Sunderland v Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

Fortune favours the brave and Lambo is braver than ****

Considering making this my signature on here.

You are just a little  teaser you ...this is the second time you have flirted with me this way!

[Summers]

Sunderland looked at times like they were trying to walk the ball into the net, tippy tappy style. We used to do that.

Did we? I thought we were counter quickly down the channels with as few passes as possible 

Sounds right. Pass to a winger. Winger run, run, run, run, cross.

How sharp did Wiemann look at times? Only seen the highlights but people who watched it there or on streams should we start him more often?
Goals on Sunday showed the final whistle, showed how much it meant to the players, we looked like a team and loved the boo's at the end

Willing but a bot one dimensional if you ask me. He hasn't got the pace to do the job asked of him but I'm not criticising after a win. thought Bannan was the best player on the pitch and was at the centre of everything that we did. Shout out for Clark also who I thought had a great game and spent most of it marking/dealing with the constant high-balls into fletcher.

Great last game for me to go to before flying back to Nigeria next weekend. I'm enjoying this weekend and will enjoy the rest of the week now.

Agreed with this, I am a Weimann booster but he was very much a runner yesterday and not much more. But boy did he run, he was just knackered by he time he was subbed. It is why incidentally he shot after the breakway move didnt get buried, he had literally run the pitch to get on the end of it.

With a bit of luck Weimann could have scored a couple against Swindon and had chances yesterday and against Norwich (in the 10 minutes he had on the pitch). I'm not convinced that out wide is the best position for him, but he's strong and fast and offers more of a threat than Albrighton.  Perhaps he tends to shoot too early and needs a goal to give him a bit more composure.

[ktvillan]

Weimann's movement and effort were very good, which is usual for him.  I think he's playing it a bit too safe with his shots which seem to find the keeper too easily.  If he takes a bit more of a chance and goes for the corners a bit, or curls them a bit, I think he'll start scoring.  Anyway it's good to have at least one player trying to have a pop from the edge of the box or just outside it.  We don;t try that nearly enough.   

[Irish villain]

That Southampton game really irritates me. If they hadn't beaten us they would be so far adrift now (on either one or two points) that they would be virtually down already whereas we would have at least ten points going into this tough run.

Hmm, I didn't see the game, but from your descriptions it sounds like Weimann did a Holman job. But when out wide Brett doesn't seem to get into those goalscoring positions for himself like Andy did yesterday and against Swindon, suggesting his attacking instinct might give him the edge over Holman.

As an aside, is there any reason to shunt this thread away from Heroes discussion so quickly? If we have a game on Sat it's likely the match is going to be discussed fairly regularly until early the following week. Just a suggestion.

I have watched the whole game and was very impressed by Bannan and Westwood. Both had very good games.
Vlaar, Lowton (this kid's going to get better and better) and Benteke all played very well.

[Dave Cooper please]

Spoke to a Slumberland supporting mate last night who said that Westwood was outstanding.
