Jacob Murphy

There's a tweet for you because every club's got one, you know, and every outside fan sees that player and they go, when they hear the home fans moaning about it, because I know Liverpool fans have a love-hate with him, and I look at it and go, how? Whenever I see him, he's great.

At Newcastle's, it's Jacob Murphy.

Newcastle fans won't have him, yet when people look at him from outside, they love Jacob Murphy.

Maybe that's a tweet for you this week.

OK, staying with the Cup as well, because our poor friend Mark Goldbridge said, He made a rod for his own back.

He doesn't do anything.

Jacob Murphy, again, ugly.

There's three uglies.

Just like Craig Hope has his three ones.

There's three uglies.

Bachman, Barnes and Murphy.

And you might think that's a bit harsh, but Murphy did absolutely nothing.

He's nearly as bad as Alanga was last season.

But it's the midfield we need to sort out.

Is Fabian Schor an option in that number six role just to give a buffer between the back, you know, the back four and that midfield? um is he going to go with bamba perhaps he was brought in as a defensive midfielder but he hasn't quite trusted him yet um or is he going to go for the lewis miley and sean stir combination again with something different it's going to be interesting to see is he going to pull a wild card out um on the left and right um i i would imagine that there will be a collective groan if jacob ramsey starts at the weekend but you know it's It's early days, isn't it? Is Yaisler going to go for that? Many were very critical of Jacob Murphy, although he is the best crosser of the ball at this moment in time.

Or do they go for something a little bit more far left and go for Harvey Barnes on the right and go for Toure on the left? There's few options, really.

Does he go for Pardo? Does he go for Pardo as a winger? I genuinely think at home as well, we should be pushing more forward, going for the jugular and having more in the box, having more of a shot as well.

Just have a go at them, you know.

That's what we want.

But yeah, I mean, of course, Wissakhan, play on the right but I don't think he will do that I think he will stick to I think he'll probably stick with Jacob Murphy unless you know unless there's a problem with him we've got Willock as well of course don't forget Willock Willock could play up front I've been going on about this for probably two three years now give Willock a run up front whenever we're short the guy's quick and he can finish you know Willock Willock with Wisseroffen up front Barnes on the right Turi on the left Sean Stern Lewis Miley in the middle You know, maybe that's the way forward.

Or, you know, a slightly different formation, play with wing-backs.

Sean Sterk could move in there, a young 18, 19-year-old.

Jacob Murphy, this is a guy who could have a split of set pieces, but also may only go 60 minutes.

We saw it against Leeds.

He has plenty of upside, but he also has a lot of downside if he gets subbed off early and they don't get any corners, that kind of a thing.

We see he is a left footer and he has looks like he split with Barnes throughout the season.

That seems like a weird split, but I'm trying to look here.

Jacob Murphy, Lewis Miley.

Yeah, we may actually have a Lewis Hall and Lewis Miley split aside pieces.

He saw an opportunity to take a ball earlier than expected.

And it wasn't just the keeper he caught out because I think it was Jacob Murphy had a really good opportunity to block that.

But because he hadn't got his feet organized, he couldn't get his foot up in time.

If you watch it, he kind of does this little flick thing at the back and he completely misses the ball.

But yes, lack of quality, I think, to bring on and have an immediate impact.

I think a lot of us made the point of Murphy and Barnes are impact subs.

And playing together didn't particularly work.

But that's what we're going to see.

unless we can turn

Dedic into a right winger or what have you.

But we're going to see Murphy on that side.

Again, I'm sat here slating Murphy, but I also said that's the easiest place to slate.

Last week was okay.

Yeah, last week was okay, but Everton... usually have a very good uh points against for big defenders uh so so yeah i i like uh oh shade this this weekend igor jesus i think comes in for dan and doy who's been pretty disappointing and he jesus got the winning goal last weekend so i think he deserves a start and he's playing coventry so go pick him up and along goes injury which we still don't know what it actually is but he's definitely out opens the spot for either toure or Jacob Murphy.

The fact that fan tracks are projecting Jacob Murphy underlines my projection that it's going to be Touré.

I think...

I think the fact that Toure gives you more of a counter and explosive runner type of presence means that he should be the one coming in.

I saw Sam shaking his head going, no chance.

to tell you the truth I haven't watched him play now but we'll be keeping an eye on Saturday and hopefully he's having an off day but yeah we do need a right winger especially with the land guard injured now for a number of weeks even though he was going for his MRI today according to MJ our manager and which will be interesting when we come to the tactics board, who we're going to put there, because I would not be putting Jacob Murphy there.

Yeah, absolutely.

And yeah, I wasn't trying to buy your player something, don't worry.

It's interesting you put that because it's something that I didn't necessarily think about.

But I do think Tino will start the game.

Other comments in here? In this league, like you said, Jaisler also said Murphy was a good footballer.

We have eyes.
