Too slow, too prone to errors that we won't be able to afford at Wembley. He had quite a few amazing performances in the 10 game winning run, looked 6 years younger, got everywhere, was progressive when he got the ball and was key in getting it back. I'd go with Hourihane against Derby but "washed up never was clogger" is pretty wildly off the mark for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaJ100 Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 I know I've been pretty offensive there but just my strength of feeling about Whelan playing in this game. If he does he WILL make a serious F up which could cost us a goal or even the match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whelan doesn't offer any goal threat and we haven't got many goals in us without Tammy and he's nowhere near 100% fit, shoulder was giving him pain during the baggies game .

VillaJ100 Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 The guy ain't getting more reliable with age. He's a liability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is definitely an argument for Hourihane to start at Wembley but wouldn’t be fussed if Whelan got the nod. During our winning spell, Glenn was one of the better players. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaJ100 Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 You only have to go back to March on this thread to see how people were crying out for him to be dropped. I think the winning streak happened in spite of him being in the team rather than being a fundamental competent like Jack was. He was playing in front of a competent defence and in a strong midfield. You can always carry a player. I'm sure he's a model professional and nice guy and all that jazz but he's a weak link, he's incredibly slow in movement, slow to move the ball, and liable to make bizzare, almost unfathomably dangerous misplaced passes which lead to either a goal or a solid chance. I fear whenever he has to make a pass under any slight pressure. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaJ100 Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 It's currently the worst position on the pitch I feel. Nobody who can play there is as good as the rest of the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaJ100 Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 Just now, sne said: Think that honor goes to LB and Taylor It's pretty close but Taylor has played a lot better lately. Still not amazing though. How long has left back been a problem now? Seems we haven't had a decent one since Bouma. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zatman Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 Players like Whelan are always slated. Defensive midfield is such an unsexy position that even better players than Whelan have been criticized 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 Hourihane offers more when we have the ball, Whelan offers more when we don't. Depends on what type of game we are expecting and what our game plan is. Hourihane always has goals and assists in his locker thou. Pretty certain that both will play, one will come on for the other at some point in the game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newry_Villan Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 Starts for me. Fans seem divided between Conor and Glenn. Smith is going to get pelters either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
