Barely anyone, and his confidence has grown enough that he occasionally tries to take it past his man now. Made up for him how much he’s made of his career, ridiculously impressive He's come a ridiculously long way like hasn't he? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Posted October 21, 2025 Share Posted October 21, 2025 He is the best winger in the clubs history. better than Ginola, Robert, Solano Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fountain Posted October 21, 2025 Share Posted October 21, 2025 If 5 years ago someone had said Jacob Murphy would be playing in the CL for Newcastle you'll have had him sectioned. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted October 21, 2025 Share Posted October 21, 2025 He’s very effective and is being used perfectly. Still prone to some fairly inexplicable mistakes at times, but can’t deny he makes his impact. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nufcjmc Posted October 21, 2025 Share Posted October 21, 2025 That bendy pass/low cross he does put in at pace which the rat benefited from last season is so nice on the eyes. Also has a good thunder cunt of a strike on him great display. Hard to argue him not continuing to be our starter out on that side despite putting barnes out there working this game with his 2 goals (dont remember it working so well for Harvey out there last season), Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benwell Lad Posted October 21, 2025 Share Posted October 21, 2025 At some point in time the consensus has to become that he's not just a peripheral player but arguably one of our most important (effective) players.

Such people prate without understanding aught of which they're saying. But will they own up to the fact or come in here on bended knee seeking forgiveness? Can I like this just for the use of the word “choad”? Underrated abusive term. Spoiler Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then after he'd been dropped he'd go, "Will you come back?" and Murphy would go, "Sure, how much money you got? This is gonna cast ya. This is gonna cost ya".

Love him in the final third. Everywhere else on the pitch he scares the living daylights out of me on the ball. Yesterday was a great game for him to play in. Benfica were low intensity and sat off us and allowed us to play, and these are the sorts of conditions where he should be in the team. Any opposition that looks to press us and apply pressure, and personally, I don't really want him on the pitch. It ends up being almost impossible to do anything down the right side as we can't even advance the ball down that flank. Newcastle vs Bournemouth last season at home when we got smashed 4-1 is the perfect example of this sort of instance. Any success this season will largely be influenced by making the right call on who to play on the right side, depending on the opposition. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as we are prepared to see him as an important squad player, then he can always play his part in the season. I don't see him as undroppable though. There'll be times when his general play and crossing ability are what we need, and there'll be times when we need pace and a direct threat down that side.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted October 22, 2025 Share Posted October 22, 2025 Agree, another problem is that with Burn at LB it's not fluid down the left at times either. I've gone from a hater to a fan of Murphy but he still really worries me at times. Try not to focus on his errors though, his contributions have become vital to us.
