Him and KEA together were wetter than a limp lettuce. He looks to have a bit more spunk in him now.

The arrivals of Sanchez and Cleverley are only a good thing for Westy. It'll keep him on his toes and ensure he keeps his performance levels up.

Agree ST and that's how it should be.  He has picked up since Sanchez arrived and probably knows that he needs to stay at that level to keep his place.  He is suited to the defensive midfield spot and having Cleverley and Delph either side of him will help.  I think having someone in an attacking midfield position would bring him on even more, as he is capable of threading passes through.

Westwood could be a Des Bremner type of player, not flashy, but gets the job done.

Someone else thinks he could play for England...

The only thing that piece fails to take into account is the fact that Mark Noble is wank.

I know his cousin. A blue nose with 'ZULU' tattooed onto his right calf.
One of my favourite ever films when I was about 10 years old.
Not worth a tattoo though!

Westwood and Huddlestone arent anywhere near the required level. If Wilshere's lack of mobility is getting exposed at international level, those two wont be any better. Pirlo or Alonso they arent.

Noble has been unlucky not to get any chance with England, a busy type of player comfortable taking the ball off the back from what Ive seen. 3 man midfield would suit him.

Cleverley and Sanchez coming in gives Westwood some much needed competition for a place now. Thought he offered zero against Newcastle but has improved in last two games.

Westwood is also three years younger than the other two and could easily develop into a better player than he is now.

I just read your post, and thought "Mark Noble is wank, I've seen that phrase somewhere before" then a split second later, my eyes scanned downwards and I saw your signature.

How many England-pickable midfielders are good enough, though?

It's not a great selection.

And it's not exactly like they have top quality opposition to play in the qualifiers either.  I suppose Carrick would be the favoured choice to play in the defensive midfield role if they continue with the diamond formation.

Earlier in the week it was Baker and now Westwood's being tipped for England. There's something strange going on.

Baker tipped for England? I must have missed that, because that is absolutely bonkers. He played well on Saturday, but one good game does not make a good player.
