Mazzy Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 We've consistently had a problem this season with breaking down teams who come to St James's with a low block and play for a draw. Right now, he's the biggest asset we have to deal with those type of games and the further we go into this journey the more often we'll come up against those teams. We still need him and I do think he's got a big part to play this season and next (especially with European football). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 New chapter? Has he signed a new deal or something? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbandit Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 Maybe he’s released a new version of Helios. Jokes aside, I would like him to have signed a new contract as he has huge talent. Even if he doesn’t have a long-term future here it benefits us to tie him down to a longer deal Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biggest question mark for me is whether he's content with this kind of role in the squad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shak Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 To be fair to ASM you can very much see he's trying to become the player Howe wants him to be. Really trying to play with his head up more, make the pass when it's the right move. Would give me a lot of hope that he can learn the other things that we'll need from him to be someone who can play every game. He's obviously got the athleticism to press effectively and he's a strong lad so there's no reason he can't become an effective presser if the mentality is right and there are signs that it might just be. Will be very interesting to see if he starts the Fulham game if he comes through the next two games unscathed. I certainly hope he does. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexf Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 Definitely starting atleast 1 possibly 2 of the next 2 games, so chance for him to stake a claim for the Fulham match with some strong performances. Hope he does 👍 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Butcher Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 Regardless of the game or situation we're in - I would never ever put Murphy on before ASM. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only he'd know that for sure but with so many fixtures coming up in the next couple of months he's going to be starting alot more games and when he does he just has to make it count. Howe likes to keep a settled team so if he gets back in a we keep winning then I imagine he stays in for as long as he is fit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good points and I thinks that’s something else people are missing when trying to write him off. His game is visibly changing. If Howe can get it to click with him he’ll be unstoppable. I think with a lot of winnable games against teams that are likely to sit back he’ll likely see more game time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s been unfortunate with injuries this season and he needs a run of games to show what he can do. If he doesn’t take the opportunity he needs a clip round the ear because he should be a Titan. I still suspect he’s going to end up as the new Ketsbaia though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mighty__mag Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 Top player, I'll always back him. Before pre season nobody would have given a toss if Miggy was sold, now he's the bees knees, things change opinions change, Maxi will never become a bad player over night. In fairness especially on this forum, (because he's still loved on Twitter,) he's like the go to player to put down here, theres far worse players get a free ride, like I've said before over expectations, because so many know he's class, they crave superstar performance out of him everytime he plays, nobody is giving us constant 9 out of 10s but a good portion are giving strong 8s regular, I say he needs to be tried on the right still, pair up with a reliable player like Trippier, and Miggy is a left footer anyway, let's see how Miggy would fair on the left, it's probably the tougher position to play.

I really have problems seeing what Murphy brings to the team. So light weight, bad decision making and lose the ball way to easy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
