Careful Noel, he looked good on Match of the Day against Bournemouth.
-
Awful half, from both teams really.
-
You have a forward who scores throughout the pre-season - ignores him. You have a forward who comes on and scores in the last game, looking like our only threat - leaves him on the bench. You persevere with a line-up that was ineffectual against a Championship team. What the ****, Tim. Seriously.
-
Have we had a shot on goal yet?
-
Because he's an awesome CB! Oh, wait.
-
Well I'm glad he has as we've been good. How exactly have we been good? How many chances have we created? How many times have we done something threatening? This attacking line is far too similar, it just doesn't work.
-
Sherwood must have missed the first half against Bournemouth, god knows why he's decided to go with the same ineffectual line-up.
-
Oh look at DLP Westwood there, closing down Man Utd players 25 yards from their goal. Sub-optimal, I must say.
-
Don't care about the buy-back clause. Welcome Adama! Exciting signing.
-
The club has done excellently this window - credit due to all the people involved.
-
Is he Bacuna in disguise?
-
He might be in Football Manager terms but not in real life - he operates all over the midfield, all you need to do is look at some of his passing maps - such as here: http://Premier League.squawka.com/bournemouth-vs-aston-villa/08-08-2015/english-barclays-premier-league/matches

Westwood doesn't just sit in front of the back 4 and rarely venture out of our half though - nor does Schneiderlin simply sit back the whole time either. They'll cross paths a lot more than that and in a 50-50 situation, you're going to favour Schneiderlin every time. Even if Westwood just turns around and plays it back, Schneiderlin has done his job because he's forced Ash's hand.
-
Looks that way, which is certainly a shame.
-
Richards at RB, Clark and Fonte at CB. Two Birds. One Stone. That would work.
-
He also needs to toughen up a bit too - Petrov and Barry were more solid than him and were much harder to dispossess. Maybe Gana can give him a few pointers to help that part of his game.
-
Given the way we've been doing business, I very much doubt we'd spring for 8mil for a 31 year old (within reason).
-
Depends how much, really. At 31 he's got a couple of decent seasons in his pomp left, I'd imagine - so 5mil or so wouldn't be outrageous.
-
serious? If one guy plays deep playmaker. And the other plays defensive midfielder. They dont usually mark/come into contact with each other that much. Nowhere enough to class it as bully. It will be depay/rooney who will be closing down westwood (usually) I wouldn't be surprised to see LVG send him further forward to play a more physical game against Westwood.
-
I think Sanchez is a must against Man Utd. Schneiderlin would bully Westwood.
-
Tonev and N'Zogbia don't deserve second chances. They deserve to be cast into the fiery pits of Small Heath.
-
RE: the DM, depends entirely on who we're playing.
-
I don't think he handles contracts.

He's not one of our best players yet, calm down. -
None of the front three who started shone. I think they were just all too similar really, gave us only one dimension and they didn't really know what to do with themselves. Not going to judge him for a while.
