QuoteAnyone know why Bojan took the penalty and not Walters?
I also thought Vardy deserved the red even though the commentators said he was very unlucky. He went in with both feet, studs up. By the letter of the law he deserved red even though he got the ball well before the man. It was interesting though because I was thinking it wouldn't have been a red 10-15 years ago.

He hasn't been their main penalty taker for over a year after missing a couple.
I think Charlie Adam is their main penalty taker.
It's pathetic the way you seek out negative comments on club's forums and twitter at times when you know supporters are going to be frustrated and leaving off a bit of steam. I'm not much of a Whelan fan but the majority on that short thread you linked are overwhelmingly supportive of him, and plenty of support for Walters also.Originally Posted by TheOneWhoKnocks
"I dread to think what would have happened second half without Whelan. He was our midfield."
"Both were outstanding today, especially when you consider some of the money Hughes has wasted on players who aren't fit to lace their boots."
"Walters and Whelan have been fantastic servants to our club and don't deserve the vitriol they get on here."
"Nothing wrong in Whelan for me."
"It was only a month ago we were bemoaning Whelan's absence. We've spent oodles of money on players trying to replace him but we don't have anyone who can do the holding role as well as he can."
"To put any blame on this pair today is laughable."
"Thought whelan was one of the best players on the pitch tbh"
"Did the job that was asked of him. Sprayed a few nice balls about."
"Walters clear Man of the Match today"
"Thank Christ they're still here because the 'upgrades' are woeful."
"A poor performance and we have a Whelan and Walters thread again. How predicable for the agenda merchants."
"Whelan was head and shoulders better than anonymous Imbula today. Walters ran his nuts off, isolated again, and only had 2 good balls played into him, both of which he hit on target. If both players give their best, which they generally do, then they cant be knocked if they start every game."
"Whelan was good."
"Whelan won 3 tackles in a row second half which some of our so called stars would have backed out of."
"The greater worry should be that these two still put more effort into games than most of the others , Whelan was really good today , agree Walters is past his best but still puts a shift in unlike that idle **** sitting on the bench for his £120k a week."
"Yeah let's blame these 2 players get a life. Thought whelan played well and Johnny never die attitude.If we had won this thread wouldn't have been made."
"I thought Whelan was decent today. He made a couple of stupid errors but overall he had a decent game."
"Thought whelan had an ok game and walters was is usual hard working self.what do people want we bring in Bony everybody happy then he struggles we are so so in need of a 15-20 goalscorer but which team isn't. So to blame walters is ridiculous what about blaming Hughes both great servants yes we all want improvements in the team and better players just remember where we were 10 years ago."
"Whelan was the best of the midfield second half , make what you will of the rest of them. Walters worked his ******** off had two decent efforts from the few bits of decent crosses he received that both brought very good saves , just don't know how you can say they were both so bad."
Wow. It took you two days to compile every comment relating to Walters and Whelan that wasn't negative just to have another pop at me.
Well done.
Took about five minutes.
Big Jon the latest player to benefit from Liverpool's goalkeeping crisis as Mignolet flaps his near post header into the net. Whelan also started. Stoke lead 1-0.

Nice near post header to make it 1-0 it is 1-1 now though.
he didn't mean any of them
DID YOU NOTICE A SIGN OUTSIDE MY HOUSE...?
Sometimes I wonder how such an ineffectual striker can get a game, let alone any minutes in a premiership team. But I have a soft spot because he's scored some crucial goals for Ireland. Honestly, if he wants playing for a premiership team, I don't think I'd give a **** about him.
Anyway, enough about Shane Long. Long line Super Jonny Walters.
I think Coleman is our joint top striker on 3 along side Walters, Long is yet to break his duck I believe.
There is a good case for sticking Coleman up front!!!
Walters at left back?? Or Long?
Did he play the full game? Finished 4-1.
Lets talk about six baby
That's as insane an idea as, say, Irish teams of the past using hard-working winger Kevin Kilbane at left-back......for years....in every game........hang on...
Well, at least that was a tactic that is in the past as we no longer use talented left-wingers as makeshift full-backs, particularly not talented left-wingers...with an...eye...for...goal...dammit!
Knee surgery to rule Jonathan Walters out for an extended spell

Any chance of beating Wales gone out the window....
I'm assuming you are joking but we played some of our best football against Bosnia, Italy and France without him in the side.
I'd say he'll be back but Murphy and Long up front or a natural wide player starting is hardly a disaster.
I thought he scored twice against Bosnia?
