QuoteMurphy might just be playing left back for match fitness - maybe Sunderland short of defenders for that match?
It'a a conspiracy I tell ya - playing Breen up front and Murphy at left back, what going on?

Toughen him up by playing him full back!No !
Ask anyone where its tougher to play and up front is your answer.
With some big gorilla kicking lumps out of you for 90 mins
At full back chances are the winger will be quicker and trickier rather
than tough
well i think it will improve his defensive side of the game involving him in more tackles and can only be good for the lad ..Originally Posted by hoops1
What i would be worried about is that M Mc Carthy is now doubting
his original decision to buy Murphy and is now trying to get some sort of value out of him buy playing him in a differnet position, Rather than
just letting him go
Which if is the case would be very bad for the lads career.
He starts up front against Arsenal today. Elliott's injured I think. They've so many injuries that Breen is in the holding role.
Sunderland
B Alnwick, A Stubbs, G Breen, S Caldwell, N Nosworthy, D Whitehead, D Murphy, C Robinson, D Collins, A Gray, J Stead
Subs: K Davis, S Elliott, A Welsh, T Miller, A Le Tallec
Murphy has started against Arsenal .. but where is he playing? Elliot dropped for Stead (?!)
Sorry .. just saw the above post.
Is he really playing up front? Stead, Gray and Murphy? Away to Arsenal? Will be interesting to see how he gets on.
3-1 to Arsenal but I have no idea how Murphy played.
There is no such thing as a miracle cure, a free lunch or a humble opinion.
Daryl played on the left side of midfield and acquitted himself well by all accounts.
Allez les Bleus
Bit slow to track back in the first half, but otherwise an ok performance, probably Sunderland's best player on the day, but that doesn't say much, Toure gave him an awful run around in the first half, less so in the second
murphy did well against arsenal yesterday, easily sunderlands best player and should of been put up the top instead of the left sife of the attack as le tallac couldnt hold up the ball at all.Not bad for an EL player who was playing on these shores a few months ago.
Their other striker jon stead cost over a million and who looks the better player from yesterdays match.Hope mccarthy now plays him and elliot together.
According to the Official Owls website, there is talk of Wednesday taking Daryl Murphy on loan from Sunderland. Don't know much about him other than he scored for Sunderland reserves against Wednesday recently and he used to play for Waterford. Could end up having a strike force of Corr and Murphy.
Is he any good ?
According to someone on btid he's going to the blades on loan. Either move should be good for him as he'll be getting his game anyway.

The Piggies have loads of strikers - let the Owls have Murphy. Last Irish striker from Sunderland wasn't a great success though - one Michael Reddy now plying his trade at Grimsby.
Yes, I remember seeming him play against Arsenal and he looked useful enough. However, with Sunderland not exactly scoring freely why would they let him go on loan ? Do players let go on loan ever really make it for the main club ?
Mick McCarthy seem to be trying to turn him into a winger/wingback which is very strange.
Sunderland haven't many players better than Championship level so a loan won't mean Murphy less well off.
Its official Wednesday have signed Murphy.God i hope he works out cause we are in desperate need of a decent striker.If i have to watch David Graham miss any more sitters i will go crazy.Especialy with The derby coming up soon.
Obviously someone on btid got his wednesdays and uniteds mixed up. Best of luck to him anyway.

I think there's a real opening at SWFC for a forward. Great chance for Murphy. Agreed about Graham.
Is that the David Graham that signed for Torquay from Rangers? I know he scored a lot of goals for Torquay but did he not go to Wigan then last season?
