Comparing Armstrong to Murphy?yes. good to see him progressing well. he get into good forward positions and is still scoring at higher levels. I did hear some City fans moaning about his working back and defensive skills, but the guy is a forward. how many times did Armstrong tackle and work back ? Quality player.
It wasn't so much working back, a few times he lost the ball and stood there rather than track back a bit.
Armstrong surprisingly did track back quite well, I remember he scored a decent goal from tackling somebody out wide and winning the ball back.
Not many said he was awful, just that when he wasn't in the game he really wasn't in the game but when he was he could boss it.
Agree. You notice his weakness and fans highlighted it. He wanted encouragement not the moans. I still think he is quality in the making.Comparing Armstrong to Murphy?
That's not even a comparison! Armas job wasn't to track back and defend, he was a lone striker in an attacking formation. Murphy is a winger whose job is to get forward and make goals and defend/cover/help his full back when defending!
I don't think for a minute that anybody doubted his ability when he had the ball! At times he was unplayable. It was when we didn't have the ball and he couldn't be bothered to track back, couldn't win a 50/50 with himself! The times we were losing and he'd go missing for games at a time! That's what people were critical about!

Not comparing at all. Just I loved Armstrong and what he gave us, same as Murphy. That hope that lifted those players, first half of season, shame we all turned into moaners again !Comparing Armstrong to Murphy?

Us Cov fans can be a bit moany a times.I never boo'd him or stood up and shouting abuse, I just pointed out in comments about the match and player ratings etc.
Don't agree with fans when he was on the sideline and they stand up and shout stuff, what's the point in that?
I still remember when he missed a penalty and a bloke near me shouting "fucking SISU" and was being deadly serious.
Kent had pace to use. He could've taken ball into box more imo. But he was useful player. Not sure we got the best out of him.Always liked Murphy, it was Kent that frustrated me, not enough end product for thr talent he posessed. But tbf we did miss his directness when he left, albeit we had already started on the poor run when he was still here.

Yes, they need to learn to get their heads up more often, difficult for some. I liked the threat Kent gave us. We did miss him when he went back. Good luck to him for the future.Again Kent is hopefully one that will be coached with that going forward, nothing more frustrating than tricks and stepovers to get to the byline and it go out for a goalkick or be blocked.
He was a bit like Reid in the fact that it would take the pressure off the defence a bit simply by legging it down the pitch with the ball. Reid does that well sometimes too.
Jacob murphy just helped put them in semis. Yo thibk sum delusional gans did not rate him haha
Hooefully we can build on the u20 world cup won by taking this one home too.
bit harsh. others were struggling after Xmas. not nice wishing a broken leg. last season we could've done with a few 'breaks' imoIf Murphy would have broken his leg at Christmas we would have finished in the playoffs at least.
I wish we could re run that season again with that changed variable.
keep making yourself look stupid.
dont make me block you
The stick Murphy got online from our frustrated, but clever fans was justified
