Jacob "The Juice" Murphy

[cubaricho]

good shift

[M4]

Yeah, decent shift overall. Good effort as always from him.

 

More target practice needed though

Gillespie was definitely better than Murphy like. Be quite a distance when he was younger. 

Gillespie was a lazy get for 90% of the time but gets brushed over cos of 'that game against Barcelona'.

 

Genuinely cannot recall a single goal he scored for us

 

He might have looked more flashy than Murphy, but Murphy has contributed far more in his admittedly longer time here

Sellars was probably the diametric opposite of Murphy. Didn't have a load of pace, but had a lovely touch and first pass. He was ahead of his time really, probably a bit too delicate for football in the '90s but he had a wand of a left foot.

So Viana was basically his regen for the 00s

[Newcastle Fan]

Very good shift from him today, i was actually surprised he was taken off for Barnes as he was helping the defense a lot.

[TRon]

Noticed in the last couple of games he's got a prettty good left peg. Hit a couple of really sweet shots from that side. He's really got some good qualities, if he had a better touch and a bit more awareness, he could have been a helluva player.

Gillespie was miles ahead man, have a word.

[Holloway]

He's in one of his productive spells, and it's a more than reasonable watch

More spectacular as a winger. Wouldn't have been in our current set up.

Does anywhere track post hits? I’d love to see his numbers on that

Would say quite the opposite actually. His left footed efforts have been poor and shows he needs to work on it if he's playing from the right and cutting in. There was the first chance against Leicester when you watch back really shouldn't have been hard to put on target at this level and then here was a similar one tonight. 

 

But take nothing away, he has a decent right peg and as have said a few times recently, balance in teams is vastly underated and you can have lesser players in great teams if they know and play their position well.

I give him a load of stick, possibly unfairly. Thought he was good tonight. Unlucky not to score, couple of decent efforts. 

[Miercoles]

Hahaha there he is again. 

[toon25]

He's been brilliant lately

[La Parka]

He's a weapon. Just don't give him time to think. 

[The Butcher]

On fire

Exactly it 

 

On a great run at the minute

[Miggys First Goal]

Becoming undroppable. 

[Erikse]

Like a new signing

[Miercoles]

This guy wants to play 

[54]

The juice is flowing recently.

[David Edgar]

Think I said in the summer that he would be 10-15 goals+assists with the right game time. Yup.

 

He is still shit with the ball at times.

Having a stacked left frees him up lovely for a blooter or ten a game. 
 

Pass to Murphy pon the right hand side.

[Weezertron]

Trying to cement the RW spot before the transfer window. 

 

But really, he's fast and can shoot well. No reason why this can't be his level.
