Does everybody think he should be slated ? , he’s not that bad a player , keeper made good save with feet and the chip that hit the bar could have happened to anyone , the only problem I see with him is his fitness

And that is constructive as my argument will get.

He’s an excellent player and has been a very good signing.
However, like many of our players, JR likes to play him out of position

The first miss I can just about accept even though it’s an absolute sitter they happen to everyone.
The second he is trying to be far too fancy. I don’t care what anyone says he’s about 3 yards out and the keeper is getting back to his feet just smash it hard and low into the corner.
What I absolutely cannot accept is his role or lack of in the 3rd. Rooney literally walks past him, receives the ball and fizzes it across goal for Conway to score a tap in.
I think you can see in glimpses he’s a good player but far too many times he’s easy to play against imo. He will cut infield and pass it to a centre mid. He doesn’t have the pace or strength to beat anyone with the exception of the old shoulder drop he does every now and again.
He always looks like he’s away to get injured too, it sounds harsh but he looks/plays like a frail old man that you can tell was good years ago but now struggles with his mobility.

He's been hot and cold. Excellent on his day, very poor on others, injured a fair bit.
I do think we'd see a lot more from some of our players if we could find a striker who could play up front on his own or find a pairing who could play in central midfield as a 2.
As it happens we've got to have Boyle at WB, Nisbet or Doidge playing out of position or not in the side, etc etc.
352 gets as close as we can to playing to most players' strengths but you've still got Boyle at WB and no place for Murphy. 451 you get Boyle and Murphy into decent positions but neither of our strikers look right playing that way.
Our squad is weird and I could see us having to shift a few good players who don't fit to bring in a couple who just fit better. The problem is, some of the players we might need to shift might be more recent arrivals.

I’m not sure he’s good enough now for us. He’s clearly been a good player but he’s extremely slow and i think the team suffers with trying to fit him into it.
Maybe i’m wrong but i don’t think it was worth signing him.

He can go back to Ibrox any time he likes. Both misses were unforgivable

Foot through it for me.
If I see anyone in that position, for or against us and they have they have that chance I’m expecting the net to burst.

I like him and he shouldn't be hammered for missing a chance.
But I fear we've got him a few years too late. Worried his injuries have taken their tool.

You'll be licking his hoop if he goes on a good run. Unforgiveable I've forgiven him already, a human who made a mistake, nothing more.

Sadly, players live and die by what they do on the big stage. Murphy was given the perfect chance to prove his worth, and came up short. Not only was it an horrific double miss, it was like a shot in the arm for St Johnstone - just as Nisbet's pen miss in the SC Semi was for Hearts.
He may go on to score and make lots of goals for Hibs, but we need our better players to perform when it really matters.

He missed 2 chances the boys mince. Get rid and sign better he's done.

Folk are debating the 2 chances and I can see both sides of the argument. What we should be talking about is the 3rd goal. Absolutely unforgivable.

He replaced Horgan and so far for me has not been as effective as Daryl was. The stats back that up in terms of goals and more particularly assists per minute. Horgan also provided a bit of a buzz and energy and worked far harder tracking back than Murphy imo but that is a bit unfair as I have only seen Murphy on TV. No doubt there is ability but it hasn't really led to many goals or assists.
