Cliffy Biro Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 Gabby was massive a few years back too and it effected him although that was more muscle than fat, somethings wrong with andi that much is clear. Is he just shit and been found out? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troon_villan Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 Starting to irritate me now that he's starting and finishing every game. He's so poor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoony Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 Albrighton > Weimann every single day of the week at the moment. Bowery > Weimann for crying out loud. Still backing Andi but oh my GOD he needs to be dropped. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Con Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 3 assists and a goal this season. Benteke's contribution is 4 goals. Play has been messy but he's doing okay for a 22 year old. You have to stick with young players as they find consistency. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 He was sharper yesterday and made some very good passes, although still not consistent enough throughout and still invisible for a lot of the match... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he was to be found out as, stated in one post, he would definitely have been found out last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to stick with young players as they find consistency. Below average stats over 18 games for a forward player. Not like he's put in the performances to forgive him with.

WooJung Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 The only worse player in the starting 11 is Luna. Finished the game ok, but should be dropped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomh621 Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 Funny that his finishing seems off but his passing seems great. Maybe he is turning into a playmaker rather than a striker? because he tries to shoot first time… EVERY FRIKKING TIME. Take a touch Weimann, christ.

dont_do_it_doug. Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 I thought he did ok today. Drifted in and out the game a little but he played his part in some of our better moves. I think he's better defensively than Albrighton so he'd keep his place for the Arsenal game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big_John_10 Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 The couple of highlights on MOTD made him look pathetic. Nearly gifted them an opening goal and later on made a pathetic attempt at a tackle. As much as I don't rate albrighton I agree he should start over weimman.

Tomaszk Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 I'd prefer Tonev to him in the side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isa Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 I'd prefer Tonev to him in the side. Me too. At least with Tonev you can make the argument that he is still aclimatising to the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomaszk Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 I hate to think what his new contract is worth. It will burn us and Lambert in the long run because it'll put him off from awarding/agreeing to larger contracts if he thinks the player's form will dip to this extent as soon as he's rewarded like this. Turn it round Andi. This is shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanBalaban Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Finished the game well after what has unfortunately become a typical poor showing of late. He played his part in our best passing sequence which culminated into a perfectly weighted pass through to Albrighton (still gutted he missed that one-on-one!!!). When we were trying to hold the ball up in the dying embers of the game he did well too. It seemed his touch has returned, as well as his passing ability. Andi has recently either under hit, over hit or misdirected a pass all too often, but playing tight up against the touchline in the top corner his close control and short passing were back. This is probably the first sign that he should play again in the next match, having previously warranted dropping. I hope he plays in the cup as he seems to be a confidence player. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turn it round Andi. This is shit. I agree, and the same could be said for nearly every player who was rewarded with a new contract over the summer. The one exception, Delph, perhaps proves that Lambert may have been a bit rash with his generosity. Clark is the obvious example that goes against the grain, he got a new contract (perhaps unexpectedly) and has gone on to have a solid season.

Isa Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 I think Weimann's performance looks better because we are weighing it up against his other performances which have been so anonymous, you'd struggle to justify grading them at 1/10. He was involved in a few good moves but it wasn't much better for long-periods of the game. I remember it was the same after the Norwich game where many declared he was back etc. just because of a few moments in the match rather than based on his overall performance.

villa89 Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 I'd prefer Tonev to him in the side. . Tonev has been beyond dire so far in his Villa career. At least Andy showed last season that he has some talent and might come good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember it was the same after the Norwich game where many declared he was back etc. just because of a few moments in the match rather than based on his overall performance. His good play all game in the last 15 minutes of the game, where he was quite effective in his play. Previously his play had been so poor that he never warranted another start, but that was the first glimpse of the player we saw for parts last season. I actually said in the pre-match buildup that I hoped Marc would've started in place of Andi, but I feel that if he can carry his improvement at the end of the match into the cup game on Saturday then (for the first time in a while) probably deserves another start.

Dr_Pangloss Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 (edited) Weimann's problem is that he becomes invisible for large parts of games, some people say because he works very hard off the ball, but I don't buy it, I dont think he's particularly fit.
