Murphy has actually been decent under Howe but I'm surprised because not had a minute this season. Let's hope he plays well.
Get in Murphy! Buzzing for the lad! Slightly surprised Wilson isn't getting the nod though but back the boys! HOWAY THE LADS!
I think Murphy may actually be the best crosser in our team on the right really. I'm still concerned that Barnes was bought for 35m and isn't first choice tbh, he was great vs Brentford.
Hands up anyone who thought THAT ****e would be the team we put out in the Champions League after we finished 4th last season? ****ing Burn and Murphy? Am I ****ing hallucinating?
Oh, and blow me down with a feather - 4-3-3, at all costs, regardless of opposition, players form or results. Just.....wow.
In the 1-0, won by a lucky penalty vs the mighty Brentford - I'm inclined to go with "nah" if the statement is "Barnes was great".
tbf the types of players we have it makes sense. We have attacking wingers, but no real attacking central midfielders really. We have willock, joelinton, tonali who are not out and out attacking mids, more box to box or holding. Bruno also not a CAM. Longstaff is longstaff. Closest thing we'd have to a number 10 is maybe gordon or Isak?
