Light grey like 99% of the planet atm.

Decent in spells but 2nd half when he moved to the left showed his limitations. 

 

Having Barnes back is big for that final product. 

 

Just hope Gordon is not out long because having Murphy and Almiron as alternatives for the right would be good.

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.

 

Aye, I thought he had a decent game for the most part too. Did well in the first half, some surprisingly intricate movements. Not quite as effective on the left in the second, and showed some poor decision making at the end of the game, which I think has to be looked at in the context of the entire setup becoming less structured in possession as we sought a winner and tried to weigh that priority against the threat that Luton still posed. 

 

As usual, people are keen to identify convenient scapegoats after a disappointing game.

He's so much better on the right. Did put in some fantastic deliveries. Nowhere near enough guile on the left though.

One of my major concerns with Murphy is such a schoolboy thing. When he gets passed to he doesn’t shield the ball or put his body in the right position. A few times today he got played a perfectly good pass and then got bullied off it because he didn’t come to the ball or put his body in the way. It’s basic stuff

He kept missing passes and making bad choices after doing initial good work. You can't keep giving the ball away and call it a good game.

Ineffective on the right, the spell under Rafa proved it a dozen times at least. 

 

I can't understand any criticism of him today, he's just come back, he's a front player and we scored 4 goals, any criticism lies with what's behind him to allow relegation favourites to plunder 4 goals at SJP

[Lush Vlad]

Prefer him on the right under Howe. Tries early crosses and will get at his man down the line. But Almiron looked a lot more comfortable for the short time he was there. He looked a bit lost on the left at times. 
 

I don’t think he has the composure, eye for a pass or shooting ability to be cutting in on his right foot. 
 

Great option to have and glad he is back. Offers something different to all of our wide men and we’re going to need him now if Gordon is out. 

[ExiledGeordie]

Excellent pro, great lad, capable of the odd excellent performance but he’s a dependable back up at best. That he’s starting shows where we’re at currently and where we need to go.

[The Prophet]

Needs to ask for a chant, bless him.

[Disco]

Just use the Terry Hibbert one.

 

Also what happened to that original thread about new chants? I’ll have definitely posted some drivel in there.

Assigned this to the top striker for one of my fictional Subbuteo teams. (Quentin Verdier; at least he's French)

Not sure if it was mentioned here, but he injured his calf in the warmup? Hope he is okay.. We are even getting injuries in the warmup now.

Suppose that's better than Elliot Anderson getting out of bed. 

Expect injuries to soon come from sneezing and opening the fridge door

Fucking hell man!! What's next Botman out with a prolapse following a particularly troubling dump

[nufcjb]

Still can't believe this is the same player that was so wank under Bruce and even in the early Howe days. Such an improvement in his personal play and a person that others really need in the dressing room.
