just got some high praise from the commentators talking about his long road back to the Premiership, how good he has been and how hard he will be to shift and "looks the real deal to me".
playing fantastically for Sunderland today. Although Fulham have been playing in fits and start, when he has been called upon to make saves he has done so very well. Really solid. Great to see.
I like high energy football. A little bit rock and roll. Many finishes instead of waiting for the perfect one.

Beaten twice as Sunderland lost to Wolves earlier but that save from Hunt was something else.
Did they say he was their 3rd choice keeper? I thought he was very good.
They mentioned on MotD2 that Sunderland had a few keepers. No kidding. Far be it from me to chose Martin O'Neil's team for him but Westwood has to be in pole position now. Pulled off a contender for 'double-save of the season' a couple of months ago too if memory serves.

2.50 ish.
Think you have to give credit to Westwood I don't think many keepers woudl have stopped that.
'Westwood's sunny outlook captures the mood': http://www.independent.ie/sport/socc...d-3119679.html
Westwood on the bench today. He said during the week if he started on the bench on Saturday he would assess his situation (can't find the link).
Hopefully he'll be heading out the exit door at Sunderland before the end of August and getting some first team action.
Starts for Sunderland tonight. No Meyler though...
Good that WW got the full game for Sland in the league cup last night. Hopefully they can go on a run in that cup, good for WW to be getting first team games as I suspect he wont be dislodging Mignolet anytime soon.
Meyler and McClean also played with the latter scoring their second.

Martin O'Neill: Sunderland's Simon Mignolet as good as Manchester City goalkeeper Joe Hart.
The 24-year-old joined the Black Cats from Sint-Truiden in 2010 and has progressed over the past two years into one of the most reliable goalkeepers in the Premier League.
O'Neill now says that Mignolet's performances for Sunderland this season have been as good as Hart, who is rated by many football observers as the best goalkeeper in the world.
"He's been fantastic for us, absolutely splendid," O'Neill is quoted as saying in the Daily Telegraph.
"There are parts of his game he wants to improve on, but I tell you he is as brave as a lion. He's been as good as anyone in the Premier League this season.
"He made two great saves against West Ham to earn the team a point and two more against Wigan last weekend which were incredible saves.
"We would have gone two down if it wasn't for Simon's saves in the first half. He kept us in the game big time and maybe his work has gone a little unnoticed.
"When I look at Joe Hart I see an excellent goalkeeper, his performance for Manchester City against Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League was sublime, but Simon is playing just as well."

Time for Keiren to move on I am afraid.
Forget about the performance or entertainment. It's only the result that matters.
