Ashley Westwood - Sold to Burnley

[supertom]

I don't think Lowton would be the sort to have an attitude problem, he's just having a dip in form like all kids do. Last season he had to play through his dip, this season he's got Bacuna to fill in. Lowton will get back in the side at some point and I'm sure get back on form. Likewise I expect Westwood to kick on again in the coming weeks.

It's good to have options though.

It's also good to have an environment where no position is secure should there be a dip in form or even focus. Maybe Lowton is just tired and is making mental errors, thus needs a complete break. That's ok. He's always struck me as a quiet, mature lad, so I believe both he and Westwood, who prior to his injury also lacked some form, will come back stronger.

So if Lowton was dropped because of a drop in form what is he going to do about Luna?

We'll see tonight and Saturday, I guess.
As TV says we have some options now, injuries allowing.

Luna is just settling in and should be given time.

Why are people so quick to rubbish players who have only been here for 5 minutes, it's ridiculous.

[supertom]

Lunas been largely okay. Hes had a couple of shockers, but he's still been better than Lowton has this season. Obviously he needs to up his game to the levels he showed in the first two matches again, otherwise Bennett will get another chance.

[OCD]

At some point Bennett will be given a chance again. He's only a young lad himself and at times he was showing signs of growing into the position. He's just not ready for us to rely on him though which is why Tony is important.

If Bennett impresses tonight, he must keep his place for Saturday. Luna's last two performances have been nothing short of horrendous.

No they haven't really.

Luna has been poor in both previous fixtures, particularly against Cabaye where he kept showing him on to his stronger foot  , thereby inviting him to shoot. That said, he is still adjusting to English football so I think judgements can be a little rash sometimes. It'd be great if Bennett impresses tonight; although, I'd still be concerned that he is defensively frail and IMO was the worst player last season.

* Sorry chaps, I confused Cabaye with Ben Arfa.

I thought he dealt with Ben Arfa quite well in the first half but as the game wore on gave him more space.
What Ben Arfa did, though, was to pin Luna back so we didn't see the best part of his game; getting forward.

Lambert said yesterday how well luna did in Saturday considering he was carrying an injury , i would expect Bennett to play tonight, but i hink its a tad harsh for people to be on Luna's back already.
As for Lowton , i was surprised he didn't make the  bench but its good that lambert is prepared to wield the axe when players lose form - it keeps them on their toes- regarding Westwood he hasn't found last seasons form as yet and I don't like seeing him and kea in the same midfield at home as i find it a bit negative .

They would've been had Bennett produced them no doubt.
