Well, he's certainly not a winger! I think Whittingham is the perfect 12th man! If football was 12 a side he could boss the play. However, wherever you put him on the pitch he has massive weaknesses for that area. He does create one or two chances each game though. Unfortunately, last night he didn't seem to be as effective as he can be. I'd only start him ahead of Olofinjana right now because Oli is in such a bad patch. I'm also starting to think maybe Oli can't play in a 4-4-2 because thinking about it, he was only useful when we played 4-3-3.

When we play 4-4-2 with oli and whitts oli is doing the work and closing down of 2 men, whitts goes missing, scared to tackle not enough work rate so oli gets over run.....rambo last night put a shift in and got stuck in. I think oli and rambo would make a good partnership. Whitts is a luxury player that we cant afford to carry. If he was like taarabt it would be different but hes not....dj needs todrop him

whittingham got bullied off the ball way to much , think he should be dropped for sunday , midfield should be burke , ramsey, olo, bellamy,
