    Murphy

    Jacob Murphy ranks third for most “open-play expected assists” among Premier League midfielders and forwards 🅰️
    De Bruyne (0.6 per 90) 🥇
    Salah (0.43 per 90) 🥈
    Murphy (0.37 per 90) 🥉

    That is pretty impressive quite frankly.

    If he could convert the chances he gets he'd be talked about a lot more.

    Even so - bloody impressive by him, certainly a good option to have on the bench for a while.

    Cash in on Miggy and keep Murphy whilst we move outselves up.

    Pleasantly surprised by this. He does have his moments.

    Hopefully they'll both be on the bench next season but, if you had to start one, would it be Barnes or Murphy?

    Murphy got a fantastic cross, on his day. But there is not much more in his game as I see it.

    We need squad players, and hes not a bad squad player.

    Barnes 99%.

    That 1% is if we need a very defensive game and I think Murphy offers more in that regard.
