Mattoon Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 If he does insist on starting Wilson then I hope Isak starts instead of Almiron, I'd prefer Isak up front with Murphy getting a start ahead of a knackered Almiron though. I'd also start Targett behind ASM and bring Burn on later in the game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Murphy's done more in his appearances off the bench than Almirón has done in his starts recently. How recent? last time Murphy did anything was in November, an assist. Almiron has a goal and an assist in the last 6 games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But in my opinion miggy is just as responsible for so many moves breaking down due to him cutting in and everyone on the pitch knowing he’s going to do it. Murphy came on last couple of games and got good crosses in but nobody on the end. I do believe with more time on the pitch he’ll get an assist or maybe two.

You’re right - wasting his time crossing the ball in the box, we don’t need that kind of play going on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPERTOON Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 Murphy’s performance against Sheffield Wednesday was the final chance I was willing to give him, he offers us nothing imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No - Howe gives players chances he feels are worth it and if he happens to play Murphy today thinking he’s earned that then I haven’t a problem with it because when he came on last game I think his crosses were the only ones coming into the box at the time. Miggy has had a great season but he needs a rest and to me that seems obvious. Everybody on here agrees that they want the results to get better but seem to have a problem with making changes to get there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t think anyone has a problem making changes at all, in fact I think most are calling for them. However I don’t think is unfair to be disappointed if Murphy gets a start. Go back into pretty much any match thread he’s ever started for us and see the reaction to his performances. He is barely a premier league player and offers nothing to this side. Hopefully I am proved wrong today. Completely agree that Miggy needs dropping, just think there are much better options than starting Murphy instead.

That’sa fair point about Murphy, maybe I’m seeing the glass as half full at the moment with Murphy that’s all. Would you give Gordon a chance there? Maybe even ASM Edited March 12, 2023 by Gawalls Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
r0cafella Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 Let’s be frank, Jacob Murphy isn’t good enough and shouldn’t be starting. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbandit Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 As much as I’ve been critical of Murphy, he’s definitely earned a start based on his substitute performances in 2023. Ultimately though, the key person that needs to start is Isak. If he doesn’t start and is fit to, then it’s mad. I know Eddie said he wasn’t ready to do 90 mins consistently but surely he’s ready to play 70 mins Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
