Jeff Hendrick M Sheffield Wednesday (loan from Newcastle) b.1992

**TheOneWhoKnocks** · 26/09/2016, 8:53 PM

Hendrick played an absolute blinder tonight - defensively and offensively.

Drove forward regularly without shirking his defensive responsibilities; got himself into good positions; I lost count of how many interceptions he made late in the second half. A real Jeff of all trades.

He was integral to Burnley's win tonight, representing everything good about their performance.

Could have had two after getting himself into a great goalscoring position, but for some selfishness from George Boyd - who is technically an awful player.

I think Boyd was trying to cross it but it ran away from him.

Anyway, surprised Hendrick didn't get man of the match but I suppose Defour set up two.

He was outstanding in the second half. Defour got the Sky motm after two brilliant assists but Hendrick can't have been far off.

There may have been a strategic nudge on the defender there but them the breaks I suppose.

Well done to Jeff...

Just to terrorise Watford supporters it ain't good when the other team are queuing up to head the ball in...........................

Disappointed I had to miss the match but that sounds like his performances in the Euros. Brilliant to see him transferring that over to the PL.

Lovely finish and Ward was the first man over to him. Fantastic.

**DeLorean** · 27/09/2016, 9:27 AM

Ward was the first man over to him at full time as well with a warm embrace. Jamie Carragher analysed the strategic nudge as well, indicating that it probably was a foul as both hands were on the back of Holebas. It was very subtle though, I don't even think it's a nudge as there little or no real forward momentum, he just stalled Holebas' backward movement. There were no real complaints from the player himself or their manager afterwards as far as I know. I think there would have been a bigger fuss made of it if the goal was disallowed.

Maybe a bit different to his Euros performances where he got on the ball in deeper areas a lot more. This was more workmanlike but he put in a serious shift and unlike some of his recent performances for us, he seemed to be going as strong in the final quarter of the game as he was previously, stronger in fact.

horrific miss against West Brom to equalise in the first half, Vokes knocked the ball down to him inside the six yard area, and he tried to chip the keeper into the far post but it went wide. Only defence he could have was that he had no time to think about what to do, just had to react.
Ward starts for West Brom, with McClean on the bench, despite his recent good form.

**DeLorean** · 21/11/2016, 8:08 PM

I'd say McClean is still broke up after his epidural!

I am not sure it was horrific, although the commentator said something similar. It was a tight angle and I'd say it would only have been a 50/50 chance of scoring from there.

I assume you meant Ward starts for Burnley. McLean came on as a sub.

I'm with OF on this. The defence that you pointed out is a pretty big defence I think. Maybe his first touch could have been slightly better but it was going to be difficult either way. As it turned out I think it would have been a really excellent finish had it just nestled in the corner. One of those misses that kind of looks bad but isn't really. Here-

**tetsujin1979** · 22/11/2016, 2:59 PM

had a look at Hendrick's miss again, it's not quite "horrific" but it's pretty bad. Regardless of the keeper, you'd expect him to get a shot on target from there.

**DeLorean** · 23/11/2016, 7:19 AM

Okay Ray Houghton ("He's gotta hit the target George").

Anyway, it's a good excuse to share an actual 'horrific miss', from the Serbian league at the weekend. I think it even tops Ronnie Rosanthal's all those years ago!

**DeLorean** · 10/12/2016, 2:14 PM

Absolute cracker of a volley (on the bounce) to give Burnley the lead against Bournemouth. He needed that I think.

Cracking strike! Has to be a goal of the month contender

**DeLorean** · 10/12/2016, 3:06 PM

Even better than I thought, didn't realise he hit it without it bouncing after controlling it with his knee, incredible goal really.

**Olé Olé** · 10/12/2016, 3:11 PM

What a goal. Love the way he tee'd himself up with that second touch on his knee. The defender comes across to close the angle but that mattered not as Hendrick just placed it in the nearer corner and the keeper wasn't near it. Delighted for him.

**tricky_colour** · 10/12/2016, 5:28 PM

Great control by Hendrick initially too.

Reminded me a little of one of Jamie Vardy's goals for Leicester, not the same build up but the finish to the top left.
