Ramifications Posted December 11, 2022 Share Posted December 11, 2022 I think Sibley is better at taking corners. Conor needs to start working some magic. RoyMac5, Carl Sagan and angieram 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rammieib Posted December 11, 2022 Share Posted December 11, 2022 If he wasn’t told to hoof it every time he gets the ball we might be able to use his skills a little more. The Scarlet Pimpernel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich3478 Posted December 11, 2022 Share Posted December 11, 2022 He’s been pretty underwhelming for me! obviously a good left foot and can shoot, but corners not been great. personally thought him and bird would mean we control possession and the game, but the opposite is probably true. not sure it’s age related either as he still seems to be fit and does a lot of running.

He needs to do more work where it matters in the middle of the pitch. Stop drifting to the left touchline and getting in the way of our left back and wide midfielder. angieram and alram 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alram Posted December 11, 2022 Share Posted December 11, 2022 the thing is his set peices have always been his strength. teams have often sacrificed the team to him to get him on the pitch just for his set plays. you would assume set plays are something you never lose as a footballer.

Caerphilly Ram Posted December 11, 2022 Share Posted December 11, 2022 Hourihane has scored 3 goals and provided 3 assists so far this season. Mendez-Laing has 3 goals and 4 assists yet everyone would say he’s been a relative success. McGoldrick 4 goals, 2 assists, Collins has 7 goals and 0 assists. Funny how our expectations and perceptions can differ from player to player. Plenty of games left for Hourihane, and others, to continue contributing to the team. He can definitely give more from set pieces, I’d like to see him and Bird with another body in midfield, Knight or Smith if we can find a right back, I think a third midfielder allowing Hourihane to roam around a bit more in the attacking third of the pitch would see him improve on his goals and assists.

Gee SCREAMER !! Posted December 11, 2022 Share Posted December 11, 2022 At both Plymouth and Barnsley. particularly Barnsley, he spent a fair amount of time out wide. He's actually never been an out and out midfielder and certainly not a holding one. Bit like Bradley Johnson never was one. He got 15 goals for Norwich playing wide.

Not sure where you're getting your info from, but he spent most of his time at Plymouth at CM in what was typically a form of 442. About 5 games at LM, a couple at RM and 1 at LB. In his first season at Barnsley, he may have played on the left a lot more, but still played in a central position twice as often. 2nd season almost exclusively back to playing in the middle. He only played Central in the half season before Villa signed him. Since Villa signed him in 2017, he played at LM only twice, and once at LB (for Ireland) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought him and Bird both did well in the middle of the park, not spectacular but battled when they had to, won the ball back and used it well. I really want to see a 3 man midfield of Hourihane, Bird and Knight for the next game. Collins would probably miss out with McGoldrick the central striker.

uttoxram75 Posted December 17, 2022 Share Posted December 17, 2022 I was disappointed with Conor first half. Not sure he puts everything into it sometimes, the hard yards to give the extra ability chance to flourish, maybe its me and I expect a bit more from him. Better second half, crisper passes, bit more urgency about him. angieram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
