Should we want him back now, absolutely not, our ambition is far higher than midtable. It was the same with Petrov before him. We love to hate on our #6 then moan like crazy when he's gone. Westwood too good? He was the worst of the worst. Worst player I've ever seen play for Villa. Terrible and gutless on and off the ball. Closed his eyes when he went up for a header. Agree we need a top quality 6 - Maybe Luiz could be come that man - he was outstanding post lockdown. But was pretty poor last season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were worse players in that relegation team for starters, forget about all the other players we had in the last 20 years. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davkaus Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 There's a reason Westwood left us to play in the PL. He's a decent enough player, just not what we needed in that position. In a team full of nasty bastards like Burnley, he can get away with being a bit soft. As Keyblade says, he played with the likes of Gestede, Bacuna, Bennett...He wasn't great for us, but he wasn't the worst player in any given squad, by far. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I disagree out of all that dross, he was - in my opinion - by far above the worst and I've seen Richard Walker, Jordan Bowery, Simon Dawkins and Michael Boulding.

There's no way he could be worse than Bowery or Dawkins, the latter of whom has been without a club for 2 years now while Westwood is going into his 10th consecutive PL season. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you're comparing an established prem league player with 4 players with a total of 35 appearances, and saying the established player is worse. Ok. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dont_do_it_doug. Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 Westwood is evidently nowhere near good enough for where we want to be. Luiz might be, if the coaching staff are able to unlock it. So I'm not sure the comparison is relevant? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nakamba had one bad game=Nakamba bad Luiz good Classic Villa Talk McGinn / Luiz are our most experienced central midfield partnership. We know Luiz is match fit and sharp from Olympics and is a more attacking minded player than Nakamba. We've two home games coming up so it makes sense to play Luiz alongside McGinn.

Nakamba had one bad game=Nakamba bad Luiz good Classic Villa Talk It's more the fact that Luiz can pass a ball 5 yards in a straight line and in a midfield 2 particularly that is absolutely crucial. If Smith is going to do the sane thing and switch back to a midfield 3, and tell Nakamba to stay the hell away from the halfway line, I am less concerned. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luiz has not played consistently well since post lock down which is over a year ago I don't care what he is doing for Brazil. Completely different set up.

El-Reacho Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 Remember when Westwood made his debut for us against Sunderland (think it was a month or two into the season) and we had a big win - the talk in the Westwood thread turned to United's impending bid and whether we could hang onto him....
