Sparkle Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 We do have premiership standard players and Jeff proves that, certainly another 3-4 and if you look at some of the premiership teams maybe 7-8 as it stands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just to follow up myself, Hendrick and grant have proved that this season others from Hughes Ince Carson Thorne easily spring to mind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's been getting better each week and his last few performances indicate we have a fantastic player on our hands! Glad it's working out for him, I was happy for him to move as we had a surplus of CM's and Jeff looked like he needed a move to progress to the level he wanted to be at. We got a good fee, Burnley got a good player and Jeff got to the Prem. I think everyone's a winner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just saying he's done really well for us, especially in recent weeks. We seem to be far more savvy in comparison to two years ago and also bought Robbie Brady on deadline day.

Bris Vegas Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 Hendrick's biggest problem was playing in a pro-active side. Tasked with getting on the ball, linking play and being a creative force. He's just go missing eery other game. Burnley play re-active football. They mostly either defend or just hook the ball in the corner. Their style of football, like Republic of Ireland, suits Hendrick as he doesn't have to think about what he's doing. Glad he's doing well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bris Vegas Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 Just to add one, having a look at some stats: Hendrick in 2014/15 (under Mac) vs Hendick at Burnley Av. passes per game: 41.2 - 29.4 Chances created per game: 1.1 - 0.5 Goals scored: 7 - 2 Assists: 9 - 0 Interceptions per game: 0.4 - 1.3 Aerials won per game: 0.6 - 1.1 Dispossessed per game: 1.6 - 0.9 The statistics go along way to what I suggested about pro-active vs re-active football. Offensively Jeff was much more involved at Derby, while defensively he's much more involved at Burnley. He's not tasked with being a creator at Burnley, not tasked with having to pick out teammates in closed spaces in a pass-and-move style of play. Suits his game better.

Millenniumram Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 Blimey Jeff Hendrick making it in the prem was something I wasn't convinced I was ever gonna see! Good on him, always thought he'd be a championship player his whole career, simply wasn't intelligent or consistent enough to play for us on a regular basis and frankly I thought we'd robbed Burnley. Shows what a system less built around good footballers, but rather effective battlers/ runners does to players like him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All about opinions but as a footballer he's miles off of Hughes and even probably butterfield imo. Perhaps we never saw the best of him, but he disappeared far too often in games for a potential premier league player in my view Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
