I think his biggest problem is the fact that even when he's doing his job then it largely goes unnoticed. The role demands that he has good positioning and moves the ball quickly. If he was breaking into the box ahead of the other midfielders, or dribbled around players from deep positions then he wouldn't be doing his job.His biggest problem at the moment is his passing is not incisive enough and he's committing stupid fouls.
Ashley Westwood can succeed Michael Carrick for England, according to Aston Villa boss Paul Lambert.The holding midfielder has become an established top-flight player this season. And he weighed in with a brilliant maiden goal for the club at West Brom in a thrilling 2-2 draw .Lambert said: “I would say he is in the mould of Carrick or Paul Scholes, but he will be always be his own man. That is a huge compliment to him.“Every team needs one, you need somebody like him to make the engine work. You have to have someone disciplined to put the team first.”Lambert snapped up Westwood, 23, from Crewe in August 2012 for under £1million.He added: “The money we bought him for was incredible. If he ever did get a chance for England I don’t think he would let anyone down.”

Lambert is deluded. That's like saying Rodney Trotter can take over from Benteke.
