"Whiteman could though, he has lost a bit of mobility but is decent in the air and can tackle and still play a decent pass."


I respectfully disagree. Whiteman can't tackle without conceding a yellow (OK neither could Greegan I grant you) but he'd be a penalty risk in CD as like Hughes he's too clumsy.

Whiteman also struggles to track runners, and while he’s good at interceptions, his passing is limited. It’s mostly safe balls, rarely anything progressive, which can be frustrating to watch. What annoys me the most, though, is how little effort he puts into making himself available for a pass.

Look at Thor, McCann, Greenwood or Mads—they graft constantly to find space and offer an option for teammates. Whiteman, on the other hand, just lurks behind an opponent, waving it off as being “marked,” without doing much to shake them off. It’s that lack of movement and work rate that really grates

His yellow cards seem to mostly be becasue he’s caught flat footed. He’d be an absolute disaster in the penalty box if anyone ran at him. An ok game at Stoke doesn’t change the fact he’s been consistently poor for some time either.
 
Faultless even in the crap first half. Shows the sponsors don’t watch the game because he ran the show today. I’d love to see his heat map
 
Clear MoM for me today - fantastic performance. 👏

Always looking to pass forward, constantly moving and vocal too (loved the bit where he got their lad booked for kicking the ball away by chirping at the ref so much). 😅

It wasn’t Whiteman’s worst game, but the whole team moved the ball quicker without him in the second half.

Thor for Captain, anyone? 🤔
