MessiWillSignForVilla Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 I like how one of his first touches was a pass and he immediately started sprinting up the pitch. It happens too many times that our midfielders pass the ball and just stand there waiting for a return ball, should add a bit of attacking impetus to our midfield.

Demitri_C Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 did a fantasyic tackle late on in the game, you sure he is a winger?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theboyangel Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 I expect he'll definately start in the League Cup next week and have another cameo against Liverpool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cliffy Biro Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 I suspect we'll see more attacking teams including him when we arent playing away to top4 teams, probably easing them all in too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thunderball Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Won't start against the 'pool, but will pay a big part - we need to attack teams at home, our home form is verging on poor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big_John_10 Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 I'd drop weimman for him on Saturday. Give him a chance and weimman a rest and a little kick up the arse. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fightoffyour Posted August 22, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted August 22, 2013 our home form is verging on poor. we haven't played at home yet...* except Malaga in pre-season, which we won. *obviously you mean from last season, but is that really relevant?

We've been poor at home for longer than I care to remember, not just last season, we now have the players to not play counter attack football every game. If we want to improve we need to add another dimension to our style, hopefully Saturday may show that, although Liverpool will surely be on the front foot as they have ambitions themselves.

mikeyp102 Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 I'd drop weimman for him on Saturday. Give him a chance and weimman a rest and a little kick up the arse. Yep my thoughts as well, Liverpool push on from the back, Tonev's pace may mean he gets in behind Enrique and could really cause damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feidhlim Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Weimann has good defensive qualities too - I think Lambert will play him against a strong Liverpool squad. Though our lack of rotation frustrates me, it's a risk breaking up our front three in a match we will be doing well to win Lets give all the newbies a run in the Carling Cup.

BOF Posted August 22, 2013 Moderator Share Posted August 22, 2013 I remember reading that Liverpool were so impressed with Weimann's performance, movement, intelligence, not to mention the goal against them last season in the 3-1 win that they were seriously considering bidding for him in the summer particularly if we'd ended up going down. I don't think there's any chance of Tonev replacing him for that of all games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think there's any chance of Tonev replacing him for that of all games. But Tonev offers pace , Shooting and some dribblings ! Different kind of players which only could make the team stronger and change the way of playing .. Add to that he's unknown quality to us nevermind other teams ! I'm not sure if Lambert might change him .. But I'm really hoping to see him on the wing .. He could shoot and play with both legs .. maybe only Gabby who could do that and not perfectly !

Very unlucky not to score yesterday and tracks back brilliantly. Defenders hate him. His movement and attitude is class. Got to keep the same team IMO. If it aint broke, dont fix it.

P3te Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Wiemann has looked well off his best form to be honest, but I wouldn't drop him yet given the standard of opposition he's been up against. Given him the Liverpool and Rotherham games before benching him, a goal will likely spark him into action, and he might well get it at the weekend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big_John_10 Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Weimman has looked pretty poor so far. Work rate is brilliant but has lacked quality and missed two fantastic chances to score. He's a key player for us but I don't think it would hurt to rest him after 2 games where he's run himself into the ground and give him a little reminder he has some competition this year.
