Serious?

With Murphy it's usually his poor/slow decision making on the ball when he's having a shitter, when his tail is up he's direct and causes problems, he's one of our better crosses of the ball and one of our better finishers.

 

His finishing obviously let him down before the goal but it wasn't a surprise to see him open the scoring, he was looking sharp.

I mean he was gifting Leicester two times, and had two really poor finishes before the goal. Proper horror stuff.

Man he gave the ball away multiple times, and that’s before the chances he put past the post. 
 

he’s a great lad, was just having a shocker before the goal.

I thought he was pretty horrific until the goal. Made countless errors.

I’m not putting up with Murphy shanking shots he should almost certainly be getting on target at least AND giving the ball away three times a half in really quite dangerous positions just because he’s scored. We need someone far better at all aspects whose highs and lows aren’t so polar opposite. We need a very good, consistent right winger.

You sure you watching the same game? 

 

Gave it away most of the times he touched the ball, and he wasn't even trying to do anything creative with it. Then that 2nd chance was an awful attempt. 

Yeah he was getting himself into dangerous positions which is when he's actually worth a squad place. When he's hanging out wide and dawdling on the ball I'm worried for him

Looking forward to your post in the Isak threaad explaining how we need to sell after his abysmal attempt in his 1v1.

Can’t get my head around Murphy. Good against Liverpool in lots of ways and unlucky not to score. 2 assists last week. 2 goals and unfortunate not to have an assist today. 
 

Yet for large spells. He looks like a League One level player. Passing, touch and decision making all over the place. 
 

Humble pie for me. But with the players we have in the squad. We are probably a better team with him right wing.

He's not great when he's having to think, and was especially bad at the start of the season. Send him off in space and he's genuinely very good though.

 

Obviously a limited player like, he needs replacing, but I find the stick he gets daft given how useful he can be.

It's there in your own words tbh. He's always had a decent cross, he can hit a decent strike as well. He's just not a very good footballer otherwise. His touch is inconsistent and he can't carry the ball well either. Ditto the decision making.

Well that’s just wrong. :lol: 


It really isn’t. His first touch is absolutely shocking for a player anywhere near this level. The same as his dribbling under any sort of pressure. Decision making and passing not much better. 
 

He is pretty fast, can strike a ball well and through volume and work. His goals and assists I’d imagine are pretty good for minutes played the last season or two. I’d guess he attempts more shots and crosses per 90 than most on our team. Which I am not saying is a bad thing BTW. 
 

Howe has done a very good job of turning him into an effective player for us. But his technical ability is nowhere near this level. 
 

It’s not even me having a go at him. It is just that he has massive limitations and they are magnified in certain games and moments.
