He's clearly in poor form, but I don't think he's a poor player. I think he's young and is going through a dip and any perceived lethargy can probably be attributed to a lack of confidence.
He really doesn’t deserve that run though. He is behind championship players in the pecking order. I agree with him being out of form but I also think he probably thought it’d be easy here.
Bruce plays half of the midfielders he has in positions that are not preferred by the player.
Josh, Barney, Conor,
Pochettino apparently rates him very highly and he is arguably a better manager than Steve Bruce.....
Just watched the Preston highlights I defer to anyone at the game. But he looked a lot more involved than hourihane again
