Andreas Weimann

Before he scored I thought it was one of his worst games for us. Hopefully scoring a couple will be give him even more self belief as there is some decent potential there. Barring injuries i'd be keeping this midfield and attack as our starting 11 now.

Front three of him, Benteke and Gabby reminds me of when we started with MON and he played Gabby and Luke Moore either side of JPA. That worked well for us and I think this one can aswell as there's plenty of pace and movement there particularly as we hardly have any wide players in our squad.

If he puts that header into the ground or either side of the keeper; in fact anywhere, then he bags a hatrick.

A sublime strike for the first.

Totally agree with PWS, I thought he was a bit of a headless chicken until the 45th minute, running into dead ends and not lifting his head when on the ball. However he more than made up for it with the goals. If only he'd buried that header at 2-2.

I agree to an extent - I don't think Weimann is good at holding onto the ball when he's facing our defenders. Evra put him under pressure and he lost the ball a few times. Also he seemed to get caught in two minds when we had the 3 on 2 break away,

That said his awareness is good, and his positional play is excellent, so he managed not to get isolated too often. He seems to play well with Ireland as well, and probably deserved to score earlier in the season. I'm not sure whether his best position is as a second striker or a wide attacker, but in this formation he is playing well at the moment.

He knows how to finish.

Blimey, talk about seeing things differently.  I thought he was excellent, and capped a good first half with a brilliant goal.

He seems to bulldoze his way through players. He is a really strong lad and a hard worker to boot. He is bringing a good balance to the side.

I bet Gabby is relieved that shot went over his head. Mind you, might have knocked some sense into him if he hadn't ducked*

*Only joking Gabby, but it was such a chance even Heskey would have dipped his bread.

He was outstanding, he is like Holman but with skill and goals in him.

We were brilliant today. As soon as Dunne comes in for Dunne we are laughing

Yeah, that'll er...show 'em.

The first goal was very good, I thought as soon as he hit it it was creeping over the bar but great finish to beat De Gea when the shot was pretty central.

Pretty much everytime he's played this season he's been good. Just goals that have been missing from his game until tonight.

Dunne- so big they named him twice

[Michel Sibble]

Did anyone hear him on talkSHITE with Stan?

Sounds like a Geordie.

Can't agree with that. He kept on losing the ball and wasted a glorious opportunity when we had that 3 on 2. Much better off the ball and finishing than on it for me. So not sure he'll retain that position for too long. But his movement and intelligence are excellent
