old_eastender Posted August 28, 2021 Report Share Posted August 28, 2021 He simply has to be played Central, that's where he can be so effective. My concern is if we sign a loan striker to play with Martin, Weimann gets asked to play wide, where he often is quite poor. I've said before he is a poor option when asked to play wide.

Simon bristol Posted August 28, 2021 Report Share Posted August 28, 2021 Weimanns hard running and know how is essential for us, we saw when he was injured that we miss him. The volley was a hell Of a hit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mozo Posted August 28, 2021 Report Share Posted August 28, 2021 I've criticised his end product but besides the Swansea game he has delivered big time (good post man then!) this season. Long may it continue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BS4 on Tour... Posted August 28, 2021 Report Share Posted August 28, 2021 As I’ve continually said since he arrived at our club - he’s the best footballer at Bristol City - yet another fantastic performance today and all this after he has come back from a nasty long-term injury ... he’s the ultimate bass player - you don’t always notice how valuable their contribution is until they aren’t there ... the other 10 players are the bricks, Weimann is the cement ...

ProfitInMyPocket Posted August 29, 2021 Report Share Posted August 29, 2021 Did well for the two finishes today and plenty of energy still in the legs, he suits away from home where he doesn't have much time to think, need to see him do more in home games and being more of an impact when we have more of the ball. Think only 7 of his 25 goals for us have been at Ashton Gate. Big difference there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2015 Posted August 29, 2021 Report Share Posted August 29, 2021 I am unsure LJ knew how to use Weimann properly sometimes but first 5 games this season under NP Weimann looks one of the most dangerous players in the League. Brilliant and he has provided us with some fantastic moments away from home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose he might be better when fully match fit, but we need someone that can score goals. But seriously, for those posters saying he's ineffective at home, did you really not notice us get even worse without him? Did you watch the matches, or form your opinion from the knockers on here?

Bristol Oil Services Posted August 29, 2021 Report Share Posted August 29, 2021 There are games, though, where "all he does is run around," pretty much, where his use of the ball is very ordinary. Happily, yesterday wasn't one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Rollason Posted August 29, 2021 Report Share Posted August 29, 2021 19 hours ago, Mr Popodopolous said: When fit, I've never understood the flak he has got in recent times. Good signing, absolutely- goals, assists, energy in particular pressing- versatility, which has been useful for LJ especially but not so much for Weimann himself- as in he can 'do a job' as a winger but it's by no means his favoured position! Think also could be useful at times wide right in a 4-3-3 but never a winger, even if he can help the team at times. I remember his first season, all the great runs he made, especially before Christmas- happened often, undetected by our side but that was kinda on the midfield or how we set up, not him so much. Also had multiple goals wrongly disallowed for offside. This a hundred times. I don't go to games much anymore but I happened to catch one when he'd just signed for us. His movement was exceptionnel and we just weren't on his wavelength. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shelts Posted August 29, 2021 Report Share Posted August 29, 2021 The fittest player I’ve ever seen wear our shirt. Comeback from an horrendous injury and boy we missed him last season , his energy and goals. can he get 20 league goals … I think so . In that clip it was lovely to see the boss clapping the away support and fist punching !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonBristolian Posted August 29, 2021 Report Share Posted August 29, 2021 The only time I have felt Weimann was consistently not playing well was in LJ’s last few games after the COVID restart. But, even then, I think the predominant issue was more him needing a rest than anything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the ‘not being on his wavelength’ is a key point. Many of our players were not adaptable and had not played at a higher level. I think many that under-rated him did so because he did not have the right players around him. Now he has King, James and Martin around him that bring out the best of him. Martin with extra fitness is also benefiting likewise as are the young ones. This is the ‘Pearson effect’ beginning to emerge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Posted August 29, 2021 Report Share Posted August 29, 2021 7 hours ago, JonDolman said: I think the only big difference in him is Pearson knows how to get the best out of him. To be fair Holden had him playing very well too at the start of last season. It was frustrating watching Weimann under LJ though. My problem with him has always been his scoring record not being great but can't argue with what he is doing so far this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bris Red Posted August 29, 2021 Report Share Posted August 29, 2021 Its been said time and time again but you play him through the middle and he can be devastating at this level. Call me old fashioned but AW is all i ask in a pro footballer, somebody who yes may not be the most technically gifted or flashy in his play but someone who will run himself into the ground for 90 mins and give his all for the team. Win lose or draw aslong as everyone has the same commitment as Andi then as a paying fan i go home happy to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davefevs Posted August 29, 2021 Report Share Posted August 29, 2021 Just been watching the game back. The goal was part of an overall move, where Martin got the ball and almost reversed a pass into the unrushing Pring, who was jostled out the way (penalty shouts but wasn’t imho). Martin hares after the covering defender and the ball gets cleared to the h-w line where Atkinson on the touch line muscles Giles off the ball and heads infield. Baker flicks it over the pressing defender….and there in the left-half of the pitch is Weimann, 40 yards from goal…who hits a crisp pass on the bounce infield to James by the centre-circle. Weimann then goes off to find Martin. James out to Vyner….and that’s where my clip above begins. Last season, City don’t recycle an attacking possession when Pring doesn’t get on the end of it. This season we are doing it more and more and getting multiple phases of attack. It’s a big difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suspect a lot of defences will be worried by a Martin/Weimann combination, if nothing else they know they’ll get battered by Martin and run ragged by Weimann. That’s a decent combination for others in the team to exploit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
