Did not know he had that in him :lol:


He was actually touted for big things in his youth - him and Josh won the FA Youth cup I think - classic case of working with managers that didn’t develop him - Eddie is excellent in this regard

I think he'd have been a really consistently good PL player if Howe had been coaching him since he signed at 22. The limitation in his game are all in the mental side. He has good technique and physical attributes.

I think it was ahead of the Palace game I suggested that we swap him in as we were struggling to find balance. I think both Gordon and Barnes are better footballers, but sometimes it's just a case of square pegs in square holes.

 

Really happy for him and hope he keeps this up.

Dont think we should go after an overprized purple RW in January when Murphy is in this form imo. Better to wait until the summer when we can get a better deal. 

If a good deal turns up now then sure go ahead.

It's not the same but the club made that mistake with the miggy purple patch where we for whatever reason said to ourselves that we can wait this lads doing great. Murphy i am sure would be happy being a rotation option we need that high calibre option. If his form delays a signing until the summer or allows us to go for a less proven cheaper option as Murphy is good competitive then yes iam definitely for that.  But would prefer to sign now as miggy still looks the headless chicken when he comes on. 

 

Murphy has been excellent and no taking anything away from him but we have had him on the books long enough to know his form can be hot and cold. Also he's definitely benefiting from Gordons work down the left leaving space on the right and Isak dropping deeper geting more involved in the general play giving good space for Murphy to pounce on.

Can’t stop watching this.

 

 

This is a role reversal of the Isak amazing assist for Murphy's tap in against Everton a few seasons ago
Nice of Murphy to pay him back

I dont think we disagree at all here. Like I said, if we can find a good deal in January then go for it. But thats not likely. With PSR we really have to be careful about not overpaying just to get a little better in the short term.
