GrahamC Posted August 17, 2022 Report Share Posted August 17, 2022 Loved how he was straight in there snapping at Freeman after the Mark Sykes’ incident. Another incredible display last night, no idea how many kilometres he must cover in a game & a brilliant assist. All time great for me. 4 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grifty Posted August 17, 2022 Report Share Posted August 17, 2022 I always thought the "We all dream of a team of Andi Weimann's" would work well for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Posted August 17, 2022 Report Share Posted August 17, 2022 Actually thought that was one of his quieter games but still got the assist for the second goal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He just runs around pointing a lot!!! seriously the big difference is Nigel Pearson. The issue really was that Weimann made runs that were routinely not picked out. Pearson unlike his predecessors has got players to look and find the guy and the rest speaks for itself. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazred Posted August 17, 2022 Report Share Posted August 17, 2022 I think he's probably a better player now than he's even been. Really mastered his own game. Covers so much ground and contributes no matter what's asked of him. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having watched almost identical years as you Graham , I didn’t think I had ‘favourite players’ anymore , and struggling to think of one I regarded that way for many years But this bloke, definitely right up there in my all time favourite players to have represented us. Much more than his abilities , it’s his attitude and professionalism- I’m yet to see an appearance where he hasn’t ‘bust a gut’ In terms of respecting a player he really is in the medals at City in my lifetime , someone only like Tom Ritchie can compete People salivate over JET or Jacki and even describe them as some sort of legend...... Give me the professional Andi Weimann every day of the week , and some Said it before , in the days of ridiculous wages , he’s one of ours I don’t begrudge a penny 11 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither ever came off the pitch without giving everything they have. There was a short spell after the sending off where Nige switched him to RWB, as usual no drama, he just did it. Imagine some of the prima donnas we have had doing that if they were our top scorer. Don’t start me on Jacki, dear oh dear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems to have a really good relationship with the young players and fun banter to Antoine , Conway and Scott have all talked about him - his influence and example to them I would suggest has been quite significant (Chris Martin & Nahki too tbf) Unbelievable that last season was post a nasty ACL injury , especially for a player who relies on pace ,running and intensity as a significant part of his game - What an inspiration for Ayman for example I know our budget is tight but I’d like to see him offered a wage increase and another year on his contract as a recognition of what he’s done post ACL, 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep I think this is a huge part of why Weimann has been so much effective, his finishing has got better but a lot of the time previously people just weren't noticing how he plays. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
underhanded Posted August 17, 2022 Report Share Posted August 17, 2022 Crazy to watch his recovery runs - they're explosive, 100% sprints....every...single...time. Never labouring, never jogging.

BUTOR Posted August 17, 2022 Report Share Posted August 17, 2022 He actually seems to be improving season on season. He looks more complete (better passer, receiver and distributor of the ball) than he did even last campaign. Confidence is at an all time high.

He's one of the fittest footballers I've seen at Champ level 100%, there was one just before he was hooked that those around me were discussing, it was around the 85th minute, he went on a run down the right, thought he was fouled & when Luton regained possession he ran back with an intensity it is hard to believe. I know his parents were both sportspeople but he’s a machine, insane levels of fitness. 1 hour ago, Red Army 75 said: The pass/cross for TC goal last night was sublime.

There's Barry Manilow's "Mandy" (Oh Mandy, you came and you signed without asking, and we cut half yer wages. Oh Mandy, you run up and down without stopping, and we want you to stay. oh Andy, you scored and you stopped us from shaking .... ) I can see that being adapted quite easily. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
