Fair enough. If Westwood was playing in a system like what Swansea play then I believe you would see why I think he is pure class. It's hard for him to play to his full potential in our team atm working under an old fashioned manager with crap tactics.Surely if he needs to play in another team to show he is pure class, that kind of hints at the idea that he is yet to show anything pure class in this team/or is even pure class. Asking the question, what on earth have you seen?
With the greatest respects, it's a bit weak to say he needs to be in a different team to show he's pure class. Maybe a different team would get the best out of him, but I believe we'd know if he was pure class, regardless of our system. I said he would shine if we played a system similar to what Swansea play not that he has to play for another team to show he is class. Do you think that it could be the case that he is restricted in showing how good he is by having to play so deep and his influence on a game could be restricted due to being asked to fulfill certain duties by Lambert?
You're right you did say that - my bad. Misread it.
Erm, to an extent yes, and there is an arguement for a number if players in terms of that. However, I just don't see a top class player in there and I believe I would.
Quite a bad example given the obvious gulf in class, but when messi plays for Argentina it's in a system that doesn't suit him (or was). You could still see his level of ability and he stood out from the rest.
I don't see any unique ability from Westwood, that I don't see in the other 9 or so players we've got out there.
I agree that a different approach might suit him a bit better, but I'd very much doubt a pure class player would jump out of nowhere.
Well I guess time will tell, not much else to debate on this. I rate him, you don't.
