Farlz Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 If he isn't dropped next week, I'll be extremely disappointed. He needs to know he can't just walk into the team, give Tonev his chance finally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillanousOne Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 (edited) i don't get why we continue to play Andi as a winger, Gabby has done this in the past so at least we know he can do it (sort of), Andi is as many have said on here a goal poacher. I understand why Lambert has set us up in the past because of the limited options we had across the squad, Zog, Albrighton, Holman and even Dawkins failed to provide the width he craved so he went with 3 strikers, also KEA, Ireland failed to give us any stability or creativity in midfield. But he has had plenty of time to bring in new players to change/improve how we play. Edited September 15, 2013 by VillanousOne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dakid007 Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 He needs to be taken out of the firing line. Obviously out form. Play tonev so we can add some width to the team and directness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Steve Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 Looked good in the opening 20 minutes against Norwich. Largely anonymous otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 I thought he was good first half and worked hard for the team second half. Don't understand why people have it in for him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fab Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 (edited) Looked good in the opening 20 minutes against Norwich. Largely anonymous otherwise. That's a bit unfair. His initial pass to Kozak set up the goal and his support at the back was really impressive. Luna would have been lost without his help. Edit added: Also, highest WhoScored rating of all our outfield players (so must have done something right).

AVTuco Posted September 21, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted September 21, 2013 Mostly agree Steve. We put more weigh on defense thereafter though, that probably had an effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Folski Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 Ya his shooting was poor as well, great play for the goal though. I think 442 was more at fault for the performance than anything, Westy was a huge loss. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 I thought he did well today and was very unlucky not to score from that excellent shot which hit the post, this was a much better and much more clinical performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isa Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 Replace him with Helenius next game perhaps? Thought Helenius looked like he had something to offer when he came on. Certainly some quality in him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texas_Mike Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 No complaints about him today. Loads of energy and unlucky not to score. A couple of bad passes but overall..... played well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KSV Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 worked hard... hes not the type of player that wont work hard.. its just his confidence/form is down. We dont know the type of person he is.. so its either persist and he will get his confidence back where as some players need benching.. I think Lambert sees him getting worse if benched and is just riding him through it with praise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozvillafan Posted September 21, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted September 21, 2013 His work rate is amazing and most of our good play in the first half went through him...... ... but I get the feeling he's just trying a little too hard and overdoing it. Had he scored in the first couple of minutes instead of hitting the post I think he would have had a stormer. He really needs a goal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 Yes no-one works harder for the team than him. If he's not scoring hes still contributing and he was very unlucky with the shot that hit the post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LockStockVilla Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 I'm a bit confused with those who think he's been poor. His work rate is up there with the best and he is always a danger in the final third whether with his movement or link up play. Played quite a few good balls today, got unlucky not to score, and probably could have more passes if Tonev would pass the damn ball every now or then.

R.Bear Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 Another poor game bar the pass to Kozak for the goal chance. He has no confidence in his finishing and constantly makes the wrong decisions in the final third. He needs a break from the team definitely however if Benteke is out and with Tonev's lack of form, that isnt happening anytime soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't understand I thought he was good today particularly in the first half where he was a constant threat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Con Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 Weimann was good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillanousOne Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 (edited) I think he gets criticism because he creates so many scoring opportunities but hasn't scored any of them - this season his finishing hasn't been clinical, but as long as he keeps making those chances or creating chances for others it's hard to drop him. Few players make as many chances as he does. I think Tonev and Helenius will come into the picture more and more and maybe then we can reassess what Weimann is or isn't doing. my only criticism is he tends to vanish for large periods but probably because he can't keep his incredible work rate up for 90mins.
