I told you all, it's the hair. Remember when Ronnie grew his hair out and everybody saw him, and his "lean face" and tha Ronnie was really serious and was going to do damage? And turned out that he was not at his best.
Same thing, Phil is growing his hair out, saying that he trying something "different", but subconsciously it could be that he is tired of it all, and is not putting his best foot forward (not stepping over the line).
