Do not think we should be writing off KEA as an inportant MF he had a bad game yesterday by his standards but has been very good compared to say Reo C. He can break up play and can pass with a high success rate. Westwood is steadly becoming a very good player and will get better and better IMO. I am sure Lamberts scouts will have a few players identified for Jan ready to improve on what we have .....

comparing our midfielders to Reo C?

why?

why not compare to milner or barry?

Because he plays a similar role and some suggested in the summer we should sign him on a free.

Would be my guess.

Commentators over here made a big thing of how one of the reasons we looked fairly comfortable defensively was that Westwood had done such a good  job marking Corzola out of the game - pre match they'd been going on about how Corzola makes Arsenal tick.

I think Herd's a useful squad player, but we need better than him to be a regular starter.

You say nobody who can pass. Westwood had 90% passing accuracy yesterday, and that was including some tricky through balls and switch passes. So he can absolutely certainly pass.

really? thats it?


Ray Wilkins would have had a 90% pass rate in every game he played


his nickname?

But surely you see the point here. You say nobody can pass, yet Westwood had 91% pass completion, and Bannan over 80%, with Bannan hitting 7 out of 7 successful long forward balls to a team mate. Your assertion is not opinion, it is a statement of disproved fact.

Anyhow, got any worms?

That really proves Westwood is having an impact already. Corzola is a world class player and Westwood was all over him. Got to admire Lamberts knowledge and faith in lower division players ......

Yes he's a great bit of scouting, as I see he's a brilliantly mature player. Oddly eventhough he isn't experienced, he brings an air of experience to our midfield through his maturity and quality if that makes sense.

calm down

im not fishing - if i was i could ask a question about a mod on here and his mate that started a thread about me

the guy has played 4 games....and 2 subs appearances

lets not get carried away...he looks ok ( Barry bannon got motm v Arsenal and he wasnt that good)

we had people on here creaming their pants about you tube videos and a couple of friendlies for Holman and KEA

lets just relax and not get carried away is all i am saying

no worms, no fishing rods, just an opinion

Westwood got man of the match in the papers I read this morning. Also he's made four starts and looked very assured.

One of the pundits was John Jensen who was pretty complimentary about the way we'd gone about the game - he has a habit of coming out with weird analogies - yesterdays was Westwood had spent so long, so close to Corzola, that Corzola could probably guess which toothpaste he used !!

Which in a way does Westwood a disservice, because he was excellent with the ball as well. He didn't just nullify Cazorla, he got us going forward as well.

I know Bannan got the stadium man of the match, what I said was in several papers Westwood got man of the match. It's all about differing opinions, but Westwood was excellent.

relax

We are not doing well, I think that's plainly obvious to see. The point was that against Arsenal and Man Utd Westwood looked excellent, and he's not going to face many stiffer challenges in this league. So if he's not out of his depth against them it's reasonable to assume he can perform against poorer sides.

I think we are looking for positives, of which the kids that hold their own and show real promise provide though. If Westwood was 28 and bought for 10 million to play that role, I would have still said he was excellent last night.

Re the thing about a mod and starting a thread about you - I have not see it, so kindly point me in the direction.

The worm comment was nothing to do with fishing, more your clearly bleak outlook.

And finally Bannan, on the statistics of the game, for both side, he aggregated the highest score for the evening. I know stats are not everything, but he clearly had a very good game last night, and our best moments came following balls from either him or Westwood. Celebrate the small steps, there will be plenty to moan and be upset about between now and may.
