Yet another amazing save by Westwood rescues the Owls:

Very good. Were the fans singing his name after?
Very good save, even if he knew nothing about it. ;)
Most clean sheets (another one last night) in the Championship (and I am not talking about his prowess in the laundrette) and that behind a very average side.
Try searching in Google for "Westwood praise Sheffield Wednesday" and be prepared for pages on links.

Set to snub interest from Liverpool to remain at Wednesday.
Rumours have strengthened with Westwood not even in todays squad against Man City.
Well it was an FA Cup tie they were unlikely to win. Could even be in Kirkland's contract to play cup games.
I don't know. The record between the clubs is Wednesday 42 wins, City 35 and 27 draws so it was something of a "shock" result to see City win.Quote:

Can only imagine it'd be worth his while if Rodgers really doesn't fancy Mignolet and reckons Westwood could be #1, but not sure if Westwood has the short game to suit the manager.
Yeah, ok, he'd get ahead of Mignolet easy.
Westwood's short game is actually very good as his long game.Quote:

At least Westwood would be pretty much guaranteed a chance to impress but with Rodgers' own future far from certain, it may be too much of a risk for Westwood, given the fact that his career has just stabilised after a few turbulent years.
Liverpool need to replace 2 goalies, so probably Westwood would be seen to be a solid nr2 and he's already had his fill of that.
Wouldn't you think though, the chance to be a part of a fairytale, minding the goals when Liverpool win the fa cup on Steven Gerrard's birthday and last game for Liverpool, would render him senseless and have him knocking on Anfield's door?:rolleyes:
Every game playing alongside Steven Gerrard would be his cup final.Quote:

In a strange way it would nearly take more balls to turn it down given the 'what if' question he'd have to live with afterwards. What are the chances of Westwood being elevated straight to number one for us if he joins Liverpool?... an absolute certainty I'd say.Quote:

Wednesday might want to sell him if the money is good enough as they are still losing money.Quote:

Linked with Everton in today's papers.
