lexicon Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 Shouldn't be anywhere near the first team when we need some industry and grit. When the going gets tough, he's the last guy you need. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbcuk Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 Did he even play, didn’t see anything of note from him, where we are sitting, waste of time unless he has a freekick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lexicon Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 Absolutely raging at that performance. Need to offload him asap and get someone in who actually works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farlz Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 Well would you look at that, the Conor cycle strikes again. Scores a set piece, everyone demands he's in the team, performs shit.. IMAGINE MY SHOCK. The bloke is **** useless and I'll say it time and time again. It's a joke that he still keeps getting these chances. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elton Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 I expect Smith thought we would be on the front foot against Southampton, so Connor got his fairly usual start against the other bottom sides. Invisible as expected but harsh to single him out in a poor team display but we just can’t afford to carry him. He only wants the ball when he is in loads of space and can’t impose himself on a game at this level. Great left foot or not, he shouldn’t be near the first team starting line up.

Keyblade Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 I don't know why he was acting frustrated. He's utterly useless in games we aren't thrashing the other team. He might as well not have even been there today. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 Had a higher passing ratio than Luiz who made just 10 passes more yet spend 40 minutes more on the pitch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 The only appropriate summary of his performance today is 'spineless'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robbie09 Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 Looking every inch the £1m player he is. Just not good enough for this level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 All this criticism, yet of our eight wins this season he's started seven of those scoring six goals and getting two assists. I don't think he's great, but I hate to say it but our other midfielders McGInn aside, aren't any better, and even McGinn hasn't been any better recently. Unfairly made a scapegoat every time he plays and we don't win. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 Problem is he's very easy to bypass in a press. We saw it in the play off final v Fulham and it's happened v top teams in this league. Ultimately against slower teams like Newcastle he can get on the ball more and get us moving. Still I think he's a decent squad player and if the worst happens he's obviously a good player to have back starting regularly in the championship so just typing get rid is a bit silly considering he has contributed goals and assists this season as Useless states. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVTuco Posted December 22, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted December 22, 2019 Rather play him than both Nakamba and Luiz. Or Trez. Him and Jack need to play close to each other for us to create anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 Yesterday was dreadful but he has been a good player for us. The problem is that football is all about levels and Hourihane isn't a Premier League player. Basically he has a Premier League left foot but everything else about his skill set is Championship level at best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeepDish Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 He will have some great games and some nightmares. But I am confident that he will create enough goals and points that we stay up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
