Playing a 3 because of Westwood is simply us accommodating rubbish. And it's because we accommodate rubbish that we're currently looking like league 1 candidates.

And it's because we accommodate rubbish that we're currently looking like league 1 candidates. While I really don't wan't Westwood in the team (trust me on this, I reeeeealy don't want it) we don't have any midfielder who can play in a 2 man midfield. Possibly Tish, but I doubt it. So we simply must play a 3 man midfield. Jedinak is shot, this seasons Lescott. Gardner is, well, not that good sadly. And Westwood is a non entity, a spectral form of a midfielder. Playing a 3 man midfield is Imo not to accommodate Westwood, but rather to find a form where we are not totally overrun in midfield. I'm more than up for giving Lyden a go, even thou I haven't seen much of him, possibly even Bacuna rather than having to see Westy's name in the line-up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sums him up. From the highlight clip I think he was fouled a bit, could've been whistled, 50-50. His fault, but nothing like Jedinak's brainfart.

By the time that moron Westwood had thrown in his arms in the air and stood looking at the referee, the Preston player was 15 yards closer to our goal, and in a very threatening position. He just isn't good enough on any level, and the crowd's reaction to him after that was poisonous. I think he's done here, personally. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 hopefully that 2nd goal was his last action as a Villa player but we all know it wont be. We have had some poor midfielders in the past like Djemba-Djemba and Osbourne but they at least didnt stick around longer than they were welcome this guy is just a fraud who will probably be still here come the end of his contract Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phumfeinz Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 (edited) For those who haven't seen the goal (at 1:12 if the time tag doesn't work): This is just inexcusable. Not only does he lose the ball like a mug, he then stands still like a petulant child and lets the opposition run away with it. Get this horrible player out of the club ASAP.

I think he's done here, personally. because the self same thing has happened too many times....the crowd are done with it. and that is part of the problem at Villa successive managers have not dealt with it.....it has had to get to this. In many ways the crowd have been short changed by managers who have just failed to develop the team properly, just sat on their hands.....until the obvious just stares you in the face. Its disappointing, shocking and downright incompetent of them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyblade Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 Yeah he was weak there, but the first kick at him was a foul let's be honest. Completely clipped him without touching the ball. If you're unsure, just watch it in slow motion, preferably 0.25x. Took out his legs completely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same goes for Jedinak and Gardner as well. The only midfielder we have that can possibly play in a 2 is Tshibola. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because in his minute footballing brain he actually believed that he had the physical strength and footballing skills needed to turn away from his opponent and continue forward with the ball. Unfortunately for him, he has neither! I have no problem with him as a human being but a footballer he is not, certainly not at the level we are at now or in previous seasons.

From the top right to us fans. There should be no 'if' about it. It should be completely unacceptable for us to have to endure such poor players and we should make that known. Not make do..... After all we don't tend to make do with managers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After all we don't tend to make do with managers. 100% agree with this, however, 4/5 of our midfield is utter shite. Though i think that with a new manager(one who presumably knows and accepts that our midfield is the #1 priority to fix) will bring in a couple more players that will push Gardner/Westwood and others out the door(possibly free transfers who could immediately come in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
