Back in the starting line up today for Burnley away to Leicester. Looks like he's playing right midfield, with Hendrick in the middle.
Brady would be an improvement on the left or even in the 8 position if he got some fitness and form.

Played left midfield. Didn’t get up to much. Hasn’t played a lot of football over last couple of seasons and from what I saw today he did nothing to force Mick’s hand about a recall. Hopefully he can get more game time in the coming weeks and make a compelling case to be brought in for the Denmark game.
Replaced Hendrick after 84 minutes yesterday and got credited with assists for both of Burnley's consolation goals: https://www.premierleague.com/match/46697 - let's hope he gets some more time over the next couple of weeks
He didn't do much in each of those assists in truth!
It's a little harsh maybe. He showed nice control and calmness with tody little balls for the assists. What he has is a composure in the middle of the pitch that most of our players dont have. Should definitely be on bench as an attacking optionQuote:

Brady's were more of the latter variety on Saturday.
In as much as he happened to have the ball just before they scored kind of assist.Quote:

One thing I will say is that given set pieces are so important to us, we really need to have one of Brady or Hourihane on the pitch at all times. Wasn't keen on Mick leaving Hourihane out of the starting lineup for the Swiss match. Having Whelan take corners for example made them a hell of a lot less dangerous.
He has enough quality to come good again if he can get fitness and a run of games. Still 27.
Starts today alongside Hendrick for Burnley, good to see
Looked good from MOTD highlightsQuote:

Apparently Newcastle were in for Brady and Hendrick but both could end up staying where they are:
Burnley set to keep Brady but Hendrick's future remains unclear https://the42.ie/5067558
Burnley are apparently in some financial difficulties so they may need to offload a few players.
He's on the bench today for Burnley, while average left back- Erik Pieters- fills in left midfield against Sheffield United.
On the Burnley side, there's a rare start for Kevin Long. McGoldrick, Egan and Stevens start for Sheffield United.
Dunne on the bench for Burnley again, will he ever make his premier league debut?
I think he is the only defender on the bench so he has a great shout of doing so today.
Injured before half-time in Burnley's opener today. Looks like it might be a rib injury. The poor guy has no luck with injuries, hopefully he's not out for more than a month.
My first reaction? Jack Byrne time.
Bruised ribs, according to Dyche. Sore, but not has serious as it might be.

Starts tonight at Brighton. Ben Mee is back so Long drops to the bench. I expect Burnley's form to improve with Mee/Tarkowski back in the team but they will continue to struggle for goals.
Went closeish with a bicycle kick it seems.
Came on today in the second half against Crystal Palace and the poor guy didn't last twenty minutes before he came off injured. Looks like a hamstring.
Sean Dyche: “I will have to wait and see but I will find out more tomorrow,” added the Clarets boss. “It looks like he’s done his hamstring.”
I don’t think playing in the cold is good for the hamstrings which is a bit of a problem in this part of the world.Quote:

But Kenny started Brady twice on the international break, involving him in all three matches. To put that in context, Brady has only two league starts for Burnley in all of 2020, according to what the commentators were saying when he was down injured. That was asking a lot of a guy who has a well known problem with injuries.
At the end of the day, we don't play again until March so whatever I guess. But I don't think Brady is capable of starting two matches within three days and I don't think it was necessary with the likes of Byrne around and worth taking a closer look at.
I believe he's be a free agent at the end of this season, would love to see him stay in the Premier League. I don't know what Burnley were thinking letting Hendrick walk on a free.
They may have been watching Hendrick play for Ireland.Quote:

It would be nice but what are the chances of that happening ?Quote:

I’m probably just spouting wishful thinking but oh well.
He joined Burnley half way through the 16/17 season and has not played over 20 games for them yet in a season across all competitions.
He was only 24 or 25 when he joined them.
That must be incredibly frustrating for all involved.
Honestly at this point I feel Burnley just bring him off the bench in the hope he can recapture that form of old. But it’s just not there. You can see in moments that he’s got great vision and technique, but maybe he’s just not athletic enough for the modern game.
Or the Burney game. I remember Steven Defour doing well there for a while and he'd be in a similar boat to Brady but he faded away too. To be fair, it may be less athleticism and more that he's always carrying some injury and as soon as he gets a run of minutes he breaks down with something else.Quote:

Lovely player when he raises his performances, wouldnt say a world class performance very lively and involved, 8/10.
Dunphy also claimed that about Robbie Brady. On youtube I used to catch your football show with Giles, Liam and Eammon Dunphy with O'Herlihy as anchorman.
World class football chat show so funny and entertaining.....lovely show .....very similar to the shows we have here with a discuss footie show and the spanish version "El Xiringuito de Jugones" on Antena 3 when I lived in Catalunya province, near Saint Vinçent de Calders beach city.
Which can be gorgeous this time of year!Quote:

Looks like McNeil is now taking most of the corners, although Brady took one late on which nearly resulted in a goal.
Solid enough performance in a Burnley win over Arsenal. Played a few nice balls including a brilliant cross in the first half which Wood should have headed in. Good to see him get another 90 minutes in.
Once again not involved in set pieces (not to Burnley’s detriment, they scored from a well taken corner).
In hugely surprising news, Brady has gone off injured in Burnleys game against Wolves, with Burnley 2-0 ahead.
