I won't change my view. Good going forward, flaws defensively. Chilwell is better and we have upgraded with Pervis.

strong and stable with me, or...
Not being as good as Chilwell or Estupinan doesn't preclude him from having been fantastic for us, flaws and all. Most of our players have flaws of some kind - doesn't stop them being fantastic for us though.

Not at all. We are all entitled to our opinion and mine differs from others.
We’re good at revisionism - see the Potter threads!

But he was fantastic for us and everybody loved him. I don't get the lack of recognition in retrospect.
Some people still have an issue with Murray....

Not really, l think most of us thought that the time. He wasn't player of the season for no reason. Ok so the way he left the club left a bad taste in the mouth, and he has struggled since joining Chelsea, but there is still a very good player in there somewhere. You don't become a bad player overnight.

A deserved POTS that we broke the same day we broke Chelsea and Potter in that 4-1 drubbing!

It remains to be seen whether he recovers his form but from where I'm sitting he DID become a bad player overnight after the Amex drubbing.
I can't see him ever winning the Chelsea fans over. His best bet would be to return to Spain and sign for someone like Sevilla / Villareal / Atletico.

I was consistent on the following, before Cucu left.
Veltman was my POTS, a 7 to 9 ten in almost every 2021/22 game imho.
Cucu had a great start …. wow, we have insane pace down the left driving teams back. Then during our eternally shit months mid-season, Cucu was as culpable as anyone else, defensively weak. Finishing with a flurry, fantastic during those glorious final weeks.
Estupinan to me is a far better LB, the real deal. The highest accolade I can give him is “the Caicedo of full backs”.

Took my 11 year old daughter to Chelsea on Saturday. I had to cover her ears when brighton fans were singing "Marc Cucurella, you know you're a cu*t".
She came home from school yesterday and she said she fell out with a boy in her class. I asked her what he had done wrong. She said he was being a Cucurella

Splitter. And he didnt personally applaud me at Griffin Park once.Some people still have an issue with Murray....
Did you actually watch him play? I don't care what he has achieved at chelsea but for us he was a joy to watch. Our own proper left back. This position has been aw weak pont for us in history. Years of Mayo and like. Covered by good temporary loans of Ward and the brilliant Bridge.
