I've noticed that Etuhu is a real fans favourite, he has his song and he seems very popular, despite having an indifferent start, whereas Murphy is hated by almost everyone and much of our lacklustre performances is pinned down solely on him.
They both have been sitting back.
Their problem, especially Murphy's has been a lack of attacking movement has left nothing on in terms of passing the ball forward.
With them in central midfield we will have the edge over teams at this level, players need to make runs in front so we can use the passing range of in particular Murphy.
