The thing is we know hes terrible but he still gets picked to start.. He will still be starting games next season.. Hes too weak, needs to bulk up or something

Tbf to Murphy, he was targeted more than anyone in terms of pressing, without much support at all, and his options were often back down the line to a (being pressed) Krafth, or blindly inside hoping that Longstaff would be there.

Yeah, Gordon was playing very narrow and Murphy was picking the ball up in right back positions. He never had a passing option available to him apart from going back to Dubravka, which nobody wants to see.

its hard to look decent when there'e never a decent pass on or movement in front of you.

especially when you're playing out of position

Especially if he was mainly up against Eze? Capable of making the best ‘actual’ right back flounder.

It should have been the usual 4-3-3 with Tino at RB. I don't know what Howe sees in him. He's 29 so way past the "bulk up" phase of his career.

It's not even that he needs bulking up, he's just a championship level player and always has been. Good round the dressing room though, just like Ritchie, Dummet and Krafth.

Murphy, ritchie, dummet, krafth, targett, almiron and, at a shove, longstaff, will all need to be moved on sooner rather than later and replaced with much higher quality players.

 

I genuinely feel for the lad, he was good enough in the Ashley era i.e. bottom third of the prem, but he is way no where near for where we want to be.

Doesnt get a lot of praise but followed up a fantastic assist with two more today. Thought he was absolutely superb.

8 g/a in 18 games, not too shabby! 

Not just the stats either - the way he pulled it back today rather than taking a shot on was so intelligent, just can’t see miggy doing those things.
