Whether Lambert has the imagination to build on the flashes we saw in the second half is a big question, especially as it should mean dropping Cleverley and Westwood for a start. 

Think Westwood may still have a part to play but it's pointless playing him and Cleverly in the same side as they're too similar.

I agree. Of the two, Westwood moves more intelligently, is more likely to make an interesting pass, is better at set-pieces, is more assertive on the field etc. The only thing Cleverley has on him is...actually I can't think of anything.

I'd say he's marginally quicker off the mark than Westwood, and maybe looks much more purposeful when flapping his arms around asking for a pass.

I'm pretty sure the Youtube clip I watched showed him back in 2009 dribbling past some defenders, but apparently you can forget how to do that properly over time.

I genuinely can't think of any reason to be cheerful about Villa at the moment.

Carlos Sanchez. It's a long time since we had a midfielder that's a pleasure to watch.

bstitution. There's an outside chance we won't see him in a Villa shirt.

I bet he starts the next league game.

I'm amazed we even signed him. Given the fact that he appeared to not want to come in the first place.

Its the same as TSM buying CNZ.  He messed him about when he was trying buy him while at SHA, yet he still went for him after he came here.

In the context of our overall team performances though that kind is overwhelmed by how poor we are. I agree Carlos looks a good player, but in our current team he's not able to flourish.

We're not Blues, Albion, Wolves or Chaventry.  There's 4 right there.

Although we may well finish lower in our respective division than the rest of them.
