SUPERTOON Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Was poor when he came on today, still think he will be one who we attempt to move on in the summer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandrotastico Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Lazy going backwards. Often lets his man run free. Bit of a one trick pony to me. Would move on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As frustrating as Murphy is, he’s always trying to help Tino out as much as possible. My fear was realised when he came on and they had way more joy.

alexf Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Jeez, go easy he wasn't that bad. The team was playing awful when he came on which makes it even harder and he barely got a chance to go forward, but when he did he still looked dangerous, even if it was him playing out of position on that right side.

My fear was realised when he came on and they had way more joy. Exactly. It's a common trend when he comes on. Gordon and Murphy both do the hard yards aswell as shoot.

gbandit Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 He’s a one-way player. He’s more than just an exceptional striker of a football. He can drive with the ball and can cross a ball but he’s almost entirely useless out of possession compared to you average winger these days Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Putting him on right wing doesn't help. He's not a right winger. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 I assumed he was coming on to play LW and try and score a goal on the counter. There's no point having him on for anything else. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Rather Osula comes on at RW and Barnes upfront to use his pace and nominally press. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sibierski Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Barnes needs minutes to get up to speed. Probably should be starting one of the next two games because we need him to be more match sharp. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lad is useless on the right flank and Gordon isn't much better on the right either. Hopefully we can get our money back in the summer he's a good player but his limitations are a bit of an issue for us imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully we can get our money back in the summer he's a good player but his limitations are a bit of an issue for us imo. Probably for Gordon midweek against Liverpool. It’s a squad game and we’ve spent £40m on him so he needs to be trusted to start games, and we need him more sharp for when he is called upon. Has it’s positives a same XI every week, but it also leads to squad players being off the pace when they are required. Got a cup final coming up, potentially good chance of any cup final run and still UCL run in. Rotation is going to be needed from here on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The College Dropout Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 He's not starting against Liverpool imo. Howe might schedule Gordon in for 2x 60-70 minute games as a way of resting. That's the Bruno G "rest". Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sibierski Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 Doesn’t step up next three games, then I’m not having any chat he has to stay. He’s the luxury signing for depth and now needs to show it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
