Good shout whoever said they thought he’d bring Murphy back in. 
 

.. Not so sure about that one Eddie but nothing else has really worked on that side.

That was me, just felt like something he would do and always does when we struggle.

Hopefully this jinxes things in our favour, but Murphy starting is completely uninspiring to me. If it's to help out defensively then to me that's surprising, as his defensive contribution is a bit of a myth.

have to say I think this is the kind of game where the Joelinton/Willock left side is really effective so a bit disappointed we're not doing it, but maybe it's too many games for Willock atm and we want to play Gordon on the left.

Once again defensive ability/work rate the priority with Murphy instead of Barnes…

 

 

 

To be fair it’s the right game to prioritise those traits

Last time everyone got a bit annoyed at a bit of a less fashionable, workhorse type starting a game. Was when Longstaff started against Arsenal. So fingers crossed this works and we can get a result.

Murphy > Barnes & Gordon on RW for me. They simply aren't suited to play there. Start Gordon at LW, run him to the ground, put on Barnes for him around the 60-70th minute mark. Use the squad rather than putting square pegs in round holes.
