Lotus Posted December 27, 2024 Share Posted December 27, 2024 Worth his (hopefully low) wages as a squad player. Sets the benchmark for effort and team ethic for whoever comes in. But, a clever player-maker in his position would make us very scary indeed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted December 27, 2024 Share Posted December 27, 2024 You can see when a game is tight where his problems lie, he just doesn't have the speed of thought or technical ability under pressure to play the cute stuff that Tonali, Bruno or even Gordon can. To be fair, even Joelinton can struggle with this aspect but Joelinton gets away with it because he can physically hold people off where as Murphy can't. Once a game opens up, his pace, crossing and shooting is really decent. We need someone of a different class to play there long term but credit to him for making the most of this chance.

Emotic Posted December 28, 2024 Share Posted December 28, 2024 Look at the match cam and he's chatting animatedly with the wee mascot as the team is being led out and afterwards crouching down with a big grin on his face next to the mascot. He's just a big happy kid revelling in his purple patch and I love him for that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zero Posted December 28, 2024 Share Posted December 28, 2024 Glad that he stepped up these few weeks. Hope his form continues till the end of this season - we need a result badly Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roids Posted December 28, 2024 Share Posted December 28, 2024 showing some form going to the transfer window, perfect opportunity to flip that into a £25m+ transfer while his pr is high Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't help but love him though and he's certainly contributed to our change in fortunes. Keep going Jacob Tbf, if Isak had stayed out of it Bruno would've scored.

Heron Posted December 29, 2024 Share Posted December 29, 2024 (edited) Everyone rants and raves about Mbuemo but Murphy has played half the game time and contributed to 75% of the same amount of goals this season.

Newcastle Fan Posted December 30, 2024 Share Posted December 30, 2024 Absolutely terrible today on the ball, don't think he's done anything right but did a very good job tracking back and defending when needed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye.. just goes to bits generally against the 'bigger' clubs. Great when he has time on the ball out wide but should never try to come inside for a pass.

He’ll do the hard yards and make sure there’s a body in way against the big teams. If everyone else is doing their job offensively he’s the sort of player who is worth their weight in gold.

r0cafella Posted December 31, 2024 Share Posted December 31, 2024 He did a really valuable job defensively yesterday, obviously he has his limitations but upgrading him won't be so easy because his commitment is second to none. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingxlnc Posted December 31, 2024 Share Posted December 31, 2024 Is a flat track bully, will do well against bottom 6 contenders but struggles otherwise Is very good for depth but should not be starting RW - definitely need an upgrade this window Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said in the match thread at half time that his main contribution seemed to be as a body on the pitch. Personally think he's had his purple patch and has dropped off in the last couple of games, but despite his football being a bit clumsy at times, he can still strike a ball really well. Not the worst option to have. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’ll be the kind of profile Eddie and the team will look for, hardworking but has the quality in the final third a la Gordon. Might take time to identify such a player that is available which is why it might not happen in January? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
