Jacob "The Juice" Murphy


Recommended Posts

Is his position normally left or right? If left then he has no chance against Kenedy.

 

Unless Kenedy moves to the 10 spot. He's all over the pitch as a left winger, and I think he could do that job. It would mean Dummett losing the invaluable protection he offers, like.

Player with low awareness, poor touch,  the distancing of the ball in his runs is a huge suspect as he often loses in duels.

 

His shots and attacking positioning seems slightly better than average.

However there is so much to refine as a player before he can lace Ritchie boots.

I dont seem him being part of the future plans unless Rafa works incredible magic on Jacob, his general impact in games are just very low due to his inability to retain ball like Kenedy, work hard like Ritchie , or make space like Perez.

I just don't get why we paid £12m for him. He's weak as piss, devoid of skill and has a very poor footballing brain. Even if Rafa worked wonders with him, at best he'd be a Perez-esque player and be anonymous in games.

 

As limited as Ritchie is, Murphy is nowhere near the team. He probably needs to drop a division or two to build himself back up.

What's the longest run of starts he's had with us? I don't think it's fair to judge him based on the few minutes here and there, although it's worrying that Rafa thinks Atsu is a better option.

Excellent run and assist, doesn't cancel out his 1 and a half seasons of nothing performances like, but it bodes well.

 

He's clearly got the tools to hurt any team, just needs some confidence at this level. Young lad who might develop under a good manager?

Guessing you forgot the January he had this year.

He'll be rewarded by being dropped for Ritchie to do nothing.

 

Aye, he's fucking clueless that Rafa.

 

When it comes to Murphy I'd say his handling of him has been pretty bad.

 

Seems like he's not exposing him to too much pressure IMO. If Murphy was taking his chances he'd probably be starting more.

Why? He's not good enough.

 

He's always dropped when he plays well. That's shite handling of any player. The way he was just dropped from the squad last January after being our biggest threat was ridiculous. The two times he's had strings of games he's looked good, so instead we play him odd game here, odd game there. Despite others getting plenty of opportunities and doing nothing with them.

Wrong. Literally since I hit reply he has fucked up twice.

Why would you want to keep hold of players who regularly make mistakes? The bloke is an average skilled, low IQ player.

Because he's young and can maybe improve, I'm guessing Rafa saw some potential.
