TRon Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 I wonder if he'd have better control if he swapped his boots round onto the wrong foot? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lenny Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 10 minutes ago, HTT II said: I’ve had enough of seeing him in our colours now as well. Him and Wood last night were basically non existent. They will likely both start games this season and that’s worrying, it’s worrying we are having to bring them on from the bench. Murphy in particular was worse than non existent yesterday in that he actively negatively contributed to the team. He had a couple of good opportunities to work a chance and each time he conceded possession in absolutely pathetic, submissive fashion. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

greydos Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 Retaining him is the very definition of sandbagging. Quite why we want to slow our unstoppable March to football superiority I don’t know! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think if anyone showed interest in him we'd sell but he's not very good so they aren't He still has 5 years left on his contract so unless we pay it all off he'll be stuck here a while Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisMcQuillan Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 5 goals in 111 games for us. Probably about time we just accepted he's not good enough and ship him out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems the sort who doesn't thrive under pressure, but he does have pace and a decent strike when he's not shitting himself when the ball arrives at his feet.

Guest HTT II Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 I’d rather play Ritchie from the start than bring him on even for a minute, absolute waste of a squad place/number/shirt, abysmal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least he could try to work on his decision making and his game in general. Honestly he has been here so long and nothing has changed. Boot him off the bench put on someone from the youth - they can not possibly do any worse. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rafalove Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 What’s to say he doesn’t work on his decision making? It probably isn’t just that easy. He’s a limited player, and he can’t really help that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kenlau88210 Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 I did like on one occasion down the right hand side he tried to switch onto his left foot and get a shot in. Unfortunately the defender was well aware and blocked the shot. He does show some quality on occasion but overall he has been very disappointing in his time here.

wormy Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 9 minutes ago, Aiston said: His complete lack of effort is his fault. Do other fan bases have this obsession with if a player isn't good enough then it's clearly because he's not putting in the effort? I feel like I see it disproportionately aimed at our inadequate players. I can't think of many times I've watched Murphy and thought he wasn't trying to put a shift in, even if the shift was ultimately shit. I've noticed Wood has had it thrown at him recently too when his biggest plus since arriving has probably been his workrate. Some players just can't make the step up; it doesn't mean they're not trying. And this comes from someone that agrees with not wanting to see him on the pitch for us again if Howe can help it.

TwoForJoy Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 He's the softest, most passive footballer I've ever seen. His win percentage on challenges must be zero. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
