Jarpie Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Wasn't it Bent who said that Weimann is the best finisher in the squad? Yes, he missed a sitter yesterday, probably nervous. Should probably be on the bench against QPR and come on late on. But he's done a rather good job so far this season. Like I wrote in relegation-topic, Weimann wasn't probably completely recovered from the Arsenal game, and it probably took it's toll also on his sharpness on his head, if fully recovered thus being completely sharp he probably would've taken the ball, move to the right foot and taken a shot.

Yes, that thought crossed my mind too. He works pretty hard and that usually takes its' toll. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaAndLoyal Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Really like Andi and hope Lambert keeps faith in him when he has an average performance, like yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonic_bouma Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 i was fookin fuming when he didnt pass to Holman early on Holman would have been clean through how he didnt see it ill never know its not the first time he has made the completely wrong decision this season i like his graft, his goal against Utd was well taken but he isnt a top 8 player fine for us now though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaAndLoyal Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 How you can say that about a 21-year-old kid who has only just broke through to the first team this season is beyond me? I agree that pass to Holmann was very frustrating but there's no point using it as a stick to beat him with. He did spot the pass, he just didn't release the ball as soon as he should have.

VillaAndLoyal Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Fair enough if you don't rate him as much but to make such sweeping judgments on him when he's clearly still settling into his first Premier League season is a little harsh if you ask me.

chappy Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 I love that he has so much passion for the club. His celebration on the bench when Benteke scored last night was nice to see. Think he will keep improving with a run in the team, one of my favourite players at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciggiesnbeer Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 I like him. I have no problem with him not passing , strikers are paid to take the responsibility and be selfish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villaglint Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 He has made a couple of poor decisions in good position recently (missing the pass to Holman being one) however remember he is a striker and not an attacking midfielder. I am not surprised his through balls arent up to scratch because his real strength is his clever movement and finding a yard in the box. He works hard and is a threat going forward - when he calms down in front if goal I can see him being a real asset for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 lacks composure big time, works hard though cant really agree with that. It might of being a tap-in but his goal against Fulham was a huge goal for the club and showed a cool head Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexicon Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 He's young and learning - he's definitely got the right attitude and has come close numerous times for us, along with hitting the post. A little more luck and experience and he could've scored quite a few goals by now. I think it'll come in time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swerbs Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 He'll improve his decision making (when to take a touch etc..) with experience, we know he can finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might of being a tap-in but his goal against Fulham was a huge goal for the club and showed a cool head Too many examples of poor touches, too many touches, picking wrong decisions, fluffing chances etc for me , hence why he lacks composure IMO. Something that can improve so let's hope it does Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Precisely - Gabby is much much worse at decision making if we're making comparisons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big_John_10 Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 Weimman is a hard working goal scorer. He doesn't have much else to his game but at the moment lambert and most fans seem happy just as long as people run around a lot. I think he's going to be a good goal scorer but not offer much else and won't be starting much if we bring in a proper wide player in January.

andym Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 he seems a bit too frenetic to me. love the effort but really needs to sort out the end product. he tends to be in a position to do something good and then ruin it because he rushes things. i dont know whether thats just inexperience or whether he is always going to be like that. he also needs to learn that off the ball as a striker you dont need to chase down every single lost cause. there's times when he will sprint full speed chasing a backpass to the keeper, his speed usually taking him right up to or past the keeper. for most of them he is never going to get there quick enough to do anything, its comfortable for the keeper. all he has done left himself miles offside and knackered because he has gone at it full pelt. a smarter player would show some intent, stopping the keeper from messing around and forcing him to kick it, but would hang back a bit, staying closer to an onside position and conserving sprinting energy - if we win the ball back quick he is then in a great position to get in behind the defense, and also hasnt wasted energy which could be important as the game goes on.
