Newcastle Fan Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 Not his best game today but considring he came back from a long term injury and right away started three games i can't be too harsh on him, brings far more to the team than Almiron. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's because he inevitably followed the decent stuff by failing to make the final pass or get the shot on target. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He really doesn't. Almiron's defensive ability is far better, his pressing is far better and his end product under Howe is quite a bit better. Only thing Murphy does better is the odd right footed cross. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miggy is another player who lacks killer instinct, but he's a much better footballer in general so he won't be giving the ball away as much under pressure.

Kid Icarus Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 I was decorating while the match was on, but every time I looked up he looked really lively and playing well. I must have missed a canny bit if everyone's saying he was poor. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say he definitely did some good things, but it's that old problem that at the key moment the odds of him: 1. making the right decision 2. then technically not messing up Are both quite small.

alexf Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 Decent in spells but 2nd half when he moved to the left showed his limitations. Having Barnes back is big for that final product. Just hope Gordon is not out long because having Murphy and Almiron as alternatives for the right would be good. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not quite as effective on the left in the second, and showed some poor decision making at the end of the game, which I think has to be looked at in the context of the entire setup becoming less structured in possession as we sought a winner and tried to weigh that priority against the threat that Luton still posed. As usual, people are keen to identify convenient scapegoats after a disappointing game. Edited February 3 by Barnes23 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallowgate Toon Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 He's so much better on the right. Did put in some fantastic deliveries. Nowhere near enough guile on the left though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbandit Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 One of my major concerns with Murphy is such a schoolboy thing. When he gets passed to he doesn’t shield the ball or put his body in the right position. A few times today he got played a perfectly good pass and then got bullied off it because he didn’t come to the ball or put his body in the way. It’s basic stuff Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't keep giving the ball away and call it a good game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nowhere near enough guile on the left though. Ineffective on the right, the spell under Rafa proved it a dozen times at least. I can't understand any criticism of him today, he's just come back, he's a front player and we scored 4 goals, any criticism lies with what's behind him to allow relegation favourites to plunder 4 goals at SJP Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lush Vlad Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 Prefer him on the right under Howe. Tries early crosses and will get at his man down the line. But Almiron looked a lot more comfortable for the short time he was there. He looked a bit lost on the left at times. I don’t think he has the composure, eye for a pass or shooting ability to be cutting in on his right foot. Great option to have and glad he is back. Offers something different to all of our wide men and we’re going to need him now if Gordon is out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledGeordie Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 Excellent pro, great lad, capable of the odd excellent performance but he’s a dependable back up at best. That he’s starting shows where we’re at currently and where we need to go. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
