Jamie Redknapp has compared Jacob Murphy to ‘prime Steven Gerrard’ as he piled praise on Newcastle star 😮:
🗣️ “He doesn’t waste any time. This cross here [for a Isak’s header that went over the crossbar] reminds me of Steven Gerrard in his prime.
“Coaching, confidence, feeling loved. I think that’s what we need sometimes. When your boss turns around and says you’re my guy, you can really do it, you can make things happen.
“His goal involvements when you look at that, look at those numbers with the players that he’s associated with there – Salah, Isak, Jacob Murphy – if you’d have said that a few years ago, you’d have gone: ‘you are talking complete nonsense, there’s no way that’s possible.’
“It’s testament to Eddie, to Jason Tindall and all the staff there because they’ve done an incredible job with him, because I personally didn’t see it. But it just shows you what you can do if you get a little bit of belief.”
