DCJonah Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 He barely touches the ball anymore. He's just not involved in anything. Runs around a lot and contributes **** all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure if there was something better in the squad they would be playing. Bruce inherited diabolical midfield options and those not playing haven't suddenly become better players. January can't come quick enough. I would be very surprised and mightily pissed off if come February 1st Westwood is still considered one of our top four midfield options.

I was genuinely shocked by what I witnessed from Westwood tonight. i have never favoured him , but that was a new low for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fun Factory Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 Average player who is now very much lacking in confidence. It's a shame we all had high hopes for him but it will be better for all if he goes to a new club in the summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taxahunter Posted December 14, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted December 14, 2016 If i had been playing like this in my Old Boys team, I would have been substituted at half time. Shocking how he gets a full game. I just don't understand it. I was like playing with 9 men, with hm and Agbonlahor not contributing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villaglint Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 Not sure I've ever seen someone work as hard as him and have such little effect on a game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post DCJonah Posted December 14, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted December 14, 2016 Just looking at stats for last night. Once again, out of all players from both sides who played the full game, westwood had the least amount of touches of the ball. Out of all players from both teams who played the full game, westwood attempted the least amount of passes. He made 1 tackle and 1 interception. Jack Grealish had 1 tackle and 5 interceptions. The guy is **** abysmal. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villaglint Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 I've always been one for eyes over stats but that is very very poor for CM especially when his strength is supposed to be the link man in the team. Some days stats and eyes agree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyblade Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 19 hours ago, villadodo said: I'm just going to let the stats do the talking here. Championship games Westwood has started... Played 15 Won 2 Drawn 8 Lost 5 Points 14 Points per game 0.93 Championship games Westwood hasn't started... Played 6 Won 4 Drawn 2 Lost 0 Points 14 Points per game 2.33 This is not even taking into account that we scored an equaliser after he came off in the 85th minute against Newcastle. And that we let conceded an equaliser after he came on against Barnsley. Based on points per game if we had played all 21 games without Westwood we would be top of the table (48.93 points). If we played every game with Westwood we would be in the relegation zone (18.93) points. These stats have zero context and don't even take into account the not so insignificant event that was the managerial change, and the complete reversal in fortune that resulted. That said, it was a pretty bad performance by him yesterday. Well, not bad per se but he was completely anonymous. Didn't really do anything of note. Ineffectual at best and worst.

If you consider not really doing anything to be a terrible performance, then fair enough. He was so anonymous that he couldn't really be terrible. It's not that he did something wrong, but more that he didn't do anything right because...he didn't do anything. Like, I didn't even realize he was playing til midway in the second half.

KSV Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 Never liked him. I can't believe he's been a regular starter for 5 years. No wonder we are where we are. Sad thing is we gave him a five year deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sir_gary_cahill Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 I think he's still a good player for this football club, he played a big role in keeping us in the premier league for a few years, he is one of my favourite current players in the squad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farlz Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 He was embarrassing last night. There's no defending him at all. Good piece this, sums it up quite nicely. Quote There's ineffective and then there's Ashley Westwood. These players are in every club - two of them used to be at Villa but Tom Cleverley has since upgraded to stand around Everton doing nothing instead. It's not that they're particularly terrible footballers - it's just that they're afraid to play football, which doesn't exactly help when you're a footballer. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sorry but to say he played a big role in keeping us up is a joke. As soon as he became the most senior player in the midfield we went down in our poorest season. He was carried by Delph no question. A truly terrible player. Some of us have seen it since day 1. And we're equally amazed that there are still people who don't see it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodgyknees Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 I see he didn't have many touches of the ball? He probably didn't want to get booed. Or going by the obsession of some he might worry about his safety if he gave it away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
