Need a gif of him doing the game over signal near the end of the game 

Stuff like that is making him be one of favourite players, that and how direct he is, plus his seemingly infectious positivity

That long injury layoff did wonders for the perception of this guy. He's a below average player who gives his all and has good physical attributes. Really poor with his play under tight pressure and has his head down too much of the time.

 

Criminal that he didn't have the awareness to slide in Bruno earlier in the game.

 

Hopefully with Barnes back, we see less of him again.

Did a lot of decent things today which seem to be getting forgotten. But yeah, composure is foreign to him.

 

That's because he inevitably followed the decent stuff by failing to make the final pass or get the shot on target.

Not his best game today but considring he came back from a long term injury and right away started three games i can't be too harsh on him, brings far more to the team than Almiron.

 

He really doesn't.

 

Almiron's defensive ability is far better, his pressing is far better and his end product under Howe is quite a bit better.

 

Only thing Murphy does better is the odd right footed cross.

Miggy is another player who lacks killer instinct, but he's a much better footballer in general so he won't be giving the ball away as much under pressure.

I was decorating while the match was on, but every time I looked up he looked really lively and playing well. I must have missed a canny bit if everyone's saying he was poor.

I would say he definitely did some good things, but it's that old problem that at the key moment the odds of him:

 

1. making the right decision

2. then technically not messing up

 

Are both quite small.
