Gets sung in the corner now

"And now he's gonna score for Eddie's magpies" is the last line


obviously the last line would have been fanciful under Rafa 🤣

I think something to the opening 5 lines of Stevie Wonder's Living for the City would work really well. 

Ok I think I've got it. This would be the first football song I've put together, so be kind you fuckers.

 

'A boy was born in deepest darkest Wembley.

But Black and White runs right through his family.

So Geordie fans give him love and affection.

He takes the piss, and leaves teams fucking fuming.

Scoring loads of goals, loads of goals - Jacob Murphy!'

 

In case you don't know the source material (shame on you!):

Plays terrible but scored again. Gave the ball away too easy but I applaud him for not hiding away from the crowd.

Wouldn’t call him shit, he’s fast, he can kick a football hard and keep it down and he can cross a ball very well. He is not technically gifted at all, he can’t shield the ball against a press and he has a limited range of passing, he has no particular dribbling skill. So, it comes down to the fact he has his uses in the final third and he’s maximised these. He deserves a lot of credit for that but he’s not good in the other areas of the pitch

He is absolutely brilliant at a very small part of the game, which happens to be very important, and very mediocre at a lot of other stuff. We've been here a million times.

I've found peace with how he plays. I know he is going to give the ball away under pressure - and I've stopped getting wound up by it. I know he isn't going to score regularly (even if he did score today). I know he is going to create chances in the final third at a ridiculous rate - and it isn't a purple patch because he's been doing that for years.

 

For now, he's our RW and there isn't a player at the club who could play the role any better.

Game to forget really. It's why he struggled so much earlier in his career here, has all the attributes but mentally weak. Knew after that fuck up for the first goal his confidence would drop. Pretty much every time he touched the ball for awhile after that he messed up. 

But thankfully the older more mature Murphy kept going and managed to bag a goal. But there wasn't much else to show for his performance. 

 

His form has seemed to drop off a little since the Almiron sale. It's weird cus Almiron was getting nowhere near a start but he was still something of competition for a place, now he only has Osula if Howe wants to put him there, but we all know he isn't starting Osula in the league unless desperate. 

 

I am just a little nervous in the final that a shithouse like Robertson is going to smash in to Murphy and rough him up in the final and chat shit to him all game to put him off. What should happen is Murph should be realising that Robertson's powers are waning and he should get after him as much as possible.

dont agree with that bit.

plenty of times he's started shit and had rumblings from the crowd, only to stick at it and get a goal or an assist.

its the likes of longstaff and willock i feel lack some resilience mentally.
