VillaJ100 Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 I agree. Whelan means we'll be playing some shitty defensive game trying to nick a goal or two, not that we would on the break as he moves the ball too slowly. If CDM is the most important position it's bloody frightening that we have Whelan there. We need to go and take the game to Derby not see him get skinned and burnt for pace by Mount all game before laying it off to Marriott in the 72nd minute when it's 1-1.

By that logic start hourihane instead of Tammy... They have different roles when playing, whelan never gonna do what Connor does and vice versa, which ever one is picked will mean a different game plan. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommo_b Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 I think Hourihane will start tomorrow and whelan will come on go replace him if we are in the lead in the last 20 minutes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that is bizarre logic. Hourihane scoring 2 goals with Whelan behind him totally proves the point I was making Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WakefieldVillan Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 I can see an argument for either player starting but I think Smith will go with Whelan. I think we are just about a better balanced team when he plays rather than Conor. Tough, tough call though. I would however play Kodjia instead of Adomah/Green; I think if Whelan is playing we have that extra security for any of his defensive shortcomings but more going forward. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwivillan Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 We can play Whelan at DM and Hourihane behind Tammy. I'd rather AEG running at Cole and Grealish on the left and Green Adomah Kodjia on the bench Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farlz Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 I think Whelan starts for me tomorrow. Done enough to deserve it. That penalty picture a few pages back reminded just how grateful I am of him that he missed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too slow, too prone to errors that we won't be able to afford at Wembley. Glenn will start tomorrow and he'll upset mount and Wilson. Drain the life out of them. Hourihane to come on after and ping in a few winners 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCJonah Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 I think we are in a pretty good position when we can discuss who plays out of these 2. I don't think either decision would be a massive mistake. For me though i'd prefer to start with hourihane. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villan_of_oz Posted May 27, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted May 27, 2019 Theories that playing Glenn means we are defensive and not as likely to score are rubbish. He was playing that role when we were winning for fun. I don't mind who plays there tomorrow, I'll trust DS to make that important decision. If Glenn does his job well, which he usually does, it increases the confidence of everyone in front of him. Hourihane offers other qualities, but has proved to be a bit more gusty and prepared to work hard of late. I have never been his biggest fan but he has made me look foolish in recent times. Both are very good players for us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 As i said before it's about how we expect the game to be and how we will go about it. If we expect to have a lot of the possession then Hourihane should start, if it's the other way then Whelan. If we think Mount is a big enough threat that he warrants constant marking then maybe Whelan should play, if he can do the job. Not seen Mount play more than once so no idea if he's worth the sacrifice. Making it out like Whelan defensive, Hourihane attacking is way too simple.

TRO Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 Today, particularly we need to avoid giving the ball away cheaply, as that will surely bring them in to the game.....our passing & Ball control needs to be spot on. They are not known for pressing and ball winning, so our ability to keep the ball away from them will starve them.....we simply cannot afford to have a day of sloppy passing.

villalad21 Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 Almost costed us in the play offs but he played well for the majority of the season. You've been a good servant to the club but it's time to say goodbye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
