southvillekiddy Posted January 19, 2019 Report Share Posted January 19, 2019 Really glad we have him, someone who sets a high level ethos for the team both by running his guts out and being a quality footballer. His shot in the first half typifies him. It's saved and instead of wasting time and letting the momentum drop by doing the "Aren't I wonderful and what cruel luck that it didn't go in " histrionics, he immediately fights like **** to get the ball again when it comes back out. Someone said already in the ratings thread : With Palmer arriving at City , Andy has someone in the team who can read his movements and has the spark to find him when he gets into the dangerous positions he's been taking up all season. Result : a brilliantly-worked team goal today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think he has now gone 22 appearances without scoring. Agree though, that with Palmer always looking for the forward ball we could see some great link up play with Wiemann's movement. This is assuming LJ starts to pick Palmer ahead of Pato! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is assuming LJ starts to pick Palmer ahead of Pato! Maybe it's more to do with a lack of creativity and vision in midfield players who can't see his runs? The Palmer-Weimann link reminds me of Tomlin and Kodjia I think it was. Kodjia stopped getting caught offside so much when we had someone in the team with the vision to know when to release him. With Palmer in the team I fully expect Weimann to become a much more important and effective aspect of our attack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Despite his extremely barren run in the goals front, he is definitely an asset & a quality footballer which a fantastic work ethic. When the efforts at goal do start going in again, then great. But until then, he still offers plenty to justify his selection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a striker, the best run you’ll make is the first one you make, not the second or third when the winger / midfielder has checked back once or twice. Pato did that on one occasion in the second half, and I was so angry, we had players hitting the box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ivorguy Posted January 19, 2019 Report Share Posted January 19, 2019 It has often been the same with City that a really talented footballer is left isolated by the lack of vision of those around him Jacki and Chris Crowe immediately come to mind Now we have Palmer we are beginning to gel at a higher level of skill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As SVK says above, no histrionics no poor me just get and do it again. Today he played like a man possessed as he was, for a while, unmercifully booed for his FLDC...links, although he did play for them before the name change. Exactly ZE. He made run after run that was not spotted by Fammy in particular and others. Intro the Wife Shagging machine that is Kasey Palmer and Bang we have found him and Fammy is in.... How this bloke gets shit on here from a few is completely beyond me...Utter Class Great Buy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobBobSuperBob Posted January 19, 2019 Report Share Posted January 19, 2019 Quite brilliant run to attract a (brilliant) ball from Palmer Just seen it again - Josh’s part was decent too - head up , read the play , astutely and neat into KPs feet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northern Red Posted January 19, 2019 Report Share Posted January 19, 2019 I really like him. He obviously badly needs a goal, but he's a very clever, unselfish player who works his nuts off and at times you can sense his frustration when the rest of them aren't on his wavelength, not picking out his runs etc. As noted, hopefully the arrival of Palmer will help him.

AppyDAZE Posted January 19, 2019 Report Share Posted January 19, 2019 Clever not to shoot and give it to a guy who has a good conversion rate. No knock intended, just good play by Andi W.

Paterson , at times does what Ryan Kent did last year, slows the attack down by spinning, cutting back twice then looking. By which time the runs have stopped and everyones checked back, plus the defence is in place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BS4 on Tour... Posted January 20, 2019 Report Share Posted January 20, 2019 We’ve got a top footballer on our hands with Weimann....very intelligent, bags of energy makes runs that lesser players fail to capitalise on....early in this season he linked up well with Pack and notched a few goals...then Fammy came back into the side and disrupted Weimann’s momentum and rhythm as the Austrian international was thrust out wide to accommodate Diedhiou...but today he showed how his runs can be found by a bit of quality - ie that provided by Palmer - long may it continue....the calls to drop Weimann on here recently were just those by people who don’t really get it and should be ignored....

Shtanley Posted January 20, 2019 Report Share Posted January 20, 2019 He's been making excellent runs constantly all season, glad we're finally finding him on a regular basis. He should've had a goal and an assist today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparkz 76 Posted January 20, 2019 Report Share Posted January 20, 2019 It’s not all about him scoring which a lot of fans shoot him down for he finds pockets of space and exploits them. Now with Kasey at the club not sure we can upgrade much more this season maybe a striker to share the load for Fammy like LJ has stated in post match Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
