bose Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 Yeah he didn't seem his usual self. But still got an assist, so we can't complain! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoughboroughLion Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 I wonder whether it was anything to do with the knock on the back of his head. He was nursing some Vaseline on it and maybe didn't feel right. That combined with a midweek fixture might have just made him feel a bit under the weather Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smetrov Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 Ive always feared he was getting by on workrate - his form dipped at the end of last season - and wasn't great yesterday. I wonder if he is playing a little to wide ? Anyway as long as we keep winning ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrentVilla Posted August 18, 2013 Moderator Share Posted August 18, 2013 I simply love Weimann and love watching him play, such an important member of our team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magnkarl Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 As long as he keeps making assists we shouldn't complain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrentVilla Posted August 18, 2013 Moderator Share Posted August 18, 2013 Even if he isn't making direct assists his work rate and movement still make him a really important player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonoridge91 Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 To be fair to him for a pretty poor game by his account he still put Benteke through on goal which Bentekkers could of done better with and provided the assist for Luna. Worked hard and got stuck in as well as usual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isa Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 I'm concerned that he seems to have lost his composure in front of goal which was probably his greatest attribute. I trace it back to the Everton game when he skied a great chance to make it 3-1. Which was then followed up by perhaps the miss of the season against West Ham. Having said that I was impressed with his assist and the ball played into Benteke. Both delightful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 Looking back I wonder if Gabby flying through the air and being on the ground blocking a part of the goal put him off. He should've got it on target though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KHV Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 Even if he isn't making direct assists his work rate and movement still make him a really important player. If he is having a crappy game his pace and direct running still makes defences worry. Wiemann and gabby both pose this threat which is why they are always dangerous.

Oaks Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 Even if he isn't making direct assists his work rate and movement still make him a really important player. That's a very important point. He worked tirelessly and maybe he didn't get anywhere in terms of attacking he supported the midfield well. Lets not forget a great assist, he broke he played the perfect ball to Luna, and he also got Kachelney (spelling like I give a f..) to walk. Not his best day, but he was still influential.

roadoftrinity Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 It's unlikely we will get a game when all three of Weiman, Benteke and Agbonlahor are at the very top of their game. If that does happen someone is going to get a spanking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

479Villan Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 I thought he got worn out last year and it affected his play; hoping the depth and another year experience will favor him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope his stamina has improved now. He used to tire quite badly at times last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avfc1982am Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 Kepping the front 3 fit is key this year I feel especially Gabby and I think it was no coincedence that when he came back from injury at the end of last season we started scoring goals again. Both him and Weimenn make so much room for Benteke when they burst forward at pace. Hopefully the signings of Tonev and Bacuna take some of the pressure of them both though and allow more rotation keeping them fresher. Still slightly concerned however about the CM position and when we come up against a physically stronger midfield Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dudevillaisnice Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Early days so far, but do y'all think he has performed well enough so far? hmm. I really had wished he took one of his chances to be honest.. I think he'll get goals this season though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
