A couple of seasons ago Whelan was immense at the Sty, shed blood for the cause as well. Hard call for the manager, but he has given himself options.
Whelan has been one of our better players this season, unpopular of course but so be it. He was a very to play. Don't think Hourihane could have been dropped after last week. Scored against these last season too.
Not happy with that change at the back. Elmo is only member of back four playing in same position as last week. Granted Jedinak coming in would have been a risk too. They have picked a very attacking line up too. I'm expecting lots of goals
