Arguably out 3rd and 4th choice midfield pairing. Could be tough or the pressure of knowing they are 3rd and 4th choice could inspire.

Precisely why any talk of selling Westwood is crazy.
He's no superstar but fuck me, that midfield would be even shitter without him.

Here's a leftfield idea, but how about signing better players than him?

He's been on the books for four years now - 100+ appearances. 

If he was going to turn into David Platt mkII or even just a vaguely competent and effective central midfielder we would have seen it by now.

With that line up we will either win 3-0 or lose 4-0. Loss looks more likely!

We need a squad.
Maybe he won't play when Tish and Jedinak are available, but when either are not, I'd rather Westwood played than Gardner.

Well that midfield is beyond feeble. Can't see us getting anything now tbh. At least we've got Jedinak to shore it up after today, but I'd have changed the shape today and put Amavi left mid.

Yes, or playing Hutton would make Bacuna an option as well.

Just as I was liking RDM , he comes up with that midfield .

Tish must be injured and can not believe the Jedi has not got clearance , he played last week ffs

Looking at that team and bench, we need 4/5 more in I think.

Tish is injured and Jedinak didn't receive clearance.

With that midfield it's probably best to go with MON tactics and bypass the midfield altogether and hoof it up to Rudi in the chance that he'll get a knock-on.

Now can somebody explain to me the logic of putting Richards on the bench?
