The Butcher Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 Nice bloke, but really hope we upgrade him and/or Almiron in the summer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sibierski Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 (edited) He should be kept as a low cost back up option. Need one or two of them when spending money on legit stars. Can be the emergency RB and back up RW for games which should be fine for another season. Edited April 6 by Sibierski Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 He was awful today but to his credit has far surpassed any expectations I ever had of him. Another player that I'd love a mid table PL club to come in and take off our hands. I could absolutely see him playing for a Wolves, Bournemouth, Fulham.... I won't slag him off though. Good lad is wor Jacob. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If FFP restrictions are lifted, then fine keep him and Ritchie for 10 more years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guy was out on loan not long ago and couldn’t flog for peanuts. Ability hasn’t suddenly changed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can whip in a decent cross on his day. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
80 Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 I wasn't optimistic for him today after him talking about Antonee Robinson being his toughest opponent last season. He's the kind of guy who can lose a game in his head before he's on the pitch. Still value him as part of our team, mind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Icarus Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 Not sure what was up with him today, he was almost anonymous but when he finally got the ball he did nothing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilliamPS Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 Like Miggy he can look good with Trippier or Livramento behind him, without that backup it’s a different story I think it’s good to be fair to some of the players like Murphy in where you set expectations- he’s supposed to be a backup and sub option, not a regular starter Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Icarus Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 Definitely, but Murphy and Miggy are those players that regardless of form will give you a baseline of effort, defensive cover and so on, but something was up with Murphy today, it was weird. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATB Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 Like him more as some form om wing back because up front his shit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lotus Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 He’s got the pace, stamina and attitude to reduce a good few wingers into misery, I reckon. Ultimately doesn’t have enough about him to be a modern FB but he can apply himself to the WB role pretty well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this is correct, just calculated it quickly on my phone, so could be off slightly, but since Eddie joined the clubs, in Premier League games Murphy has started its: Lost: 5 Drawn: 5 Won: 21 Two of them losses where in that initial 10 game period when Eddie first joined too, and three of them being in the 2021/22 season.

I remember them quoting stats on his first team involvement around this time last season. I think it was something like 11-3-1 at the time. Turns out he's our MVP...

alexf Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 So my friend attended the game yesterday with me, non newcastle fan and it was telling to me that he was full of praise for Jacob's performance. He was really liking the positions he was taking up. Was always placing himself into good space on that right side and obviously defended well also.
