Conjo Posted August 10, 2024 Share Posted August 10, 2024 3 hours ago, ExiledGeordie said: Definite starter but we know that Murphy isn’t going to do this all season is he. Great lad in great form but remember yesterday was a pre-season game. Murphy isn’t going to bother the top teams particularly away from home. He just bothered the third placed la liga team. He's become better and better every season since Howe came here. I'm cautiously hoping he has his break through season at the tender age of 29 Wouldn't cry if we got a RW in of course, but seeing how he's done in pre-season I think we can manage and compete with the top teams perfectly fine with him and Almiron.

I really like him, but we need more on the right. I don’t think we are going to sign one, purely for financial reasons. Another season of Almiron and Murphy unfortunately.

KingArthur Posted August 25, 2024 Share Posted August 25, 2024 His final pass is too often awful. Decent squad player but we need threat from both wings. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SUPERTOON Posted August 25, 2024 Share Posted August 25, 2024 It’s not his or Miggys fault they are still starting games mind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shak Posted August 25, 2024 Share Posted August 25, 2024 Neither Murphy or Almiron are good enough to be second choice RW for a club looking to challenge for a top four spot. Either of them starting is effectively carrying a passenger when in possession. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gbandit Posted August 25, 2024 Share Posted August 25, 2024 He’s never a first choice RW for a top six side and it’s debatable if he could be a starting RW for any side above the relegation spots Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Menace Posted August 25, 2024 Share Posted August 25, 2024 (edited) I genuinely have nothing against the Murph - but we really need to stop rewarding these type of players new contracts. Him and Almiron are here for another few years. Before people start saying who - Morgan Rogers cost Villa £8m. Morgan Whittaker is available for £12m - I bet the risk is worth it.

He has the same end product, and can’t run down the wing unless the opposition LB is out of position. He has nowhere near tracking back ability as Miggy either.

They're both not good enough these days, but we can get away with one being the back up for a real RW until the summer, then sign a young up and coming RW to replace the other one.

HaydnNUFC Posted August 25, 2024 Share Posted August 25, 2024 That we're about to enter September 2024, 3 years after the takeover and Jacob Murphy who will turn 30 this season and Miguel Almirón, who will turn 31 this season, remain our main options on the RW is baffling. I don't know whether it can be put down to a lack of boldness, ruthlessness, planning, ambition or what but everyone knows they should've been upgraded.

Mikky Posted August 25, 2024 Share Posted August 25, 2024 I like Murphy - great pro, Toon fan etc- his role should be that of Krafths - the option when you are really short of cover - plays the odd game here and there Him starting today is the clubs fault for not getting a RW in - one thing I hope EH learns that until we sign a RW, Barnes and Gordon start Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keggy_Keagal Posted August 25, 2024 Share Posted August 25, 2024 Never again. He's Championship at best, his better games last season were when he was employed as a sort of wing back. Offered nothing , at least Miggy would have protected Livramento more. We have to upgrade this position if we're being ambitious. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
