He made an absolutely lung busting run from defence to overlap Tripps in the 1st half that typified his attributes. He also received a ball on the by line in acres of space and immediately ran it out of play. No doubt he meant to score, it was right down my eyeline. One of the standout players atm for the one of the (if not the) most inform teams in the best league in the world. Not good enough for International football..

Let’s just appreciate what he brings to our system. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let’s just appreciate what he brings to our system. He might or might not fit in into the England squad. But to say he is not good enough for International football is silly imo.

Benwell Lad Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 I'm old enough to remember when Murphy and Dan Burn were deemed not good enough for us by many on here TBH I always thought he offered something and often made things happen when he came on as a sub, but the level he has reached could not have been predicted by anyone. The sheer joy and pride he has always displayed playing for Newcastle makes his success all the more satisfying. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
McCormick Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 2 hours ago, KaKa said: If Tuchel ever uses his 3 at the back system for England, I think Murphy would be incredible as a right sided wing back in that setup. Problem for him is he’ll never get in over Trent in that position. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JP Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 His crossing ability has been the most impressive improvement for me Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingxlnc Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 Ok humour me, if you had a choice in the summer, Minteh or Murphy - straight swap - would you take it? Minteh at his age and all the potential vs Murphy, the local lad done good but at his peak? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never really paid any attention to Minteh though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let’s just appreciate what he brings to our system. He doesn't suit England, but he's a completely different option because of his directness. Tuchel has shown early on his all about assembling a squad that gets along and has dimensions/tools to win different games. There's a valid argument on this form, he ticks those boxes. Like Bowen is probably the better player overall, but he's stinky for England and it's still a player RW cutting in (which we have Saka and Foden for). There's no-one else that can offer what he does right now for England on that RW. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikky Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 Not really read back up on this thread but that goal is 100% a shot - there’s no way he’s aiming a cross Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 I want this version of Jacob Murphy doing this in the Champions League next season. Would be some arc from him looking like an overawed kid at Christmas hearing the CL music in the San Siro. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HawK Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/c15vk01ey01o Jacob Murphy: Does Newcastle winger deserve place in the England squad? - BBC Sport Usually you get a bit of 19vs1 voting and bias against the club on a vote, and mostly Newcastle fans are going to be clicking on a link for a Newcastle player, but when the title of article includes 'England Squad', you tend to get a lot more neutral clicks. The sentiment there is quite telling, people outside our club rate him as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanj Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 Goes to show you what coaching paired with a player’s willingness to put in the work and be coached can do. The atmosphere Howe and his team have built and the hierarchy above him has supported is nothing short of incredible. Feel like we haven’t seen much like this in football across the top leagues.

relámpago blanco Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 (edited) I wonder if we'll see more goals from that angle. Keepers don't expect it. I reckon we could get away with it for the rest of the season. It would also make the keeper think twice and change focus so if you do that and switch with crosses the keeper will be on the back foot.

Chicken Dancer Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 It does make me wonder that when we do upgrade at RW that we'd prefer to keep a right-footed player there. It isn't the norm these days but we/he have shown it can be hugely effective. Actually love how him, Schar and Joelinton - all signings from the previous years - are mainstays in a class NUFC team. Shows the importance of coaching, confidence and belief. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanj Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 Need to find someone who can properly cross the ball, it’s been a massive factor in our attacking play and has directly contributed to our goals. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
