McEwan's Lager 30,522 Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 He was a lot better yesterday I thought. He lacks acceleration to leave people behind. The two red cards though have really cost Middleton development opportunities. He would have been been great yesterday in the last 15 minutes.

He lacks acceleration to leave people behind. Just not seeing it re being better. Morelos won back the ball and Murphy sort of stumble passed it back to him for an assist. Fair enough. Like in the sheep game he got through on the keeper and failed, as much due to lack of pace like you mention. Lost possession resulting in their player going in on goal and our resultant red. Really can't think of much more contribution than that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TMB 14,167 Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 He looked good from January up until the summer. I thought he was one of our better players from last season (which isn't saying much) and would do a job going forward. So far he just doesn't look at the races. I don't think he can handle the amount of running he's being asked to do. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prso's headband 35,428 Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 25 games, 20 goals or assists. I think the problem is it’s clear our recruitment has went up a few levels and now Murphy is one of our lesser able players. I personally think he’s struggled as well and I’d start Candeias ahead of him, especially on Thursday but I don’t think he’s been as bad as people think either.

Cant pick and choose. Its pretty clear Alfredo is carrying us in the final third at the moment. Besides the threat we pose from set pieces, there's nowhere near enough goals in the side if you take him out of it. A quality attacking midfielder and a couple of wingers is all we're missing if/when Lafferty and Solanke go through. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree Murphy hasn't had a great start but I quite liked him last season and still think he has something to offer. Yesterday was probably his worst game for us though.

When the team came out for the second half I was checking to see if we had made any substitutions, saw Murphy and asked my daughter who he had replaced at half time. Did you miss our first goal?

bluenoz 30,832 Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 I don't mind Jamie Murphy. In fact I think he is quite useful. He is just not a left winger. Gerrard hasn't really played with a number 10 yet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one against Aberdeen was a few inches low of being a quality finish, it just clipped the goalies knee, yip it was a miss but not a Van Vossen.

Trickster_Blue 0 Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 I think he just needs to sharpen his game a bit more. Given time I think he’ll be a good player. Just needs to look up and pass instead of trying to go for the glory goal all the time. That’s one of the frustrating aspects of his game.
