Whelan warning for Stoke

03 May 2011 16:00
Stoke midfielder Glenn Whelan has warned his team-mates they must forget their five-star performance in the FA Cup semi-finals because it will mean nothing unless they match it in the final against Manchester City. The Potters thrashed Bolton 5-0 at Wembley two weeks ago in one of the most one-sided last-four clashes in the competition's history. It was a stunning result considering the teams were expected to be evenly matched, and Whelan hopes it will go some way to shaking off Stoke's image as a team that rely solely on set-pieces. The 27-year-old said: "Winning 5-0 we've maybe changed a few people's minds but we know you're only as good as your last game so we'll put that to the back of our minds. "It was a great day and a great occasion but we haven't done anything yet. It's only a semi-final, we want to win the final."
