Whilst I rate Weimann, on Saturday he was one piece of dodgy keeping away from being berated by the travelling hoards for not passing the ball

what a ludicrous stetaement. he hit it early and caught the keeper not setting himself properly. a cracking goal from  a player working his bollocks off for the team!

I like Weimann a lot, he's a really good kid, he looks like he gives a shit and has been on of our plus points this season. I do think sometimes  though that playing him weakens our midfield a little, especially away from home.

I did'nt say he should'nt be. I'm just suggesting that playing the extra attacker leaves us short in the middle of the park.

It's quite amazing that PL has been playing such an 'open' system, given our inability to keep a clean sheet. I like the idea of playing GA and AW  to support Benteke, to keep the opposition on the back foot, but I'd prefer a three-man MF of Delph, Westie and ANother (Cilla? or Herd when fit) to keep it tighter.

On topic: I think Weimann has been excellent this season and should prove even better next; wherever he is.

I like the 4-2-3-1 formation , i think its the way to go, especially now we need wins - westwood and delph look better than westwood and bannan .

The problem is sylla should have come on and not dawkins - when ahead by all means tighten things up and bring on the extra midfielder- no idea what kea brings to the team  at all.

Have we actually played 4-4-2 with Weimann and Benteke up front since the second half against Swansea? Not sure, if we have I can't remember it.

In that second half we defended fairly stoutly with two Hodgson-esque banks of four, and left it to Benteke and Weimann to try and create something when they could - which they did regularly. If we are going to battle our way to a few points somewhere then this might be a decent option, instead of the incredibly open formation we are playing at the moment.

Back on topic - i think weimanns goals could be crucial in our survival hopes- he is not afraid to have a crack and takes up good positions , he could have a huge part to play.

There's some story flying round one or two media outlets (Daily Mail and Telegraph) suggesting that he's turned down a new deal for now. It may well be bollocks before anyone get's cross but i thought i'd mention it as it might be in a couple of papers tomorrow.

If true I'd wager he's either waiting to see whether we stay up or he's rejecting as a method of getting more money. I don't blame him either way.
