Some Aston Villa fans have expressed their desire for Conor Hourihane to be given a chance to start in Villa’s upcoming matches.

These calls came after Villa fan Twitter account @AVFCPride shared a post on their page with their wishes to see the midfielder given a chance to play in replacement of the injured Jack Grealish.

This tweet then gathered several responses from fellow Villa supporters who agreed with the page’s opinion.

Here’s a sample of Villa fans wanting to see Hourihane get a chance in the team:

The Irishman, who is currently valued at £5.85 million, according to Transfermarkt, has been in and out of the Villa team since the beginning of the season, having played in seven of Villa’s 12 Premier League games (per Transfermarkt).

What do we think?

Hourihane’s sporadic and rotational appearances have seen the central midfielder fail to go on a continuous run of consecutive games for Villa this season. The longest run of consecutive games Hourihane has played in this season in the Premier League is four from September to October (per Transfermarkt).

Maybe because of the poor performances from Marvelous Nakamba, John McGinn and Douglas Luiz at Wolves, this can allow Hourihane an opportunity to play again for Villa.
