AshVilla Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 It wouldn't surprise me if he wanted out. He's been chronically mismanaged the whole time he's been here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Selling him would have been such a backward step and Brighton must have taken us for mugs by showing any sort of interest in our player. It's amazing how one result can change some people outlook on on season ahead! I just hope we are gonna start performing like how we did on Saturday more regularly! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I laughed and told him his money was safe but hey ho, thank you Conor! 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villabromsgrove Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 I think Bruce gave up on Hourihane because he couldn't convert him into a "Jedinak/Whelan bites yer leg" midfielder. Before Saturday he may well have been happier replacing him with a "Colback" type player. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's Bruces job to get the best out of the players at his disposal. Davis did have a big affect but Hourihane has been here long enough for the manager to know how to get the best out of a player he signed. I'm sure we all hope regardless of who is up front the player we signed from Barnsley is the player we see in a villa shirt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dn1982 Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 Why do I keep seeing Hourihane classed as just an attacking midfielder by so many? He's more than that. A lot of fans seem to think he's like a number 10 but he only played as a 10 on Saturday after we went to 3- 1 and Lansbury dropped alongside Whelan. I've no idea why Bruce did this seeing as we were in total control. He isn't a Sigurddson type of player. For me he's ideal in a 3 and could easily play in a 2 with a good partner. Lansbury seems to be more of 10 player but I also think he'd be better suited to playing in a 3. Hopefully even though Jedinak is knocking on the door we stick with a 3 of Whelan Hourihane and Lansbury/Onomah for a run of games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobzy Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 I feel bad criticising him today as he gets about the place and offers the most from our central midfield, but I think every single one of his "final" balls was poor. Shame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 He was pretty good, radar was a little off at times, but no where near as 'off' as Elmo's crossing. Overall a solid performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
