mannings bandy legs 385 Posted August 11, 2022 So Dean Smith has stated that he wants Hernandez to improve his end product. He's 29.Does anybody,let alone Smith,really believe that there is a cats in hell chance of that happening?....I've heard of late developers but sometimes you have to resign yourself to the fact this aint gonna happen.

Pyro Pete 1,889 Posted August 11, 2022 "Smith calls on [insert name of every single Norwich City midfielder here] to improve end product." Fixed it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chicken 2,604 Posted August 11, 2022 Tettey didn't look to be much of a passer until Farke arrived. I can recall him firing a ball at waist height at someone less than ten yards away and only looking to pass 5yards before that. He also buckled under a bit of pressure when there wasn't an easy ball to play. Considering Tettey would have been about the same age, yeah, sure there is time. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think it applies in spades to any of thel forward players especially Rashica. Its up to the wide men to make more of the spakce they have had in both league games.

Inch High aka Inchy.. 405 Posted August 11, 2022 I think Dean Smith is the one that needs to improve, his record here is horrendous! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Capt. Pants 4,195 Posted August 11, 2022 Wut are they durn in traynun Dean? It's possible to train it into him, but it's a two-way thing and sessions will have to be set up specifically for Onel to improve his crossing or whatever. I'm not sure just saying Onel has to improve his end product serves much purpose. City fans and some commentators have been saying that for the last 4 years.

People remember the Tettey of his last few seasons but ye wasn't always that good.Tettey was amazing when he played under Farke and improved dramatically under his coaching. He was always a brilliant destroyer but his passing was shocking, somehow Farke coached him how to play and became one of out few genuine PL class players, it's such a shame he struggled so much with injuries. We could really do with a proper replacement, all round midfielders are nice, but a pure defensive, ball winning midfielder is extremely useful at times. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chelm Canary 404 Posted August 11, 2022 Some plays hit the peak of their careers at 29+. I absolutely think Hernandez can improve his end product if he listens and puts the work. Its very possible the best of Hernandez is still to come. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AJ 1,218 Posted August 11, 2022 Hernandez in our first promotion season was immense. He only needs to get back to similar levels of form and he'd easily be the best winger we've got Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If we can get that Onel back he'll be a weapon and a half. He even had his moments in the Premier League season too. But he struggled back in the Championship for whatever reason and has never got back to his first, and to some degree, second season. Hopefully this is a concerted effort, mind games or whatever, to get the 2018-2020 Hernandez back. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Branston Pickle 3,635 Posted August 11, 2022 If Smith thinks giving him a prod will get the best of him, then why not give it a go.  It’s interesting that there’s been a huge turnaround with Todd, but no one seems to be giving any credit to Smith/the club for it - I guess because they’ve already decided he’s crap. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mello Yello 2,280 Posted August 11, 2022 Apparently Deano also told Onel to upgrade his Canary tattoo with the new design....Deano also said that Onel can use one of the new Stadium lights to laser off his old Canary badge tattoo.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
