Isa Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 Needs to replace Westwood more like. Why exactly should KEA be dropped ahead of Westwood on the basis of their performances so far this season? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StefanAVFC Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 KEA was awful today. Westwood not much better but at least he doesn't turn around and slow down EVERY attack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isa Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 It is quite clear that Westwood and KEA shouldn't play together as they are too similar but I think KEA offers more then Westwood. Especially off the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StefanAVFC Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 (edited) We miss westwood when he's not there, much like Petrov. Dropping him and leaving KEA in would be catastrophic. What Westwood offers on the ball is far more than what KEA offers off it. Why sacrifice our main passer of the ball to keep in somebody who can do the short stuff, but has no killer ball and slows down most of our attacks. Anyway this is the Sylla thread, not the Westwood or KEA thread so I digress. Edited September 14, 2013 by StefanAVFC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isa Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 He hasn't missed enough games to make that sort of statement. I think a midfield of Sylla/KEA/Delph could work well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sir_gary_cahill Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 Thought sylla looked good at the back end of last season, can't understand why he hasn't had a look in this season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isa Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 Think he was injured for the Arsenal game, KEA came in and looked good and he has been on the bench ever since. We desperately need him back though. The only player in our squad that can occupy the DM role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StefanAVFC Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 He hasn't missed enough games to make that sort of statement. I think a midfield of Sylla/KEA/Delph could work well. All energy and workhorses. Just what we need. We need somebody to put their foot on it. KEA proved today that he just isn't that. Their first goal, case in point. And when he does, he kills our attacks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isa Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 Which attacks have Westwood contributed to so far this season? KEA was superior to Westwood in the Arsenal, Chelsea and Rotherham games. With a proper DM behind him (Sylla), KEA will be able to contribute more to attacks as we saw at Old Trafford last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StefanAVFC Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 You miss my point. It's not about contributing to attacks. It's that KEA stops them dead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isa Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 Based on this one match you mean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StefanAVFC Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 KEA has slowed attacks down more than just this game. If I were to drop anybody for Sylla it would be KEA, for numerous reasons listed above. Aren't you basing your opinion that Westwood should be dropped on this match too? Westwood has offered far more in a Villa shirt than KEA has in both their Villa careers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isa Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 I'm judging Westwood on all his performances this season in the same way I'm judging KEA on his performances this season. If we play Sylla, then there is no point of playing Westwood as he cannot play in a more advanced role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshVilla Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 He cannot be worse than KEA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanBalaban Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 (edited) Needs to come in for KEA next game. I would pay him alongside KEA, Westy and Delph and drop Andi when we're next at home. it will allow the fullbacks to get forward and play the crosses in, whilst retaining possession in the middle of the park.

StefanAVFC Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 Might be a bit narrow though. You don't have permanent wingers in that system so the temptation will just be to play narrow. And remember this was the formation PL tried at the start of last season, which didn't work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanky Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 Sylla for Westwood for me. KEA wasn't very good today either mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KjParton Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 Interesting debate. It seems to be quite split. Sylla for KEA? or Sylla for Westwood? For me it has to be Sylla for KEA. The midfield of Sylla/Westy/Delph played so well in parts last season.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
