SiLvOR Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 A constant offender when it comes to wasting chances, and good positions. Need to sign some wide forwards to push him down the pecking order. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nucasol Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 Tries hard but so would I if I got the chance. He’s a good knock for a mid-table Championship team wanting a Playoff push but if he hangs around it’ll be like Sammy Ameobi playing for us in Europe all over again.

Amir_9 Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 The minute the ball gets to him in a dangerous area his feet start going like they're in quicksand and the decision is wrong 9 times out of 10 Should have been offloaded long long ago.

Chris_R Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 (edited) I was screaming at him to drive forward when he had that one on one but he just jogged slowly until another few defenders got back. It was tragic but encapsulates him as a footballer. He just doesn't know what to do with a football. Edited January 7, 2023 by Chris_R Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
King HTT III Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 (edited) I don’t want to hate on any of our players really because they all seem canny players and I do believe they give their all, well now under Howe. But starting the likes of Murphy, Wood, Lewis, Manquillo who had a good first half to be fair, Ritchie, and even Longstaff and Lascelles isn’t going to cut it if we want to be a top team. They all need peddled in reality. Isak, out for a few months, showed more class and movement than Wood in his cameo for fuck’s sake. Bruno showed instantly and Trippier when they come on the gulf in class. Having that back 4 made Botman, an outstanding player, look dross. It’s not good enough and as a club we now need to start thinking like this because you can guarantee Man City wouldn’t accept a Lascelles or a Ritchie or a Lewis or Murphy or a Wood even when they were first starting off on their trajectory. Thanks Ashley, big couple of transfer windows ahead obviously! Edited January 7, 2023 by King HTT III Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theregulars Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 It’s time to move on from this guy. He’s had so many chances and been with us for years, his contribution just isn’t what’s required. Don’t give a fuck that he has a big funny mouth and supports Newcastle, he isn’t good enough. Most infuriating aspect of him today was mentality. Looked intimidated and like he didn’t want to be there. When he was out through 1 on 1 he just stood there waiting to be tackled, and the attempted lob was inexplicable. I ask the same question I’ve asked of other players: would he get minutes in another premier league side? I’m not sure he would. Perhaps Bournemouth, Southampton or forest, but even then as a substitute most likely. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Numbers Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 He's shite, perfect example of the kind of player we need to get shot of. Wouldn't get a game for any other PL side. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitley mag Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 Looked out of his depth against a league 1 side absolutely nothing about him. The way he plays the game is brain dead and he’s weak as piss absolute embarrassment for a PL footballer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 I don' know what level this guy has to play at to feel comfortable. Feels like even an U-15 game where he was towering above everyone else would feel like a burden if it was a cup final. He should have ripped them apart today.

RS Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 The way he ambled onto that through ball was enough to say he’s a waste of a shirt. Get rid asap. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonas Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 Athleticism, pace and maybe the ability to take instruction defensively - whatever ability he has its not as a footballer. Feels harsh to attack someone who just isn't very good but the wasting a guilt edged opportunity in that one on one to deploy his only attributes and on top of that to dawdle so long, be so unaware that people will get back was total lost cause stuff and not remotely untypical.

Slim Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 All these people kicking off who would you play instead? Obviously he's not good enough but without buying a new player not sure who else we can play. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 Just now, The Prophet said: He's put in a couple of woeful shifts of late. It's not asking that much to do something off the bench or against lower division oppositon surely? Pretty hard to perform low with such little expectation, yet he still seems to manage it.

TheBrownBottle Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 Feel for the lad tbh. He grafts and tries, obviously he isn’t good enough. But he’s one of our own - another for whom a move in the summer would be best for both parties. I think he’d do a good job for a good second tier side.

The Prophet Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 Murphy was actually looking quite useful off the bench pre-World Cup too. It goes without saying that he needs upgrading, but shifting him will be tough on that juicy six year contract. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
