Melon Donkey
I am a little bit perplexed
I'm not meaning to rain on the parade here but I hope to god Bruce plays this kid right.
When we bought Hourihane I thought we were getting a real dynamic midfielder box to box type. The missing link. I have to confess that I didn't real know too much about him and I went by what I was told. I cannot complain about his goal rate but I remain generally unimpressed with his all round play. Too much safety first pass backwards or sideways when there is the opportunity to turn and progress with the ball at feet. I do not know if this is actually him as a player or he is told by Bruce to play like this.
Now, I know more about SJM and everything tells me he is dynamic, energetic, skillful and willing to progess the ball forward at pace.
So I wait with baited breath to see whether this style of his continues or my fears that Conor plays within himself and that is down to Bruce get confirmed.
