rodders0223 Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 Superb effort from Glenn the wheelmeister Whelan. Great character, beautiful human being. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farlz Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 Fantastic once again today. The difference in him from say this time last year is ridiculous I think, just so much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRO Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 Had a really good game today...His composure is priceless at times, that calm head, recycling the attacks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post ciggiesnbeer Posted April 13, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted April 13, 2019 Glenn Whelan may well be wondering how his career would have gone if he had been coached and played in a system like this a few years earlier. Republic of Ireland fans might be wondering the same. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've pointed this out in the past. Many people just decided he was rubbish when he signed 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lapal_fan Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 A couple of times yesterday there was a chance of a break, one key one where he was jumping into a 50/50 header, the Bristol player didn't get off the ground and Whelan went over the top of him and slammed into the ground and got winded. Had he not done that, they'd have been straight through onto our defence, he absolutely took that bump for the benefit of the team. So brave. Couple of nice passes out wide when things were tight in the middle, he was passed about twice in the whole game and that was due to McGinn trying to get up to Tammy to help him out. Did exactly what was needed of him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidcow Posted April 14, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted April 14, 2019 His turnaround in the fans eyes is Huttonesque. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 I haven't seen top quality whipped balls to the opposite flank since the days of Beckham and Roberto Carlos. Neither of those will be spoken of with the same esteem as Glenn though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has worked with Trappatoni, MON, Bruce, Pulis and Hughes in the last decade and while he has had a good career he has probably shown more in the last 6 months as an actual footballer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Zen Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 I commented yesterday that Taylor has improved immensly over the last few weeks, but I’d say Whelo’s improvement is even greater. I always thought of him as competent enough, I suppose, but his form lately has been positevly Pirlo-esque. The coaching going on at BMH is borderline sorcery. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still see some things where I think we invite the opposition to take the initiative, like their goal, which I thought was a bit benevolent...but thats me being pedantic and also its hard to keep up the energy levels of being on the front foot for 90 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although the Deacy example is a bit of a stretch, as he didn't get that many games. But Staunton, Houghton, McGrath... giants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In actual fact....Ray Houghton was born in Scotland and Paul McGrath was born in London. Edited April 14, 2019 by TRO 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
