Glenn Whelan - Released

[aj2k77]

Not an off day. When the off days are more common than good days. Playing poor is the rule not the exception.

An off day as in all of them together were shite. Normally you get one or two stinking the place out. Yesterday they were all poor.

Like against Reading and Cardiff?

Yep, they were all shite then as well.

So the entire team have had off days in 50% of our league games so far?

I thought they were crap yesterday, crap against Reading and fucking crap against Cardiff. I'm not sure what else you want me to say?

[Rudy Can't Fail]

He's another one who probably should have been left out yesterday after playing for Ireland. He tried his best to break up the play and he succeeded at times but overall, an off day like the rest of them bar the keeper.

Agree with that. Knowing we have a game on Tuesday night, he really should have been rested. The other point is he is not being used correctly by Bruce who needs to focus on what Whelan does well, defensive midfielder that shields the defence and can distribute a ball either long or short. Expecting him to run around all day chasing shadows is a complete waste of his talent nevermind his energy.

My point is it isn't really an off day if they all play shit the majority of the time. We've had arguably 2 good halves of football out of 12.

[sirlordbaltimore]

I thought Whelan was very 50/50 yesterday. Actually did a lot of good things but also a lot of ponderous bad things

Chester was shocking as well mind, and don't start me on Elmo

[Matt Collins]

Chester has been really bad from what I've seen this season

I'd play Samba on Tuesday especially against gestede (if fit)

[in exile]

Good grief

Samba hasn't been fit since about 2009.

Just say it's your fault Clampy. That will do it.

FFS Clampy.

I’ve watched him the last two games and considering the physical battle he withstood on Sunday and tonight’s performance he deserves a lot of praise.  Very protective of the back four and not a hoofballer in possession.

[West Derby Villan]

He played well tonight

He's been top drawer the last week. Two different types of game but he's been excellent in both. He came out looking like Bruce Willis at the end of every Die Hard film at the weekend. Today wasn't as physically demanding but he marshalled everything well and nullified their threats. Very solid indeed.
He seems to have settled into the club now. Hopefully he keeps it up because he's a class apart at this level. Along with Terry, and some quality young players throughout the side, I think we'll be a good bet for pushing into the top 2. Xmas is key and how the legs of Terry, Whelan etc hold out.
