REDOXO Posted October 3, 2020 Report Share Posted October 3, 2020 The weekly Andi Weimann thread. Good to see some are forcing themselves to actually give the guy credit. The difference is that playing in the middle driving us forward you see more of him, thus he’s easier to appreciate The bloke is immense with the energy of a horse. A move like LJs with young BOBBY. Career changing for that kid, opinion changing for Some here on Weimann Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ProfitInMyPocket Posted October 3, 2020 Report Share Posted October 3, 2020 Does seem to be better away from home where we have less time on the ball and i think he plays better when he doesn't have much time to think and plays on instinct and one or two touch plays. I think when we are the home side and have to break teams down he is found lacking in the midfield role. I swear every goal he has scored for us has been a first or second time finish. Would be interesting to see I think. Does seem to dawdle a fair bit and run into alleys far too often when we have more of the ball but he played well today.

hertsexile Posted October 3, 2020 Report Share Posted October 3, 2020 Not sure why everyone gives. Andi a hard time always gives 100%. Never gives up. Has scored more goals for city than any club he has played for! Have seen him called a road runner etc. He deserves his place in the team always gives an outlet. Excellent today.

054123 Posted October 3, 2020 Report Share Posted October 3, 2020 Him and Bakinson , overall, played well today. Bakinson’s challenge is to cut out the lazy mistakes, Weimann’s challenge is to not disappear for periods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolman_Stand Posted October 3, 2020 Report Share Posted October 3, 2020 Struggling to think of a reason to not play him in midfield anymore, he was excellent today. The box of 4 strikers we play in midfield / attack is quite unique and is proving very effective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steviestevieneville Posted October 3, 2020 Report Share Posted October 3, 2020 1 hour ago, JonDolman said: Yep. He was very very good in his running around and counter attacking. Not so good in his defensive play like Pato second half. I think one of him and Pato (likely Pato) will be dropped once Joe Williams is back 100% He actually broke up quite a few attacks , especially in the right back position . Then chased his own clearances Down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steveybadger Posted October 3, 2020 Report Share Posted October 3, 2020 I can no longer think of many reasons why AW should not start in midfield. He is has proven to be terrific bombing into the box late and his work rate has never been in question. This Plus Pato getting on the ball much more by playing deeper and the emergence of Tyreeq has turned our midfield from our weakest area into possibly our strongest?

You would imagine its a nightmare for a back four to defend against as there is a continual overload into your penalty box from four players that are all goalthreats. The downside of our formation was exposed a bit today with how many crosses Forest were able to get into our box when playing with full backs and wingers.

However, what an unbelievable performance from Wiemann. Any youngster watching trying to improve their game should look at that work rate. He is a vital cog in this exciting team COYR Yep, spot on about Weimann .... any comment @redordead1 or @SuperRed ??? - the little tinkers who aren’t capable of putting into words why they don’t rate Weimann, they just mess around with the emojis to put down any posts praising him ... Weimann has undoubted premier league pedigree, he has performed admirably at the highest level of English football, we are lucky to have him .... yet some muppets still subscribe to the “he just runs around a lot” nonsense - best footballer at our club ...
