Is Brownhill better than Hendrick?
I see a lot of posters berating brownhill. He’s not perfect by any stretch but I like his energy and ability to win the ball back. Has done some good attacking work recently as well. He’s a good runner and links up well if he has options. Especially at his age I’d much rather browny than Jeff.

Re: Is Brownhill better than Hendrick?
It’s a difficult one as they are relatively similar. They both depend on there physical attributes rather than there technical ability.
Right now I would say Hendrick has proven he is capable of a lot more than Brownhill in the premier league. So Hendrick would be my preference.
If I’m honest I’m not sure who I would rather start out of Stephens and Brownhill.

Re: Is Brownhill better than Hendrick?
Jury still out for me. I don’t think he’s as good on the ball currently. There’s no doubting his work ethic and off the ball work but that not really enough. Think Hendrick just lacked the confidence sometimes and often when near goal. I can’t see any goal threat/creativity from Brownhill even though that’s not his main job. I can see why Dyche played him at the weekend though with what was otherwise quite an attacking line up.
Re: Is Brownhill better than Hendrick?
Different. Brownhill has a better engine, Hendrick more class.

Re: Is Brownhill better than Hendrick?
Very similar players imo as said and actually worth a lot to us even though not to most other PL teams because of the way we play. Both need to play to the very limit of their ability every second they are on the field to cut it at PL level and use their physicality, work rate and the team around them to the max or they become exposed. Hendrick probably edges it for me just now because he did score goals and some were absolutely vital and Brownhill hasn't and doesn't really look like he will.

Re: Is Brownhill better than Hendrick?
Brownhill would be great in a 3 as he his very good at retrieving the ball and the other 2 could do the passing.
In a 2 neither are good enough as all round CMs.

Re: Is Brownhill better than Hendrick?
Jeff only scored 9 goals in his time here though.
He also played a large amount of time further forwards than Brownhill.
They're different players to me, both with good engines, but tasked with doing different things.

Re: Is Brownhill better than Hendrick?
One difference is that Jeff used to chip in with 2/3 goals per season. He scored some crackers as well e.g. at home to Bournemouth and away to Chelsea.

It’s frankly a thankless task being a CM at Burnley.
Always outnumbered by the opposition during a game.
And slated by people, who after 8 years of seeing us play 4-4-2, still haven’t fathomed how we play, and what to expect from our CM’s.
Leave Brownhill be.

Re: Is Brownhill better than Hendrick?
Hendrick is the better footballer and was our best scoring CM likely to get you key points on the board. Think Josh is possibly a better team player and more suited to the way we play and the current situation we find ourselves in

Re: Is Brownhill better than Hendrick?
Brownhill.
He has a future, and can develop further.
But the most important factor for me is this… Brownhill plays for us, Jeff doesn’t.
I sincerely hope Josh doesn’t become the whipping boy, He’s a good player, but like almost ALL our players, parts of his game are limited. If he wasn’t, he wouldn’t be playing for us.
I’m glad SD puts us together like he does, he sees the sum of the parts as opposed to how good an individual is in isolation. Most of us don’t see that…. I suppose that’s why he gets £millions.

Nowhere near Hendrick's level at the momment despite the boo boys. You don't know what you got till its gone!
When he scores a goal like Hendrick did against Bournemouth he will have reached that level.
Doesn't look up to the task in centre mid presently for me.

Re: Is Brownhill better than Hendrick?
Too early to judge.
JH played 139 games for us and was used in a variety of positions. In a high number of games he was used in an advanced role behind a target striker and he scored 10 goals in 4 seasons ( ie. 2.5 goals / season ).
JB has played approx 150 games for us and is used largely as a spoiler in midfield to break up play. He has scored 1 goal in 1.5 seasons.
In my opinion there is a lot more to come from Brownhill who is keeping Jack Cork out of his preferred position, which is something JH couldn’t do. Let’s see how good Brownhill is after another season or two for an accurate comparison.
Unfortunately both players have been targeted by the boo boys and cyber warriors. This certainly affected Jeff Hendrick’s confidence and prompted his refusal to sign a contract extension. Let’s hope that this doesn’t happen to Josh.

You can't see any goal threat because SD does not allow him to play the attacking game he wants to play. Simple as that really.Boss Hogg wrote: ↑Mon Sep 27, 2021 10:38 amJury still out for me.

Re: Is Brownhill better than Hendrick?
Interesting replies. I think brownhill is a better centre midfielder than Jeff because he wins the ball back so much and can do the simple stuff well. Also at his age he can improve a lot. We have also seen that brownhills qualities are seen by other premier league clubs as there has been interest in the summer. That never happened with JH. Kante isn’t the best on the ball, but has had a brilliant career at the very top level from doing what JB does.

However there is no doubt that Jeff Hendrick was targeted by some sections of our “fans” and it was a big reason why he obviously wanted to leave. If you read this board regularly you will see some abusive and unfair criticism of Brownhill by some posters, which I hope doesn’t start to happen on match days.

Brownhill needs to sharpen his passing, sometimes even simple passes are poor which at this level can kill you. I agree with GodIsADeeJay, they are two different types of players. Neither of them are John Deary !

Dean Marney was a scapegoat himself until injury robbed us of him, then many finally realised what he actually did in the team. I suspect Brownhill will be much the same.

Re: Is Brownhill better than Hendrick?
Hmmm, not sure about this. Hendrick maybe showed more technical ability at times and chipped in with a few goals but Brownhill is showing he's a stronger ball winner and intercepter. They have been deployed in different roles so it's difficult to say which one is better.Superjohnnyfrancis wrote: ↑Mon Sep 27, 2021 11:49 amNowhere near Hendrick's level at the momment despite the boo boys.

That being said I think Brownhill fits "the system" better than Hendrick did, likely why we never really saw Jeff in a CM role, mainly deployed as an AMC or pushed right). Jeff did ok for us and I wouldn't have been adverse to him signing a new deal however the fact he was played out of position frequently with us suggests to me we have a more suited player to the role now. It's quite hard to imagine a two man midfield of Westwood/Hendrick or Hendrick/Cork being better than what we have now.

Not much between them, I'd say Hendrick due to greater versatility.
