wormy Posted Friday at 00:50 Share Posted Friday at 00:50 That chances created per 90 is disgusting. I love him. Never a world beater. Hell, no matter how good a shift he'd put in I never wanted him to be a regular starter. The kind of player whose weaknesses shine through from an extended run. But he's sure as hell earned his spot so far this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep getting underestimated no matter what this guy. Edited Friday at 05:33 by Displayname Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menace Posted Friday at 06:50 Share Posted Friday at 06:50 Happy he's hitting some form in a position we're seriously lacking. Yeah he's limited, yeah we need an upgrade, but if he can maintain this form until we find a better starter - everyone wins. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strikes the ball well a lot of the time, just particularly unlucky.

RS Posted Friday at 10:03 Share Posted Friday at 10:03 He’s consistently inconsistent. For every decent thing he does there about 5 “ffs” moments. Seems like a nice lad though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Butcher Posted Friday at 10:12 Share Posted Friday at 10:12 Can't believe he's turning 30 in less than two months. Acts and plays like a 23 year old Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyt Posted Friday at 11:23 Share Posted Friday at 11:23 Him hitting the crossbar and also passing to Isak when he was offside instead of shooting felt like it summed him up a bit. Can't help but love him though and he's certainly contributed to our change in fortunes. Keep going Jacob Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lotus Posted Friday at 11:27 Share Posted Friday at 11:27 Worth his (hopefully low) wages as a squad player. Sets the benchmark for effort and team ethic for whoever comes in. But, a clever player-maker in his position would make us very scary indeed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted Friday at 11:55 Share Posted Friday at 11:55 You can see when a game is tight where his problems lie, he just doesn't have the speed of thought or technical ability under pressure to play the cute stuff that Tonali, Bruno or even Gordon can. To be fair, even Joelinton can struggle with this aspect but Joelinton gets away with it because he can physically hold people off where as Murphy can't. Once a game opens up, his pace, crossing and shooting is really decent. We need someone of a different class to play there long term but credit to him for making the most of this chance.

Emotic Posted Saturday at 09:22 Share Posted Saturday at 09:22 Look at the match cam and he's chatting animatedly with the wee mascot as the team is being led out and afterwards crouching down with a big grin on his face next to the mascot. He's just a big happy kid revelling in his purple patch and I love him for that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zero Posted Saturday at 09:30 Share Posted Saturday at 09:30 Glad that he stepped up these few weeks. Hope his form continues till the end of this season - we need a result badly Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heron Posted yesterday at 22:38 Share Posted yesterday at 22:38 (edited) Everyone rants and raves about Mbuemo but Murphy has played half the game time and contributed to 75% of the same amount of goals this season.

Newcastle Fan Posted 19 minutes ago Share Posted 19 minutes ago Absolutely terrible today on the ball, don't think he's done anything right but did a very good job tracking back and defending when needed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye.. just goes to bits generally against the 'bigger' clubs. Great when he has time on the ball out wide but should never try to come inside for a pass.

He’ll do the hard yards and make sure there’s a body in way against the big teams. If everyone else is doing their job offensively he’s the sort of player who is worth their weight in gold.
