Rovers13 Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 his strength is his speed and timing of runs i don't think work rate and tracking back is necessarily his main strength although at times he does it well of late he has not looked as fast or made the same runs, when he has you can tell he has lost the belief he will beat the defender and score. i still think he is quality but it is weird that so far all the players rewarded with new contracts have been utter gash so far this season.[/quote That's not true though. Clark got a new contract and has played quite good. Benteke did and while he hasn't been great he hasn't been poor. I think Guzan did as well, right? And he's been playing at a very high level again. So only weimann Westwood and lowton have had a dropoff, and lowton hasn't gotten to play much to turn it around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 If he's out for three weeks I think we'll see a bench position at least for Calum Robinson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
briny_ear Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 I think part of Andi's problem is that, like a lot of young players, he has lost form and is now trying too hard to recover it and just making things worse. Mostly all we've seen this season so far is a lot of effort and a lot of frustration. The coaching staff need to calm him down and work with him on how to regain his balance, timing and shooting.

JoshVilla Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 Looked better today than he has been (apart from that shot late in the second half that probably ended up in the Bull Ring somewhere). He's still not quite back to form, but today looked a definite improvement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodigan Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 couple of weeks off to get his head straight and has come back and been part of the turn around of our fortunes... hopefully that gets him playing with confidence again, and we start seeing good andi back.... nice assist for the first goal will have done him lots of good....

Zatman Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 think it was his enthusiasm when he came on that really got the team going. that shot which Myhill spilled wide really woke up the rest of players 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papillon Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 Yeah totally agree. When the camera switched to Gabby, Weimann and Delph I got a real sense of hope for the game. Weimann was pepped to the core, he ran after every ball and really wanted to win that game. Changed the game for us without doubt, both with his shot that nearly went in and an assist for our first goal. We got the momentum for the first time in the game and WBA looked scared immediately. It was strange, it almost looked like they were leading 2-0 over Man Utd and they suddenly put on Van Persie, Kagawa and Nani to score goals, seldom do you see an effect like that from a lower mid-table club like Aston Villa. It goes without saying, when we are fielding Delph, Weimann, Agbonlahor and Benteke at the same time we look like a much, much better team. Without them we look like a team incapable of doing anything to harm the other team in open play. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingfisher Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 I really like Weimann, he runs and runs, he has pace in abundance and I think his all round game is getting better. Once his decision making improves, which I think it will, he'll be a really good player. It's sometimes forgotten how young he still is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 You can't ask for more than a team that turns up on saturday that shipped 6 in their last visit to VP and probably have the most pedestrain back 4 in the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AVTuco Posted November 28, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted November 28, 2013 (edited) He could be the one thing Benteke needs to get back to being a beast. Edited November 28, 2013 by AVTuco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodigan Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 looked fired up and hungry when he came on... immediately causing trouble leading to the first goal.... success and failure at this level is a real fine line - lets hope that a couple of weeks off gets him back to the right side of that line.... go on andi, lets get the goals in...

VillaChris Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 Called for him to start and yet underwhelming. Really disappointing to me we'll be in December in a few hours and he's scored one league goal after the season he had last year. You can argue the same with Gabby and I have reservations with him playing in most home games but he has made more impact in the games he's played imo. Weimann takes up some really positions on the field, he's good at dropping off the forward line but his touch isn't consistent enough and too many attacks break down with him. Take that breakaway in the first half when Gabby was running through the middle, passed correctly to Weimann who miscontrolled it and we lost the attack. Just find him the most frustrating player for us this season. We saw the potential last year and I really believed he'd kick on. I really hope it's not a case of another young player who has a good 6 months, believes the hype and gets a new deal and doesn't kick on from that.
