He was great today i thought. Full of ideas and energy. I have a feeling he will be a real find. The rest were dogshit. The fullbacks were comical, no creation in the middle, Elliot had chocolate wrists and what few chances we had were ballsed up by piss poor strikers. We need 2 fullbacks, A creative CM and a proven CF in Jan as a minimum. Back to Murphy. He will play a bit part in this season for us.. mark my words.
He may not be everyone’s cup of tea but just as a straight comparison in attacking impact it was chalk and cheese between Mitro and Jos. Think we need to revert back to one up to tighten the team but should be between Gayle and Mitro, not Joselu.
Nar not that convinced yet. He looked okay don't get me wrong and his efforts to convince are duly noted, however other than that pass h made **** all happen, Atsu did the exact same pass recently that (I think) Josse ****ed up and barely anyone batted an eyelid. He definitely has talent, but we seen nothing near his best yet like. Aaron's deserves a bigger run-out.
He looked all over the place from where I was. I’ve seen more commanding mice than him when ‘marshalling’ the defence.
Aye but what keeper really marshalls his defence anymore? The Schmeichel era is long gone, I think now they all just shout to be ignored. We need lascelles, he will marshal this defence!
At least we're going to find out if he's any good now he's actually getting played. It's a step up for the lad and he will take time to adapt and refine his game. He did reasonably well today but his final ball was just as ****e as all our other wingers unfortunately. Is he as good as Atsu defensively do we think?
