Big opportunity for Murphy today.

[BLUEAWAY]

As one of his doubters I will be interested to see if does as well as Ojo.
I’d be delighted to be proven wrong!

Indeed. Did very well for the goal, I mentioned this in the match thread.
Still frustrating to watch though.

He is a luxury of player at times but his quality is there for all to see. When he is firing on all cylinders he's unplayable. Never forget in the Prem when two full backs were subbed because he was bullying them. That Murphy is a joy to watch

I wouldn't go that far :hehe:

Get enough chances to play and the law of averages says things will happen.

Glad he's been involved in something positive for his and City's sakes however, one swallow and all that.
Will save any change of opinion if and when I see some consistency.

For now though all good :thumbup:

The thing about Murphy is that he's at his best when not playing as a traditional winger.

His last season for Norwich he played a more roaming role. His runs, pace, crossing and finishing were sublime.

He can easily beat players when running at them at pace but he doesn't seem to do it from a standing start, which has been frustrating. Especially as before MM we weren't playing to his strengths, we were a very static team and expecting him to perform a task he isn't good at.

However, the system that MM and TC have implemented seems to suit him and Ojo very well. They get to drop a bit deeper and make runs to receive the ball. Both have goals and assists since MM and TC took over.

Agree with that.
Problem is as well Warnock and Harris very rigid with players and allowing them to express themselves. The new set up seems to work for that.

Class performance from Murphy today.

I hope MM doesn't drop him next game like Warnock and Harris always did no matter how he played.
