WilliamPS Posted April 6, 2024 Share Posted April 6, 2024 Like Miggy he can look good with Trippier or Livramento behind him, without that backup it’s a different story I think it’s good to be fair to some of the players like Murphy in where you set expectations- he’s supposed to be a backup and sub option, not a regular starter Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Icarus Posted April 6, 2024 Share Posted April 6, 2024 Definitely, but Murphy and Miggy are those players that regardless of form will give you a baseline of effort, defensive cover and so on, but something was up with Murphy today, it was weird.

He's the kind of guy who can lose a game in his head before he's on the pitch. Still value him as part of our team, mind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lotus Posted April 14, 2024 Share Posted April 14, 2024 He’s got the pace, stamina and attitude to reduce a good few wingers into misery, I reckon. Ultimately doesn’t have enough about him to be a modern FB but he can apply himself to the WB role pretty well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this is correct, just calculated it quickly on my phone, so could be off slightly, but since Eddie joined the clubs, in Premier League games Murphy has started its: Lost: 5 Drawn: 5 Won: 21 Two of them losses where in that initial 10 game period when Eddie first joined too, and three of them being in the 2021/22 season.

I remember them quoting stats on his first team involvement around this time last season. I think it was something like 11-3-1 at the time. Turns out he's our MVP...

alexf Posted April 14, 2024 Share Posted April 14, 2024 So my friend attended the game yesterday with me, non newcastle fan and it was telling to me that he was full of praise for Jacob's performance. He was really liking the positions he was taking up. Was always placing himself into good space on that right side and obviously defended well also.

HawK Posted April 14, 2024 Share Posted April 14, 2024 He must have a lot of positional sense off the ball that we don't get to see so much from the TV. He's doing something right, proper team player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's doing something right, proper team player. He's an odd one as he's an intelligent player who is prone to using his intelligence unintelligently. He second guesses and thinks himself into trouble. But with the right coaching and support he does far more good than bad.

Geordie_once_removed Posted April 14, 2024 Share Posted April 14, 2024 That he can play as a right back and left wing means I would keep him over Almiron. As much as I like them both, if we are to kick on next year they need to only be squad players and we don't need them both for that role. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
