George Honeyman made the move from Sunderland to join Hull over the summer and has made a relatively quiet start to his career with the Tigers.

Hull fans were expectant of great things from former Sunderland captain Honeyman. The 25-year-old featured heavily for the Black Cats after breaking through the academy as a teenager. He made 83 appearances in three seasons for the Black Cats and scored six goals and made two assists last season.

Honeyman has worked well in a three man midfield for Hull recently, but he has still only made six appearances for the club and is yet to complete a full 90 minutes, despite making six starting appearance for the club.

In order to truly fulfil his potential at Hull, there are a number of areas where the midfield needs to improve this season...

Passing Accuracy

Honeyman was replaced on 58 minutes in Saturday's loss against Huddersfield by Grant McCann and one of the reasons for this may have been due to his poor passing accuracy.

Throughout the game, Honeyman only completed 67% of his passes and is amplified by the fact that his midfielder partners Daniel Batty and Kevin Stewart made 85% and 88% of their respective passes throughout the match.

Shots and attacking threat

Honeyman is well known for his work rate and tackling ability in midfield. But, whilst at Sunderland, he also provided an attacking threat from midfield, but this is something that has been lacking whilst at Hull.

He has once been deployed as a central attacking midfielder by McCann, but otherwise has played in a deeper role, breaking up the play and conducting short passes for team mates.

However, to get the best out of Honeyman, it may benefit him to get forward more often. So far this season he averages 0.2 shots per game, compared to his 1.1 per game last season for Sunderland, where he scored more goals.

Key Passes and assists

Honeyman's attacking creativity and build play has also dipped this year and he is yet to create an assist for his teammates whilst at Hull.

He has made an average of one key pass a game so it may only be a matter of time before he begins to contribute with more assists to the team.

However, if he continues to be played in a more defensive, deeper role, then it may be some time before we see the attributes he displayed during his time at Sunderland.
