AntrimBlack Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 I like him. I hope we stick with him. I am confident he will improve. And how can anyone think he is lazy, that is an accusation that cannot be levelled against him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tubby Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Doesn't lift his head up and has wasted many an opportunity this season and last to play someone in when in front of goal. Regardless of how hard he works he hasn't got the football brain for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually I would say this season he hasn't put half as much effort in a last yr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roonst83 Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 I said after the Arsenal game that Weimann looked tired and 'leggy' throughout - and he hasn't improved since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 The truth is if our 'attacking threat' in a post Benteke world is built around Weimann and Gabby we have a serious problem. On paper I rate them both. The reality is neither has delivered this season and you wonder if they ever will. Too bigger contracts and too little commitment IMO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's fair comment TRO. I do have sympathy for Weimann and I think he will come good despite my reticence above. I have a much bigger issue with Gabby who, as you say, is no leader but is happy to deliver substandard performances for £60k per week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swerbs Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 Hopefully the off season will help him a bit and will be performing better next season, if not, get rid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abdulaziz1 Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 I would only keep him as a squad player , and upfront or behind the striker , never a winger ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samjp26 Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 Running around a lot is great, but he needs to put the ball in the net. So many times this season he has either messed up chances or not been in the right position to take a chance. When did he last score? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smetrov Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 Looked poor towards the tail end of last season if the truth be known - we just have to hope the law of averages kicks in and he has a good game Saturday. But looks a very sub standard player to me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasoncb Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 Whilst him and gabby have been poor our style doesn't work well with them. They are hardly going to be competitive with hoof balls and crosses all day long. Start getting the defence and midfield to play football on the ground more and you would see a better return from Weimann and gabby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abdulaziz1 Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 Putting Weimann in the same arguement with Gabby is injustice ! Gabby is a match winner on his day .. Weimann could be useful on his day .. Atleast we know that Gabby is good with spaces .. Against Top teams or Away games , While Weimann is not that fast nor have skills , Even his finishing is getting bad with a horrible decision making ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree, back end of last season we played them as wide strikers, who made runs inside and threatened. They were played in down the channels a lot more and our attack looked really really good. Boded well for this year, al that's evaporated for a number of reasons, but just calling them shit isn't really the truth or an explanation of what's happened since then.

PussEKatt Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 With 4 goals in over 30 games I would be ashamed to call myself a striker. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFCRAMTIN Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 Both Weimann and Gabbys first touch is just catastrophic.. My 6 years old cousin has a better first touch then them.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
