Con Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 Disagree entirely. Agbonlahor played badly today. Kept losing the ball, missing passes and missed an open goal. Weimann was dangerous in attacking positions and created chances for others. Weimann was off the pace, made some really bad passes, poor positioning and also didn't link well. However valid are your criticisms all I would say is Weimann played 10* better than Gabby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dudevillaisnice Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 Neither are proper 10's the lack of a proper true 10 is killing our season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were both equally as poor, neither contributed to any decent attacking play - and whilst I like both - they were not good enough today. Same for Lowton, KEA, Luna and Vlaar. Clark was decent when he came on. But this is for another thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately the money was not there (according to HH) which is going to kill our season. Pisses me off how just one addition cannot happen due to **** penny pinching. 10 years ago we'd be up in arms! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Con Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 (edited) Weimann was more effective in attack than Gabby. Gabby was dispossessed once, turned the ball over once, and missed an open goal - once. Weimann created an open goal scoring opportunity, and had tried another couple of shots from nothing. If anyone is to be dropped, I'd drop Gabby and play Weimann in the 10 role behind Benteke and Kozak. Edited September 14, 2013 by Con Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was the first time gabby didn't play well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Con Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 Weimann is not a number 10. No, we don't have a specialist number 10. Unless Tonev or Helenius can play that role. Maybe we should drop Weimann and Gabby. Gabby first, for playing worse. That was a brilliant cross by Weimann that set up the chance. You have to score that if you are a striker.

Kingfisher Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 I thought Weimann played the best of the front 3. Worked his socks off too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isa Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 To be fair to Weimann, he isn't a wide forward or #10. He is basically a glorified poacher with his instinct in the box and his composure in front of goal (though he doesn't even seem to have this anymore) being his main strengths.
