danny murphy was dropped yesterday for the leicester match and in all fairness it had been coming. his displays over the past few weeks have been laboured to say the least. i just wandered why he has been so poor this season. i mean last season he was voted player of the year and was probably one of the highest scoring midfielders in the premiership. i think he scored 10-12 goals. he made up for his lack of pace with superb technical ability. i remember his goal at goodison which was technically superb.
however this season he seems to be off the boil. giving the ball away frequently, not getting forward enough and seriously lacking form. the fact he's playing wide right doesn't help as he's not a wide man but i still thought he would be able to adapt. maybe the guy thought he was better than he actually is. remember he was going to the world cup until he got injured. what do you feel about murphy? squad player or better? if someone came in for him at a decent price would you offload him?
