They literally walked past him twice. Man can't run. Pedestrian tonight. Never in the game, how he stayed on for the entire game is another mysterious tactical call by Bruce.

villaglint Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Really concerning performance. Looked like he was struggling to run from one side of the pitch to the other and that was after 2 mins. In the first half I counted one touch (obligatory hoof upfield) and zero tackles. He's supposed to be in there as a destroyer right? Didn't lay a glove on them. It was as though we played one in central midfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr_Pangloss Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 (edited) Another signing without a plan for, just like Hogan. Whelan is a good player but not surprising he looks like shit in Bruce's 'system'. Edited August 16, 2017 by Dr_Pangloss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poitier Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 I think he is struggling because our midfield is too tightly packed, there's often not a productive pass on for him. He would benefit from a more positive game plan as a whole, but he needs to cut out the sort of errors he made against Hull if he is to be trusted in a deep lying position.

Harry Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Good to see we have already found a new hate figure amongst the players and it's only taken three games. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hardly a hate figure - but he's not going to get any praise on the back of any of his appearances thus far. He's been awful. You disagree? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole side has been abject with just a few glimpses of what we should be capable of so I don't think it's particularly constructive to single out a single player Whelan is a decent player who has not played well, so far, who already seems to have been written off by some fans and let's not kid ourselves we have previous in that department.

The only way you could possibly think he's been singled out was if this was the only thread you read. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
