irutsun Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Does anyone think Weimann suffers from Dirk Kuyt syndrome? ie, he does so much running around, that he is actually too knackered to be an attacking threat? I think the similarities start and end in that they're both strikers who have, for some reason, been chucked out onto the wings into positions they aren't really suited to. Kuyt scores and provides assists. Weimann just does my head in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexicon Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Kuyt played over 300 games in Holland before he moved to Liverpool though - bit harsh to compare him with Andi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foreveryoung Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Lamberts issue! Again to me poor management. Either drop him for a couple of games, play him in a better position or coach him to form again. Yes players lose form but he needs to be shown the way. He is obviously being shown on the training ground what is expected of him. If he is not producing game after game he needs to be dropped. He may be young but he is seen as one of our more senior players and should be showing the new guys the way. If he cant handle the crowd unfortunately he is not gonna make it in the premier league. All the big boys thrive on crowd discontent. Also Wiemann to me is a great example, if we changed manager he would be like a new player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodgyknees Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 3 assists and a goal. Not bad for a 22-year-old. Way too much expectation and far too little understanding. Gareth Bale wasn't any more consistent at that age. Huh? Bale fully established himself in the Tottenham team by 21. Also, Weimann has been consistant...consistantly crap! Based on your Lichaj assessment, I guess you will give Weimann time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is not a wide player, nor is he a No. 10. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KSV Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Wiemann has had plenty of games. He needs a break now. Maybe play some reserve games to try and get his confidence/form back. Give Helenius a run Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swerbs Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Clearly he's not complete shit (see last season) just very low on confidence, needs dropping form the first team for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He suited the system and played well at the end of last season. His lack of intelligence and technique was evident even then. It was always clear that the wide-position was never a viable long-term position. He was always going to be found out eventually. Obviously I'm speaking retrospectively as I never imagined for one moment he would become this bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need to create competition for places, force him to "want it" again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troon_villan Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 I'm not saying Weimann is like Bale or as good as Bale, just pointing out even the best players are not always consistent when they are young. I remember for a long time Bale was criticised by Tottenham fans. He proved them wrong. Weimann has contributed about as much as any other Villa player this season - 3 assists and a goal - so the criticism lately is weirdly OTT. I'm guessing he's the new Bannan. Everyone knows he has great ability but he's not performing at a world class level. Con, there is simply no credence to this part of your defence of Weimann. I think the reason why is pretty obvious. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Cropley Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 Wiemann has had plenty of games. He needs a break now. Maybe play some reserve games to try and get his confidence/form back. Give Helenius a run ....sounds like he's having a break now - out on the piss in Temple Bar, Dublin last night with Clark. Mind you, after the latest pile of dog wank they served up at the weekend, they could hardly nip in the Adventurers for a swift half or three.

AVTuco Posted January 18, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted January 18, 2014 No, I didn't bump this for the nice picture above.. But to read views about Andi. Everyone still seems to hate him, even after the goal today, which he played perfectly. I still maintain that regardless of his mistakes and poor crosses, he is one of our only truly dangerous players, who can make things happen. And in my opinion he will make a comeback togerher with Benteke. They'll feed off each other, as they did last spring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cliffy Biro Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 He lacks composure and decision making though, his passing suffers because of the two and it just makes him incredibly frustrating to watch. Cant fault his effort though really is great to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVTuco Posted January 18, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted January 18, 2014 I know what you mean. I just think he is useful. Only from time to time at the moment. Hopefully more regularly in the near future. Very near. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danishlad Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 We ask too much of him. He has too tackle, chase, pressure, score goals, create goals and on top of that today he had to man mark the def Liverpool player, (Gerard, Lucas) If he could do all these jobs he would win the Ballon d'or. ( or come close) He is a young player, who is absolute quality. I actually think that in a couple of season he will be able to do all those jobs to a very, very, high standard. Nothing but praise from me. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
