How many did Almiron have in his whole career with us?

I’m sure there was a stat where he hadn’t provided an assist for Wilson in the whole time they played together - not sure if he eventually did. 
 

Murph puts 2 chances on Isak’s boot every game.

He went full George Caulking in that article.

 

Not a fan at all of his style of writing, reads more like something you would have read in a fanzine years ago. It has it's place, just don't think it belongs in a broadsheet.

 

Will be interesting to see if Murphy can use the current high praise he's getting to kick on for the second half of the season and put to rest all this talk of his form being patchy.

Absolute bollocks he doesn’t get that assist like. Who was he passing it to? Isak. Who did it go to? Isak. Surely irrelevant that the defender got a tiny touch on it first. 
 

Like putting every slightly deflected shot down as an OG.

 

I understand (to a point) instances like the Isak worldy ‘non-assist’ at Everton, cos he was probably passing that to Wilson and it ended up with Murphy. But if it goes to the player you’re passing it to…


I might be wrong. But I’m sure both this one and Hall’s v Man U have not been classed as assists. But last time I looked. Salah’s v West Ham counted even though it comes off a West Ham player before getting to Gakpo. 

Fuck knows.

Murphy to Isak is automatic. 
 

Said it a while back. I’d love to see how many crosses and passes into the box he makes per game?
 

We don’t really have anyone else who does that in the squad. So even with his flaws. He massively suits this team.

Yep, add me to that list.  That Hornby-inflected writing style just bores me.
