Clough admitted he want's 3 or 4 quality players to help us next-season; on the evidence of today, make that 6 or 7. First half was as bad anything I have seen this season. Slow, ponderous, totally lacking any cutting edge; only changed once Clough brought off Porter and McGinn. Then it took a defensive error to let in Murphy; from his goal, we raised the tempo and started looked threatening. Playing Murphy in a centre forward role proved to be turning point; always on the move and comfortable with balls played to his fees, uses his quick feet and pace over 2 yards to turn defenders. He finds space in the channels, becomes a good target and able to use his pace to free himself of defenders. Baxter has quick feet, but is slow rarely runs the channels, seems to look disinterested. Porter is an absolute joke, surely, surely destined for Goole Town (Bs), easily the worst player for Utd in recent history.
I'd play Murphy down the middle against Hull, put the busy Davies on the left and pray Utd don't play like they did in the 1st half today.
