He was that bad I was actually pining for Westwood today, something I thought I'd never do.
I still think he's a good player, but you often hear of foreign players who come over here only to be shocked by the pace of the Premier League. I'm sure he'll improve.

Think Westwood was sorely missed today. As for Sanchez, it will take time to adapt, lets hope he can do so as quickly as possible

I thought he was awful, but if he was running round whilst he shouldn't have even been playing, then giving him the benefit of the doubt is fair enough.

He did look awful, but he deserves time to make an impact whether he had a virus or not.

It will take him time to adjust to the premiership, we have to accept that and think the manager has tried to bed him gently, but had no option but to throw him in today against a very good team

For whatever reason he looked no better than Sylla yesterday, with all the same vices. He has to improve pronto.

Give the guy time and he will come good. As has been said, he was way off the pace, but wasn't meant to be playing.

We badly missed Westy today.

Worse than the Djemba twins

Yeah. Let's write him off. In fact, let's get a posse down to bodymoor and lynch him. There's no justice like angry mob justice.

He showed glimpses of his abilities at least

Some of the duels he won and tackles he made were impressive and something we never use to get from El Ahmadi

If you look at someone like Stan Petrov, he had a great debut and then struggled for the next 2 seasons before becoming a top player in that holding role in front of the defence. I expect any foreign player coming over to struggle in their first season and if they settle faster than that it's a bonus.

He was definitely worse than Djemba, but I don't think he was quite as bad as Djemba.

Is anyone still peddling the Westwood is shit myth after his start to the season? He's no world beater but he's been second only to senderos this season and unjust don't get the criticism from some

I seem to recall similar views about petrov until he got cancer and suddenly became a villa legend. .

The 'he only passes it sideways and backwards' argument.

It is a given that new players especially from slower Latin leagues need time to adjust to the EPL. However, with the devil-take-hindmost ethos of our game, time rules everything. A modestly talented player who adapts quickly probably serves a club better than one who takes a long time to adjust. The sums of money they receive in wages requires them to do the business.  Sanchez is an excellent player but he was an excellent player who played very badly last Saturday. Bad even by our standards of the last four years.
