Bunnski Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Didn't look like he was playing a striker role today, he was popping up all over the place. He basically played the same role he normally does but having Gil in there with him is what made all the difference today Imo. Him and andi showed how crap Gabby has been and we can't afford to play both gabby and Benteke on current form 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRO Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 This play down the middle v play out wide tickles me. If you are a postman you have to deliver letters If you are a striker at football you have to deliver goals....if you don't and get lucky, you will still keep your place and play out wide, particularly if you are offering other things, in essence the manager has doubts about leaving you out. You have to do what it says on the tin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are expecting me to fall over my bootlaces in ecstatic applause..think again. I am as pleased as the next fan with the win, but I want to see a turning of the tide....I will wait and see, but Hey, a potential Banana skin avoided.

TRO Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 I think Andi Weimann has a lot of catching up to do....But hey a good start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sexbelowsound Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Andi's movement today made a mockery of Benteke's. Great finish as well. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samjp26 Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 (edited) As I've said before and I'll say again, no matter where his average position is on the pitch, he is meant to be a striker and he is meant to score goals. When he is seemingly played out wide, he still gets down the middle sometimes and he still gets chances. He gets a lot of chances and most of the time he doesn't take them, I stand by that statement. However, he looked good today and I agree that Gil seems to click with him somewhat, hopefully that continues and hopefully Andi can bag a few more goals - regardless of what his average position on the pitch is.

NurembergVillan Posted January 25, 2015 Moderator Share Posted January 25, 2015 I think movement has always been something Andi offers, but until we signed Gil there was nobody willing to play the clever pass and find him in space. Not one other player regularly looks to dissect the opposition midfield. Now we do I think we'll see more of Weimann. Quality finish today too.

R.Bear Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Good finish. And the usual 100% industry we've come to expect from him. He can't be relied upon for goals but with everyone struggling to find the net, they're even more vital. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When he's out wide he's always knackered from all the chasing back he does though so when a chance does present he's less likely to take it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVTuco Posted January 25, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted January 25, 2015 (edited) Andi has done well with Benteke, and now with Gil. Him and Gabby don't work at all. Someone said that Andi has the instincts of a goal scorer, it's when he has time to think that he struggles. I thought that was well put, it's happened so many times when he crosses. And then he scores beauties like today. A goal of a goal scorer. Edited January 26, 2015 by AVTuco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lexicon Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 It showed that he needs to play as a striker in a front 2 - he can do a job there. It's when he's lumped out on the wing that he's very ineffective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
