Ashley Westwood - Sold to Burnley

[CT]

With games now analysed to the 'enth degree, I can't understand how nobody at Aston Villa has noticed how shite these corners from AW are.

He actually bent one in against Blues and it caused some defensive panic.

He's just awful. Every move that goes through Westwood breaks down, he hides behind opposition players, and points rather follows his man. That's before you even mention his set-pieces.

Offers absolutely nothing. And when you've been shit for four years, look at some of the common denominators...

League 1 player at best

No suprise that we continue to struggle near the bottom when the likes of Westwood continue to shuffle onto the field.  When I think some of the great midfielders I've seen at the club over the years, this perpetual loser isn't fit to lace their boots.

He is wank.

[curiousorange]

He's crap. Some players you don't notice them until they're out. Westwood you always notice because he's totemic for our current malaise. In a decade's time you'll only remember him for the fact he played in an FA Cup Final, if you can bear to think about it.

It's genuinely terrifying that nobody seems to have spotted that his corners are consistently shit.  I can barely watch when he gets ready to take one.  At the very least you'd expect a player to be able to take a corner without spooning it out of play or straight to an opposing player.

Is it a case that the coaching staff can't see it or they don't want to see it.

Fucking atrocious player, I hate seeing him play for us.

[mr woo]

Been saying it for three years, his negatives outweigh his positives.

Got Wolverhampton Wanderers written all over him.

[KevinGage]

I'm not a fan by any stretch, but he seems to be going through a rough trot form-wise.

A player we do need an upgrade on, if we want to move away from the arse end of the table. I wouldn't be against him coming on as an option from the bench to slow things down when required. So I wouldn't be chasing him out to Wolves or anywhere similar just yet.

But we do need better.

[Risso]

He can do one thing, and one thing only and he isn't even very good at that. And I simply can't get over the fact that he's got a new 5 year contact.

Realy had high hooes for him at the start. The new Dennis Mortimer, I thought, how wrong I was

a poor excuse for a footballer, in his time here he is getting worse

tippy fucking tappy sideways fucking pointing shithouse bottler

I think he's a scapegoat, but he's useless in our current setup because we don't need a third midfielder whose only skill is to keep the ball. Just play Veretout and work through his growing pains, or go to a two-man midfield with Sanchez/Gana.

He's not a scapegoat. He's a reason for where we are. Not the only one. Just an obvious one.
