I think it was ahead of the Palace game I suggested that we swap him in as we were struggling to find balance. I think both Gordon and Barnes are better footballers, but sometimes it's just a case of square pegs in square holes.

 

Really happy for him and hope he keeps this up.

Dont think we should go after an overprized purple RW in January when Murphy is in this form imo. Better to wait until the summer when we can get a better deal. 

If a good deal turns up now then sure go ahead.

It's not the same but the club made that mistake with the miggy purple patch where we for whatever reason said to ourselves that we can wait this lads doing great. Murphy i am sure would be happy being a rotation option we need that high calibre option. If his form delays a signing until the summer or allows us to go for a less proven cheaper option as Murphy is good competitive then yes iam definitely for that.  But would prefer to sign now as miggy still looks the headless chicken when he comes on. 

 

Murphy has been excellent and no taking anything away from him but we have had him on the books long enough to know his form can be hot and cold. Also he's definitely benefiting from Gordons work down the left leaving space on the right and Isak dropping deeper geting more involved in the general play giving good space for Murphy to pounce on.

I dont think we disagree at all here. Like I said, if we can find a good deal in January then go for it. But thats not likely. With PSR we really have to be careful about not overpaying just to get a little better in the short term.

Whilst he’s on a great run I’d expect some output vs the big sides in our next three. That should confirm where we are in terms of whether we need a right winger in Jan.

 

If Gordon can keep producing vs the bigger teams and Murphy can be our flat track bully, I think we'll be Ok for now :)

Done more in two weeks than Almiron has done in 2 years. Already cult legend status we just don't realise it yet. 

In fairness only one of them is ever playing in their preferred position. Almiron to my recollection has never been a RW.

He’s cultivated a good on-pitch understanding with Isak as well. The more they play together the better it’s been. This entire shift in the attacking dynamic with Tonali chasing back, Bruno advanced and Isak coming in deeper has provided more space and service for Murphy, seeing as to how defenders will be told to stay close to the two danger men (Isak and Bruno) and leaving the right wing with the space for Murph to exploit.

He's kind of out-Barnesing Barnes in that right wing position at the minute in that he doesn't look particularly good in general play, gives the ball away and can look sloppy yet is getting goals and assists at a pretty impressive rate.

 

Tbf today I thought he was a lot better and tidier in general play than of late, but my general point above remains.

 

Got to keep him in the side for now and he's done very well to marginalise Almiron, even when we buy a new RW I think he's locked his squad place down for the foreseeable. Eddie trusts him.

How do you explain to a football neutral Jacob Murphy? You really can't

 

Eh, plenty of players out there who are shit all game and then score. Lots of poachers out there with great careers based on that model. 

 

Not that Murphy is shit mind, I feel like he's decent with occasional upside and it's just so damn fun when he's in form.
