I think Murphy is being judged against the type of Captain the club needs, rather than the type of captain he is.
ATM we need someone in the tough nut, rev em up and rip em a new one mould, whereas he is the silent, follow my lead type. He would be very effective in a different environment, but I don't think he is doing himself justice here.
Having said that, he is not to blame for that issue. We don't really have the type of player that fits the bill right now, so by default he is put in to the captain role as probably our best player. It is made all the more stark at present by a lack of form on his part, but form is temporary and his class will shine through.
