Always thought he was out of his depth in the championship.

Now he's starting in the premiership im a little baffled.

I know his stats and match ratings always seem to be decent but I never see it myself.

Does anyone see something in him that I'm missing?

Not me, just join the slag our players off company

Works hard, around 6'0" so helps out at set pieces at the back. Not the quickest but tracks back defensively. Best played as an inside forward so he can cut inside, as he is right footed but invariably plays on the left wing in a 4-4-2. Solid squad player, only in his mid 20's I think - nice option to have, just perhaps not a match winner on his own at the top level of the game

The need to pull our squad apart is relentless.

only a couple more left and we'd have done the full squad.



Once again:-

We really are shite supporters.

Not sure this type of sensible well balanced response is warranted at the moment..
Can you try to add in some unnecessary negativity please?

Every player has the chance to improve. Give them that chance.

Line four is answered by what is happening in line two...i'll let you figure out the rest

 

[blockhseagull]

Maybe wouldn't want him in your ideal starting 11 but puts in a shift and I'm sure will be another player who improves with each game

He's gash and his Mum smells of haggis.

Happy he is part of our squad

His Manager, who sees him in training every day ?

A couple of media outlets I read over the weekend had him as our best player at Leicester. I thought he looked okay when he came on against City. Perhaps you need to reset your preconceptions?

#together

It's almost as if people view #together as a marketing ploy and don't actually buy into its ethos.

How strange.

We're only #together when we're winning,

[Deadly Danson]

I think Murphy is a better player than he believes he is. He doesn't seem to have the confidence to try and beat the defender and so too often doubles back and the momentum is lost. I do think he's got it in him if he just believed in himself but until he does that he constantly disappoints for me.

 

[martin tyler]

In all honesty I just don't know why we havnt replaced all 25 of the squad as they are clearly all rubbish.

Twelve years of scant posts sums you up

I like Murphy and his consistent contributions to Albion's success since we signed him. He's a also a key part of our work without the ball.

The writer for the Independent who was there on Saturday rated him our joint best player with Dunk. Just an opinion, but interesting to get that of an experienced outsider.

Interesting thoughts. But all our other wide midfielders offer so much more going forward that do make them potential match winners. Even lua lua.

Maybe if we asked our full backs to be a bit more disciplined we could play with a someone in his position like lua lua with less defensive responsibility?
