I was referring to playing the two Murphs, not selecting Brady ahead of Olsson at left
back.
I thought that playing the two Murphys as wide options away from home could work as it gives us threat on the counter. In hindsight though playing them with that central midfield combo left us a bit light in midfield.
I don't understand playing Brady ahead of Olsson at left back if Olsson is available. He is defensively far better even if he has been a bit below par at times this season.
