Conjo Posted October 8 Share Posted October 8 I think Murphy has done better at RW than Gordon & Barnes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leadership team status just seems to be awarded to anyone who wants to stay here regardless of whether they are good enough. We were trying to find roles for Matt Ritchie and Paul Dummett at one point. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

buzza Posted October 19 Share Posted October 19 He is having a good game, really effective for his level and cannot expect any more from him. Harvey on and gordon to the right after 60 mins Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Novocastrian Posted October 19 Share Posted October 19 When he’s got the ball wide right he has an incredible knack of placing himself at the worst possible angle to cross or pass to a team mate. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newcastle Fan Posted October 19 Share Posted October 19 I don't mind Murphy as a squad player and he was part of a lot of the good we did in the last few years but not signing a proper RW this window was a criminal decision. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aiston Posted October 19 Share Posted October 19 Should be dropped and almiron on for a few starts. (We won't start Barnes and Gordon) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JigsawGoesToPieces Posted October 19 Share Posted October 19 Was pretty much annonymous today, not really someone who should be anywhere near the matchday squad, would be a decent starter for a promoted team maybe but needs moving on asap Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted October 19 Share Posted October 19 (edited) Had one of his championship games today. Miggy was in team of the round from the South American games as well. Guess he hasn’t been training. Edited October 19 by AyeDubbleYoo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilko Posted October 19 Share Posted October 19 Love him as a squad option but I don't get why he starts ahead of Barnes, unless there's a fitness issue we don't know about. Today was one of the days where he stood out like a sore thumb for his lack of consistent quality. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallowgate Toon Posted October 19 Share Posted October 19 I really do wonder what he offers when he's probably the 'worst' of the wingers. He can have very useful moments but he's ultimately limited in possession and not amazing at pressing or tracking. It feels like you could justify his inclusion if he was world class at one thing but he's nowhere near it, outside of having a canny early cross at times. I'd maybe understand it more against 'big teams' if he's good at following tactical instructions or something, but surely a weakened Brighton at home means you can go for it more from the off.

Scoot Posted October 19 Share Posted October 19 Far too many attacks broke down because of him today. Said it before but he's a good squad player to have but we MUST upgrade on him in January. It's painfully obvious he's a weak link. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Said it before but he's a good squad player to have but we MUST upgrade on him in January. It's painfully obvious he's a weak link. Yeah. He started alright. But he often wanted an extra touch and just slowed everything down, let Brighton players get back and then he’d just pass back inside, anyway. Complete failure of the club and/or Howe that he is still starting games at RW and Almiron seems to be the second choice. He’s no better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rod Posted October 19 Share Posted October 19 I haven't even looked at any comments today but how is this bloke getting on the pitch before Barnes? I don't honestly understand it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted October 19 Share Posted October 19 Barnes is useless on the right to be fair. Excellent finisher but he’s a very limited player. Why RW has consistently been passed over as priority position is beyond me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanji Posted October 20 Share Posted October 20 I’m still convinced that you could make Barnes have a Pedro style role of basically last shoulder on the right side cutting in behind and he’d be useful. Shoot on sight. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it’s mental 3 years into the takeover and we’re still having Murphy on the RW ffs Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why RW has consistently been passed over as priority position is beyond me. Howe won’t do it and I think he sulks when he plays there. But why not move Gordon to the right? When he gets in behind, his cutbacks and crosses should be a lot better. Plus he might seem more interested in getting to the byline and not just cutting in. Even if it takes something away from Gordon’s game and the team as a whole. Nobody can convince me Barnes on the bench and Murphy or Almiron on the right is the better option.
