Just came across this now, interesting comments from Sean Dyche last month regarding Hendrick's number ten role - http://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk...y_s_number_10/
And in that vein, he's just featured in football365's regular feature on "ordinary" players - ordinary being relative, of course.Quote:

In short, they reckon he plays an unusual role for Burnley, a high energy role high up the pitch where he hoovers up loose balls and recycles them to more creative players.
That's a really well thought out piece.
It certainly is. Would it be more accurate to call him an enganche rather than the 'Irish trequartista'? A little less mobile laterally, less of a goal threat?
pretty much describes the goal against Wales!Quote:

Some very positive comments by Chris Kamara and Michail Antonio on Hendrick's contribution to both of Burnley's goals which were recorded as own goals by Fulham defenders.
Kamara and Antonio reckon the first goal should be credited to Hendrick as his shot had a bit of swerve on it and was on it's way in before Bryan shinned it in.
The second goal was a counter-attack by Burnley and Hendrick received credit for this thanks to a strong run through the middle from deep which carved open the Fulham midfield and defence. Hendrick ends up with the ball in a similar position as he did away to Germany when he assisted O'Shea just outside the left post and he turns onto his right and floats one in which is turned in by Odoi for Fulham and there was no dispute as to how this would be credited.
Big contribution from Jeff and hopefully it kickstarts and sputtering and stuttering season so far.
He's a frustrating player. Has all the attributes but is very hit and miss. Goes missing in games it seems. I was at the Ireland v Belgium game in the Euros and he totally frustrated me that day after playing brilliantly against Sweden. Then he played a great game against Italy. Would love to see some solid consistency in his game.
He gets moved around a lot as well, positionally, which doesn't help. I actually thought he was one of our better players (not saying a lot) in that Belgium game, but he's been lacklustre for us post-Euros.
Consistency great or consistency going missing ;) ?Quote:

Yeah, that seems to be the case. Looks like the goal is only changed if a club appeals it. I doubt Kasper Schmeichel wants the goal awarded as an OG!
Ah, that makes sense.

The WWF have taken Hendrick goal's off the threatened species list.

View from behind goal is best and side at 20 seconds..
Mick described Jeff as been "brilliant for him so far" is it just me or has he not been **** for 3 years?
Could be a manager just trying to talk a potentially key player up to boost his confidence ahead of a new club season. If Mick legitimately thinks Hendrick has been good, well -- that is concerning!Quote:

Scored a last gasp equaliser yesterday.

The video insert seems to ignore the time stamp, so if you just want Hendrick's goal, see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KzanUTtFiNw&t=0m26s

2:32 for goal.
Note he is involved in the build up.
