We were missing Westwood but I'm not sure he's first choice anymore. He's been under-par this season. The only first choice in midfield now is and should be Delph.

Still think Westwood, Deph and Sylla is our best midfield three when all are on form.  Westwood needs the athleticism of Sylla and Delph around him though, as I don't think he quite has the mobility of most top flight midfielders.

Neither does Michael Carrick, but he's done OK!

I do, or rather did, agree that those three were of best midfield.  Westwood sitting and sparyaing it around with the energy and athleticism of Sylla and Delph either side and slightly infront of him.  Good balance with Delph's left foot also.

The reason I'm not longer so sure is the form of Bacuna.  I fully believe Lowton is just having a blip, so when he's back that adds Bacuna to the midfield conundrum.

Bacuna would certainly give us a turn of pace in there that we dont have at the moment.
