He play in that more advanced role partly because he's better able to get up and down the park, not the other way round.
Surely not this rubbish again, I like Hendrick he has many strengths but quick?
Vincent Kompany beat him in a foot race when Hendrick had about an 8 yard advantage.

If he was anywhere near as quick as spice suggested he'd have comfortably got on the end of JBG's excellent ball in the second half in what would have been an easy chance.

Like I said previously, Dyche regularly picks him, because we simply don’t have another option. When he was fit, Dyche deamed Defour incapable of playing in a 4-4-2, hence why he played Hendrick ahead of him and Cork. Having said that, didn’t stop Jeff from being subsituted for a striker virtually every week after putting in a virtually nonexistent performance.
