Ashley Westwood - Sold to Burnley

[PeterWithesShin]

In a bit of fairness to him, it does look the first challenge attempt at a tackle is just a kick at his ankles and that's why his arms go up after the second attempt takes the ball. He's also the only one attempting to block the goal as the defence are wank as usual. Having said that I really wish we had better and he was at best an option from the bench, that he's still pretty much a guaranteed starter is ridiculous.

And just to think at the start of the Lambert era this guy looked like a real talent in the making.  That great day at Anfield seems light years ago now

[footyskillz]

Not robust enough and unable to handle the pressures of playing for aston villa quite frankly . A poor mans Leon Britton.

What about when he just gave up tracking back the player who scored the first goal for them?

Pretty sure I cover it when I say "I really wish we had better and he was at best an option from the bench, that he's still pretty much a guaranteed starter is ridiculous."

Wasn't having a go at you PWS, just pointing out his involvement in the first goal as well.

It's been said for a long time now that when Westwood is one of your first choice midfielders then you know you're in the shit. You can spend all you like but if you fail to strengthen adequately in the middle of the park and at the back then you're in for a whole world of shit.

Tshibola and Jedinak.  He doesn't need to start

The way they are wrapping Tshibola in cotton wool the signs are we have had another dud swung on us.  A very good dud but one with very deep seated injury problems.  Another failure to properly research our expensive purchases.

[TaipeiVillain]

Oh for a Gareth Barry, an Ian Taylor or a Paul Birch.

It is starting to look that way.

[aj2k77]

Dog shit. Absolutely useless, might as well play me to keep things ''ticking over'' with 5 yard passes. No talent at all.

[Tony Erdington]

You know if we carry on at this rate, we will get to a level where this not very good footballer looks the part.

[saunders_heroes]

Not replacing him in the summer and persevering with him in the team was RDM's first and biggest mistake at Villa in my opinion. The midfield was always our weakest area and why we never had a complete overhaul is staggering considering how bad we were. Looks like it's gonna cost RDM his job and I have no sympathy for him. 

[Clampy]

Westwood started this season how he started last season, reasonably well. Earlier on this season, I thought he might have found his level and done a job for us. I was wrong.
