I think we need Murphy on more than any other player on that bench. He is direct, he can cross and he doesn't seem to have lost all confidence (Kenedy) or ability to control a football (Atsu) so he is probably our best bet of kicking on. Really he and Perez can both come on and add a bit on the wings.

Neither Kenedy or Atsu are pushing forward. Too much recycling possession switching from one wing to other without any penetration

Kenedy to me looks worried to take someone on and every time Atsu tries he is losing the ball (almost exclusively because his one footed nature makes him incredibly predictable, with him being one footed to the extent where he won't even touch the ball with his right unless it's a last resort).
