He's played more often than not as a dm with even whelan and barny playing further forward than him. He's not a dm and playing their nullifies his strengths. But lets not allow detail to get in the way of scapegoating, an all too easy thing to do. I've every confidence that when Hourihane is moved out of the team some posters on here will find a new scapegoat because after all that's what they do best.

ANY footballer should be able to run, mark his man, stick a foot in, etc. He's been on a free ride all season. We can forgive quality, but lack of effort - Not a chance. He's garbage.Hope he makes me eat my words today, but I'd wager this isn't going to happen.
For shit like Barnsley, he's fucking ace. For Villa, he's bang average. This is what worries me about the links to the Brentford players, they are decent but not for a bigger club with bigger aspirations. We have managed to fill our squad with bang average players with few exceptions.
What the fuck was he doing for their second.

His limitations though are glaring. Inability to physically compete, one paced, one sided and that's for starters

Nobody ever said he wasn't physically capable.
