He wasn't exposed yesterday by his lack of pace. He may be against quicker forwards particularly at home when we are pressing a game. Thats my big doubt about him and why I will reserve judgement until he's played a few games.
For me Westwood is a must starter every week. He consistently puts in good performances, goes about things quietly and effectively and uses the ball well.
Yes an excellent debut and seemed to form a good partnership with Vlaar but its only one game. We didn't judge Baker and Clarke over one match. I'll wait and see how he does over a longer period before forming an opinion.
20 points behind Liverpool last season though. I know they have lost Suarez but they are stronger in other areas now.
are they? Cant see Lallana, Lambert and markovic combined getting as many goals as Suarez got not to mention the assists. defence isn't any better either
Still think they have a better squad than United though!
It could be or maybe its just his personality. Anyway its a shame because I am partial to classy lefthanders like Moeen and Davies. He's given up the gloves now hasn't he?
Yes I used to watch him a lot in his Worcester days. A classy lefthanded batsman but he did drop a few catches as keeper. Shame he's been overlooked for England... Heard the reason was he's too quiet.
I rate Davies as a batsman but think there are many better keepers than him to be fair. Foakes is highly rated and Essex have Foster who is one of two best keepers in the country with Chris Read.
35 goals in 42 appearances in his last season for Sheffield. Thats the reason they or another club will sign him. Forget morals and ethics, football is about money and success and whilst some of us hold the higher moral ground, if he went back to Shef United and scored another 35 goals the fans will soon forgive and forget.
I can't see us doing much except avoiding relegation again.. Yes we have a few of our bomb squad back and some free signings but compared to other clubs we have done nothing in the transfer market and last season we had some amazing results against top 4 sides which probably won't happen again. Massive game at Stoke because it could set the tone for the season.
They signed Marlon King a serial woman beater so can't see why they wouldn't resign Ched Evans, who has done his time and should be allowed to apply his trade like anybody else that has been to prison.
