Nothing against him personally but all he seems to do is hesitate and give the ball away We struggle to influence the game form the bench, that needs to change Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miggys First Goal Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 Would rather keep Fraser and get rid of Murphy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 Horrible game to have to bring him on. Arsenal's press and closing down are not suited to his holding onto the ball too long and lack of physicality in duels. Terrifying watching him out there when he came on.

Oregon_Geordie Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 Agree, he's so bad. Limited and just running around doing nothing. Didn't even attack the ball at the back post for that chance. File with Wood under shit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 That fucking cross. At least put a decent ball in the box, man; at least make it headerable. Nice lad but yeah, been ages since he put a decent performance in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 He’s so bad. When he gave the ball away with his first few touches, you knew a disaster class was pending. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 I don't like to slate players too much, but he's just not Premier League standard. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiLvOR Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 Unfortunately for him, he's not good enough for where we want to be, even as a squad player. Frustrating that he's usually relied upon to come off the bench and make something happen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gbandit Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 It’s his weakness that annoys me the most, not his poor finishing or lack of quality. It’s how easily he gets brushed off the ball when he has it, when he loses 50-50s or the ball when it’s his to be won and how he doesn’t challenge for the ball like everyone else in the squad Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

80 Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 One of the few players that seems to have gone backwards rather than forwards this season, unfortunately. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weezertron Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 We all know his limitations, add to that playing against the league leaders. He sounds like a great person to have in the squad. I can't remember where I read how much he contributes to team spirit. Probably go in the summer I think. I love the Newcastle link, so it's disappointing that he never cut it.

Pilko Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 Crap when he came on. He's so weak, gets muscled off the ball constantly. And when he got opportunities to cross they were laughable overhits. We'll turn draws into wins when our first two off the bench aren't Wood and this joker. Bit of quality on and we start to nick games like this one some of the time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamjk007 Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 Everytime he comes on he literally offers nothing, i just don't get what Howe see's in him? No football brain, cant pass a ball, cant beat a player. I'm sick of screaming at the TV every time this lad comes on, has to be moved on in the summer.

1892er Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 Murphy sometimes bursts down the wing looks the part for a few seconds and then remembers he's Murphy and puts the most awful cross in ever. Rinse and repeat. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
