It's not really an Almiron phase as he's been doing this for ages. It's genuinely part of his game. He's been producing bonkers statistics over periods of time for the past three seasons now. I forget the exact fact, but the past two seasons have both had something like 15 game runs where if he started we won (or at least didn't lose).

Agreed.  It isn’t so much a one-off purple patch so much as a rich vein of form.  He’s a solid PL player playing with now in-form top rank players and he’s looking all the better for it.  His form and the team’s form are linked insomuch as he’s been a part of that but he’s not the driving force behind it.

 

The lad needs some slack cut.  He’s one of us, and I bastard love it when one of us gets to live our childhood fantasies and smash one in when wearing the B&W.

Plus a local lad, right?

Born in Wembley London. Played for Norwich. Him and his twin brother were boyhood Newcastle fans (Jacob's on the right).

 

"Murphy's mother, Maxine, is from Birtley while his father, John, hails from Ashington. A number of the 25-year-old relatives still live in Gateshead and they are all huge Newcastle supporters!" (older story as he's 29 now).

Created with Geordie blood, good enough for me.

Great to see him on form. He absolutely loves playing for us (who wouldn’t)

He’s a Geordie.  He just fails the accent test - but no-one’s perfect

Thought this was the shearer thread for a second

Glad he's doing well, happy for him to be backup next season for our new RW.

Would like to hear the 'one of our own' song before he's full bench material.

Exactly. My boy is Melbourne born and bred but has the blood of two Geordies in him. Id never let anyone say he wasn't pure blood Radgie.

Awful song. He has his own decent song.

True, it’s just the most basic way to express this sentiment.

Yeesh I guess this is the other side of the Murphy coin.

Got a great assist, what are you talking about?

The shot he hit the bar with was an absolute stinker though, if he'd missed that at 0-0 he'd get absolutely crucified 

[Alberto2005]

I think at times today he showed why we need better.

[JigsawGoesToPieces]

Was MIA most of the game, hit the bar when he should of scored and his crossing and shooting was woeful.

 

Yes he got an assist but isnt good enough, can we stop saying hes fine for RW or we will never progress.

If you watch that back the ball gets fired at his weaker foot at quite some pace, it’s nowhere near as bad a miss as it first looks.

He's done it again that little baaaastard 

[Skeletor]

Does the difficult things well and the easy things badly.

[Smal]

I don’t think you can consider the assists a fluke or anything but a result of his ability when it’s sustained like this.

 

Just accept the brilliant creativity of Jacob Murphy and you’ll be much happier in life.
