wormy Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 Just needs time. Rubbish hes absolutely shocking much in the same mould as all the cheap shit buys that we have accumulated....Joselu,Manquillo,Diame,Perez...All absolutely piss poor and not strong enough for this division We have been beaten by teams we expect to compete with heaven help us when we play teams that attack us wave after wave away from home We'll probably be better given that's what we're set up to beat. It's as if people haven't watched our games other than Burnley, Brighton and Huddersfield. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cronky Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 I've not seen anything from him yet that's going to worry Premiership defenders. Decent athlete but his touch on the ball looks dodgy is my early impression. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmojorisin75 Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 Seems to me he's just another in a long line of victims of our shite transfer policy and crap spending. Players like him should be coming in with nothing expected and allowed to slowly build up to getting in the squad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrickTop Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 He's barely played so hard to judge him, and unfair to. My initial impression is that he doesn't seem up to it, but that could myriad reasons. He seems scared to take people on atm. He's obviously a bit tense, like the first day at a new job. The narrative around signing him and connections to the north east are probably adding to the pressure and what he thinks everybody expects of him. Once he loosens up a bit he will be fine, his game is taking players on and taking shots at goal. Him feeling tense takes away both of those things, or atleast makes them a lot harder. Just hope our fans give him the time and support he needs. Couldn't agree more with this. He looks completely devoid of confidence, that's all. Watching him for Norwich and England U21 he obviously has the talent that Rafa has seen he just needs time in the first XI. My prediction is he'll become the player we were expecting in the latter stages of this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
xLiaaamx Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 Sammy Ameobi's running looked better with the ball than Murphy tbh. Expected more. Might aswell have bought a number 10 with the money. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My prediction is he'll become the player we were expecting in the latter stages of this season. Yeah definitely, I'm not alarmed at all. He's probably just overthinking it a bit when he makes it onto the pitch, wanting to make an impression so much. As soon as he feels more comfortable and gets out of his head a bit, we'll start to see his talent come through and more fluidity return to his game. All it will take is one good appearance from him where he takes a player on or gets a good shot at goal and the confidence comes rushing back. Just need our fans to stick behind him, no moans or groans when he makes the inevitable errors! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 Murphy hasn't shown anywhere near the amount of flair Sammy did, tbf. The latter was winning us League Cup games when he was 20. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 He doesn't look impressive, but then again he's never going to do anything being used in the way he is now. It's a tricky situation given we can't afford to take to many risks this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The latter was winning us League Cup games when he was 20. He hasn't had anywhere near the amount of game time Sammy did either. Murphy's been winning Championship games, just not with us.

Newcastle Fan Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 I think Aarons deserves a chance ahead of this guy, he looks scared of playing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papavasiliou Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 I think Aarons deserves a chance ahead of this guy, he looks scared of playing. Sounds like Obertan. Always looked like he was scared to run at defenders despite definitely being fast enough to just simply hit is past them and run onto it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Figures 1-0 Football Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 At home to Bournemouth in a game that we’d expect to be on top and win is the perfect opportunity to play him. Don’t think he will play, obviously, but it’s probably the best chance for him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

afar Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 I think Aarons deserves a chance ahead of this guy, he looks scared of playing. What's Aarons done to say he deserves a chance? He did look a little more focused for the last u23 game, than he had previously. Both Atsu and Ritchie had poor games at Burnley from a final ball perspective (although Atsu did make some good runs, just lacked that final ball) and they both need to step up their contributions on that game. But you would be a mad person to change either one of them out with Murphy or Aarons right now, firmly believe Murphy's time will come though, not sure if Aarons will ever be Rafa's cup of tea though.
