The College Dropout Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 He’s so bad. When he gave the ball away with his first few touches, you knew a disaster class was pending. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiLvOR Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 Unfortunately for him, he's not good enough for where we want to be, even as a squad player. Frustrating that he's usually relied upon to come off the bench and make something happen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gbandit Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 It’s his weakness that annoys me the most, not his poor finishing or lack of quality. It’s how easily he gets brushed off the ball when he has it, when he loses 50-50s or the ball when it’s his to be won and how he doesn’t challenge for the ball like everyone else in the squad Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

80 Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 One of the few players that seems to have gone backwards rather than forwards this season, unfortunately. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weezertron Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 We all know his limitations, add to that playing against the league leaders. He sounds like a great person to have in the squad. I can't remember where I read how much he contributes to team spirit. Probably go in the summer I think. I love the Newcastle link, so it's disappointing that he never cut it.

Nice lad but yeah, been ages since he put a decent performance in. That cross has me screaming at the telly. "What the fuck was that man" He needs upgrading like. Shocking when he came on tonight. Did nothing right at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pilko Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 Crap when he came on. He's so weak, gets muscled off the ball constantly. And when he got opportunities to cross they were laughable overhits. We'll turn draws into wins when our first two off the bench aren't Wood and this joker. Bit of quality on and we start to nick games like this one some of the time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamjk007 Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 Everytime he comes on he literally offers nothing, i just don't get what Howe see's in him? No football brain, cant pass a ball, cant beat a player. I'm sick of screaming at the TV every time this lad comes on, has to be moved on in the summer.

1892er Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 Murphy sometimes bursts down the wing looks the part for a few seconds and then remembers he's Murphy and puts the most awful cross in ever. Rinse and repeat. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
McCormick Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 Seems like a nice lad but he shouldn’t be getting as many PL minutes as he’s currently getting. Guy still plays like a youth player ffs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theregulars Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 I just don’t see a PL player here, and I’m normally on the generous side with my assessments. You’ve got to have squad players I suppose but I always think a good litmus test is “would he get game time at another PL club?” - I’m not sure he would, and I don’t even mean a top half club. He’s so naive, rarely beats a man with his pace and seldom uses his other best skill (crossing) to any real effect. I hope this is the last season where he gets significant playing time.

Theregulars Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 11 hours ago, Miggys First Goal said: Would rather keep Fraser and get rid of Murphy. To be fair I think Fraser asked to play on the left instead of right, meaning Murphy became plan B behind Miggy. Fraser hasn’t been able to get a look-in on the left because he’s behind Joelinton and ASM. If he was happy to play on the right maybe he’d have played more than Murphy.

duo Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 He's never looked a PL player whenever he's been on the pitch.- just doesn't have the speed of though required at this level. I do think he could do a good job for a Championship club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGuv Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 Nice lad, but we really do seem to only have a solid squad of 13 or 14. He's just not good enough. You look to the bench and at best ASM and Anderson can come on and help improve the team/threat. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
