I was thinking his pass to Wilson was similar to Willock's to Isak vs Spurs, so I re-watched the 6-1. I was wrong, Willock's was breathtakingly sublime.:lol: One of the best passes I have seen in my life.

Best game I've ever seen him play. Hard to believe this is the same player we had with Bruce in charge. I still feel disappointed when I see him starting tbh, but if I didn't know that was Murphy out there I'd have been raving about the performance.

 

I wonder if there's a bit of James Milner about him in that he's got all the tools, just never really had the belief he was as good as he can be until the right coach got to work on him.

 

That goal was still a fluke though.

He deserves plaudits for yesterday's performance. He ran in to space, had quality balls pinged to him and

he stuck in some fantastic crosses. 

 

Main thing under Howe appears to be excellent coaching to ensure you contribute to a move collectively. Murphy did the simple things great and used his pace well. The cross for Gordon goal was fantastic.

I knew the old Murphy would return after the break 

 

God knows what was wrong with him at the start of the season. 

Just had a kid start of season. Similar to Bruno these things take their toll when margins are so fine.

I’ve genuinely always liked him and never got the hate as at least he tries to get the cross in and keep things simple.  Just my type of player over miggy, not slagging miggy off though as I love his attitude and he scores some belters, I just like Murphy.

 

 He also seems to be the clown in the squad and that’s very important I reckon.

Goal was a fluke, but if he had missed the goal, Wilson would have scored on the back post and we'd be raving about his three assists.

Who cares if it was fluke...he took a chance and it went in. Yes it may well have been accidental, but it was still forward dynamic play. Yes he might  not be a superstar, but he works in Eddie's team....think he'd comfortably be a first choice player for at least half of the league

Crazy to think this time 3 and a half years ago, having turned 25 (which isn't young), he was still on loan at Sheff Wed, and at that age, probably more trying to get wages off the bill rather than for development purposes, and he was probably on a trajectory like his twin Josh, yet here he is, playing the best football of his life and an important squad member of the resurgent club he supported as a boy. Great story.

Legit man. 

 

Hard work pays off. 

 

Rafa had an eye like. 

 

 

I remember a lot of Liverpool fans questioned Rafa's signings, and a lot of ours quoted them when they wanted to have a go, but considering the money he had to spend what he's done with it is pretty amazing.

 

Dubravka

Miggy

Schar

Murphy

Longstaff

 

These are guys we signed before we got relegated ffs and they are still here when we are playing CL football.

Eh? None of those were signed before we got relegated :lol:

 

I should have probably checked Google tbh, it's fucked my whole point which was meant to be about Rafa's signings were far better than we realised. Add Joselu to that list btw.

I just don't get how your timescales could be so out of whack. I get we all checked out a bit during recent years, but howay man :lol:

Low level drug abuse over a long period of time maybe contributing to loss of short term memory, but the main point was Rafa signed some good players.

He might not be one of our best, but he's been pretty effective in this team. Plus watching him you can see the joy in his face almost for just being here. Will live in memory for his sh**housery waving bye to one of the opposition. Likeable, good solid backup, won't take us to next level but has shown he can be relied on when needed

He’s already taken us to the next level. Twice. Championship to low level Prem team. Low level Prem team to champions league team.

 

He can go to the next level: champions league team to title challenger. In 6 months we’ll probably look back and say he’s already done that
