Ex-ref Dean slams West Ham midfielder Phillips

Former Premier League referee Mike Dean has upset some supporters with his punditry.

The ex-referee was giving his opinions on how players were performing while on Sky Sports Soccer Saturday.

However, many viewers felt that Dean was only there to give his expertise on refereeing.

Dean stated about Kalvin Phillips of West Ham, who was harsh to get two yellow cards against Nottingham Forest: "He's wasting his time playing, he just doesn't even look interested."

Phillips, on-loan from Manchester City, has struggled in his first games for the Irons.
