Zero Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 10 minutes ago, Solitude20 said: Don’t forget how in Leipzig he used to play as a second strikers who drifts wide, and therefore he used his speed to exploit spaces and become a source of threat. In Chelsea, he played as a left winger in 4-3-3, and a forward who drifts wide is significantly different than a winger. Their responsibilities and roles are different. As a winger, you should help maintain possession and deliver crosses, so it is more of a supporting role, and that is different from his role back in Leipzig as a second striker, and he was pretty good back then. It all boils down to how Eddie would want to use him in case if we are really interested. so we should change to a 442 if we signed Werner then? Did Howe try this before? Like playing Wood and Wilson together Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's been here 2 seasons now. Not a loaded question, genuinely interested in the answer. I think he's like Sterling in that his runs etc create a lot of space for his team mates. His alround contribution is underrated. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ritchie is far more likely to go than Murphy is. Also one of the keepers will go we won’t have 4 keepers in the squad. Not sure Manquillo will be here either Edited July 31, 2022 by gdm Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ponsaelius Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 Think if we brought in a winger Murphy would be liable to left out of the squad tbh. Yes he's currently in line to get game time - but there's a huge difference between 4th and 5th choice wide player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geordie Ahmed Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 (edited) I think Howe likes having Murphy as a bench option due to his pace Edited July 31, 2022 by Geordie Ahmed Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we were still keen on Cornet, Murphy would be a good option for Burnley especially with McNeil also gone. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
buzza Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 Murphy is great to bring on when we are winning, he gas good organisation skills and covers back well and has pace for the counter attack. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mahoneys Tache Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 Werner would add loads to our attack. Not just scoring goals himself but his pace and tendency to set others up rather than go for goal every time he gets a sniff is something we’ve not had properly since Nobby was in his prime.
