Andreas Weimann

[pauliewalnuts]

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.

That's happened to you, s_h?

It's all doom and gloom, the players are all shit these days.

The league doesn't lie. We've been awful this season.

The only downside to playing Weimann is that we lose a bit of width but overall he's been good. His first goal on saturday was a great finish.

We haven't been universally awful.

True, and even if we had, it doesn't mean all the players are shit.

SH is on a massive anti Lerner project since the summer.  I don't get it.

Weimann is doing okay but not sure how much further he will progress. Still he's young. What he ahsn't got is bags of pace which has the potential to hold him back. He's got okay pace but nothing else.

[paul_e]

I like Weimann, he gets himself into good positions, works his socks off, and is a decent finisher.  I think he's a strong squad member, probably not ready to start every week but gives us a lot of positives.  His first on Saturday was as clean a strike as you'll see, loads of power so it beat De Gea for pace but he did really well to control it and keep it under the bar.

[andyh]

Weimann could be a really good player. I just hope he improves on his awareness of others around him. There was one particular occassion on Saturday before we scored the first, when he broke through and had both Gabby And Benteke in great positions either side of him, but he chose to blast it high and wide. Its not the first time he's made that sort of choice.
Its only minor though and if he improves that side of his game he and Villa will be better for it.

Ireland was clean through with Weimann at one point and he ran it into a defender without even looking up. I was furious.

Didn't look up?  United intercepted his pass to Ireland, he might have played it earlier but he was well aware of his prescence.

Either way, he held onto the ball for way too long. The pass was screaming to be played earlier. He'll learn.

That's the problem we have.  The young ones are having to learn now, altogether, instead of having had previous experience by either having odd games at VP or out on loan.  There has been no pathway set up to bring these youngsters through from the academy and gently blood them.

[Brian Taylor]

It is great to have players we can talk positively about rather than discussing the limitations.
Benteke. Weimann, Vlaar will go down in the book of Villa along with Gabby. I am looking to the future.
The way Benteke ManU backs inside out made me proud.  Weimanns goals were stunning!

That incident did make him look inadequate at this level. He completely fucked it up.

Hopefully it was just a mentality / over awed thing. His movement in and around the box is excellent
