Is it possible that Chris has forgotten that we signed Izquierdo and that he also picked him for today's match day squad?

Exactly. I never expected to see Izquierdo come on in that situation. Murphy has proven for us in the past that he can be defensively diligent.
I thought the same.
I like Murphy a lot, but I would have liked to have seen Izquierdo as the outlet after Knocky came off.
Because Chris Hughton is an experienced, intelligent and thoughtful football manager, having been in the game for over 40 years. He sees the players week in, week out and knows who can do which job. He also knows the relative readiness and appropriateness of each player in any given situation.
If he feels Izquierdo isn't the right player to come on (and more pertinently Jamie Murphy is), I'm going with his superior knowledge.
Izquierdo came on at Watford and worked the line in attack and defence that day.
He knows how to do the dirty work as well as flair up front.
It was 0-0 v Watford. We were looking for a goal to win it and therefore that substitution made sense at the time. Murphy today was the right choice. If we were one down or it had been 0-0. We'd probably have seen Izquierdo on.
