involving Phillips, who has struggled since joining West Ham on loan from Manchester City in January. Discussing Phillips’ reckless actions leading to his dismissal, Dean stated, “After being cautioned for an unnecessary altercation with (Nicolas) Dominguez, he proceeded to catch (Morgan Gibbs-White) on the top of the foot just two minutes later. It was an idiotic second yellow card. He is wasting his time on the pitch and appears disinterested.” Phillips must quickly turn his performance around if he hopes to regain a spot in the England squad for Euro 2024 this summer. The 28-year-old was a regular player for the Three Lions during his tenure at Leeds United, but his lack of playing time at Manchester City has seemingly affected his form, as he appears rusty and far from his best for West Ham.
