Thread: Big opportunity for Murphy today.

  1. #1

    Big opportunity for Murphy today.

    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

    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

    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.

    To be fair
    He looked more interested than usual
    He worked harder than usual
    He defended better than usual.
    Laid on a goal and scored.
    I’d say he had a good day.

    Him or Ojo. Still Ojo.

    Not for me, Murphy deserves his place and personally rather we built up a player we own, either to sell on or use.

    Helping Ojo only helps him and Liverpool in the long run

    You have to say he took it! Waited a while for that performance, let’s hope he kicks on.

    agreed, if we get the best out of Murphy we either have a good player next season, or someone we can sell for a decent fee.
    if we get the best out of Ojo it'll just mean we can't afford him

    Re: Big opportunity for Murphy today.

    If you play well you should keep your place.

    Ojo has proved what a good player he is given a run of games.
    Not being chosen to start is tough to take but hopefully he will be full of confidence when he gets his chance.
    In other words, Murphy played well, he should start next game.

    Assuming that is, Mick wants to play a similar game.
    In Mick we trust.

    Re: Big opportunity for Murphy today.

    For me the highlight was seeing all the other players mobbing him after his goal. They were clearly delighted for him which tells us that he is liked and rated by his peers. That was great to see. Mick has to take a lot of credit for his man management. Who would seriously have thought each of Vaulks, Murphy, Flint and Pack would step up collectively? I doff my cap to the man, I really do.

    Well said. Flints been out in the cold, discarded by Wednesday and he’s slotted in for us on a nice run now. If he can get the best out of Murphy it will be like a new, top signing.

    I think Flint for Wednesday was more of a injury issue and manager change as I'm sure he was doing well before that.

    I don't understand that.

    Murphy scored 8 goals last season despite limited playing time and 4 in the Premier League in his first season but Warnock and Harris never played him regularly! He scored and had an assist today but Mick substituted him for Bacuna and Coventry pulled a goal back when he was running tired defenders ragged?
