Topram Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 He’s better than what we have for sure, but we need more then just him added to the attacking line up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcfcreece1601 Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 I can't believe people are saying he isn't better than what we have , agreed he's not a game changer but certainly an improvement on the wing and offer us something different Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCFC1388 Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 Cocu has openly stated he wants a winger/wide man and has been targetting them since the end of last year. So its pretty much come from the horses mouth as to what we want and Murphy fits the bill. The reason we ended up 4231 with inverted wide men is because other than Jozefzoon who Cocu clearly doesnt rate we had no choice but to play them.

JustOneBiblicalKazim Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 Cocu’s favoured system is 4-3-3, said so himself, I think it’s just that the current squad suits 4-2-3-1 more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saul Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 I would be massively disappointed if this were true. Why on earth would we want a pacy, direct wide man who will run at, and beat a player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be with a view to a permanent or option to buy/terminate in Jan - that way if he performs well either us or another team buys him in the Jan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghost of Clough Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 I didn't realise how well he finished the season. 4 goals and 4 assists in the final 8 games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black ('n' White) Sheep Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 At PSV, Cocu played 2 very quick wingers in Hirving Lozano and Steven Bergwijn in a 4-3-3. If we're genuinely looking at wing players, we could be seeing more than one coming in over the next few weeks to fit that formation. I wouldn't be against Jacob Murphy being one of them... the Wednesday fans seem to rate him highly and he got a decent assist against us at their place.

jono Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 I really am not as schooled as many on here about the science of 433 442 4231 or whatever but in my mind a wide man who distorts an opponents shape and strategy by virtue of playing on the margins, beating a man, being wide so stretching a defence and creating space, crosses or cutting in is a huge value. .. he’s past his best but Hoilet was always one of those. Benherama is one now and likely to be a prem target. Johnny Russell did it - inconsistently - for us but whoever it is is you are a better side with one in the mix.
