We can't have it both ways. We have all been agitated about the lack of goals, negative thinking and lack of belief.Sherwood is sorting all these. He's after a win!
We might as well go for it. In all honesty Westwood, though not bad in the last few games, has been somewhat anonymous. It doesn't surprise me to see him sacrificed after Timmy said something to the effect of wanting to notice players on the pitch. Players who try to influence games rather than merely just being there. Cleverley has risen to that more so than Westwood.They're flimsey and I admire the bravery to really put out a side to have a go. Obviously Benteke comes in and it would be harsh to drop either Zogbia or Sinclair at the moment. Zoggy will only last 60-70 anyhow so if needs be there will be a plan B should we need more grit in the middle.

They are also crap at home and like us in many ways get nervous quickly in front of their home fans. We need to get into them, get the first goal and kill any little bit of belief they have. That line is fine and great to see Benteke in there.Their home form may be crap but have you seen our away form? We absolutely need to "get into them" but as they play very narrow I worry Delph and Cleverly will be outnumbered in midfield. At the risk of sounding flippant, I am completely dismissing anything we "achieved" this season under Lambert. Yes our form home and away has been poor which is why we are where we are. But last weeks home performance was better than anything this season under Lambert and I expect the away form to improve too. That starts with pressing and not being afraid to attack.

I think Westwood was every bit as important to our performances as the other midfielders.
