Redfearn says Leeds United loanee was anonymous.

Leeds United secured an important win over Blackburn Rovers this week, but it was far from an immaculate performance.
The Whites struggled to put away the team rooted to the bottom of the table, and needed a late header from on loan centre-back Kyle Bartley to give them a 2-1 win.
Another on loan star to feature was Pablo Hernandez, but the Spaniard did not have the best of games.

He played in his preferred central attacking midfield position, and created two chances, recording a 71 per cent passing accuracy.
Former Leeds boss Neil Redfearn was not impressed, telling Radio Yorkshire’s Yorkshire Football Show on Wednesday at 6pm:
“I thought he was poor. He was anonymous, and struggled to get on it. He showed glimpses of what he can do.
“That’s his position the number 10 role, may be he needs two or three games there and grow into it and feel comfortable, rather than chopping and changing, I think he is one person who has suffered from that. He’s wasted wide.”

Hernandez, signed on loan from Al Arabi, arrived with a big reputation but has been shunted about into different positions, playing on the wing and in central midfield.
He is though not the only player vying for the number 10 role behind the striker, with Alex Mowatt stating his case with a match winning assist from a set piece after coming on as a substitute.
Kemar Roofe is another who would like to take his spot, but after missing the Blackburn game with injury, he may have to settle for a place on the bench against Cardiff City this weekend.
