Looks like Hourihane has been subbed off early on, so presumably injury. Hope nothing too serious. Foul by Bacuna, never liked him, didn't look bad bad to be honest, so hopefully not a serious one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's basically Conor every game for us in the PL (and a lot in the Championship too if I'm being completely honest). Except he is always an option receive a pass, moves it on quickly and contributes goals and assists in the PL at a quicker rate than anyone but the top tier of wingers, CAMs and strikers.

I didn't think it even looked like a foul? Looked more like it was caused by Hourihane stretching to reach the ball before Bacuna got to it after he miscontrolled the ball?

Went missing most games and made our midfield easier to walk through by the opposition team but great when we had set pieces and we haven’t had a set piece person since.

Absolutely not, that's his main issue. He hides and takes too long to move the ball. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McGinn doesn't hide, but he's just the same. Too long on the ball and gets caught far too often. Hourihane and McGinn are not good enough for where Villa want to be. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just read that Hourihane is out. So Browne and Hendrick will start I think. Although I don't think any of them are a holding mid which Kenny likes so Molumby could start as the 6. A Glenn Whelan that we had in the championship would actually walk in to that team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T2CSCFC Posted March 23, 2021 Full Member Share Posted March 23, 2021 Hourihane has been an unmitigated disaster for us (Swansea) and that view is almost universally held now I've never seen a pro footballer who can't even run let alone tackle. Since he's come in he's completely unbalanced the side and lost all energy or zip. His close control is very poor and he hides every game. The odd free kick doesn't go anywhere near enough to compensate for all that. Also think he didn't fancy it one bit v Cardiff and couldn't wait to get off. Please take him back. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the feedback. Which I'm not surprised by. He was a fantastic pro for us, but definitely would go missing in games and didn't have the legs for high energy. It's not a shock that a few on this forum have been trying to say Conor should still be here because he can do a job. Genuinely hope Swansea come up, have a bit of a soft spot for them and was actually at the Johnstone paint final (equivalent sponsor) from that year, when they beat Carlisle (I think) 1-0 and Trundle scored a worldie volley at the millennium stadium. The Swansea fans I was with made a huge thing about it being in Cardiff too which was fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
