Andreas Weimann

[olaftab]

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

His goals were great but his all round performance was awful. 
Great finish for the first though.

Yes Gerd Muller was a bit like that!

[frank]

He's looked pretty good for a while now, all that was missing was a goal (or two), it will do wonders for his confidence, and if he can couple good all round play, with a few goals, then it will make it that much harder for the manager to drop him. happy for the lad, i remember him barely being on the pitch in the europa league a few years ago in (austria wasn't it?) and him getting a really bad injury and being stretchered off.

That was a shameful incident in Vienna. He was playing at his home club, his family were in the crowd, and he got booed and jeered at when he was carried off injured. Rapid later apologised.

I've been very impressed by him in the last 3 games. He's not a natural winger, any more than Gabby is, though they're both fast, provide width and frighten defenders. Importantly, they're very effective when they move into the centre, and we saw that particularly with Weimann on Saturday. The present system, with Benteke the target man and Ireland just behind, allows that sort of flexibility.

I wouldn't want to see him in a 4-4-2. The major reason we haven't been overrun in the last two games is that our formation allows us to switch from 4-3-3 when attacking, to 4-5-1 when defending.

Apart from Gabby, who doesn't seem to have much clue what to do when defending on the wing.

Not ball watching would be a good start.

I don't know he was still dropping back into midfield a fair bit.

it may just be me, but he has something of Tommy Johnson about him. Although I can't quite put my finger on it.

its before my time but didn't Gary Lineker have a case of the runs in an England match once?

Weimann has been unlucky not to have scored more goals than he has so far this season. He'll keep his place for a while because he deserves to but eventually we might be better off with a proper wide midfielder to give us a bit more balance and balls into the box.

Weimann has superb movement and creates space, he will be a perfect foil for benteke and I think he will take great confidence from last week, I'm delighted for him.

Agreed, eastie.

[The Left Side]

I think Saturday's game really showed PL how important Weimann can be for us.

[Ron Manager]

Still think hes another David Geddis. However Geddis managed a fair return of goals when he was with us without exceptional talent.

Weimann is still raw though and will improve , I think he will be a lot better than Geddis was , although I'm not knocking Geddis as his goals against blues in our title winning season will always be fondly remembered.

[Salsa Party Animal]

Would you prefer to see a line up with someone similar to Ashley Young and Benteke and Weimann or Ashley Young, Agbonlahor and Benteke

Just asking. I think he is doing a great job
