Another complete non-entity of a performance from Westwood.  Waste of a good shirt.

I think Westwood sums up the Villa over the last 5 years. Totally inept, completely out of his depth and a product of a chronic lack of ambition.
If I ever see him take another set piece again I might kill someone.

I completely agree - his set pieces are pathetic . But no more pathetic than the other outfield players who let him take every one .

Why doesn't one of those gutless wonders stand up and take them ?

Because we have no leaders. The definition of stupidity as they say is doing the same thing over again and expecting a different outcome, that sums up Westwood's corners. We are thick as shit.

Soon as I saw his inevitable inclusion on the team sheet I knew we'd lose the centre of the park and be seeing crap corners yet again

He's got the Heskey magic. Managers and teammates love him but fans think he is shit.

He was much improved yesterday I thought. And I wish he'd been on the pitch to take that corner in injury time. It might have made it into the opposition penalty area if he had been.

Unlike the previous couple of games where he was genuinely poor, I don't know why people are marching on here to give him further treatment for yesterday. He actually moved the ball forward, won it a few times in defense, and created our best chance with the sort of purposeful forward run we've been begging him to make.

I'd also make the point that while Veretout and Grealish's deliveries looked a lot better, they were easily cleared anyway, so I think that speaks for just how much people overrate the threat of each individual corner, just because we're shit at defending them.

I like Westwood in that he's a decent passer of the ball, he's certainly not "shit" by the definition I would have used of that word with respect to, say, Heskey.

I just don't think we can afford to carry a player who does that well but everything else so badly.

I also think Veretout looks like a duplicate of Westwood except he makes himself look much busier around the pitch and doesn't follow up every pass with a few minutes of walking around.
