Dimmu Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 If we played with two strikers, IMO Weimann should be another. But Nugent fits better to our style at the moment. And we really haven't seen what Jerome can offer yet. After saying that, he could do the job in the games when we drop very deep. He has some similarities to Vardy.

His work rate is fantastic and he was our most threating player all night and let's be fair to the guy , he's not a winger, I know he's not the most technically gifted player we have in our squad but with Nugent's lack off form and Jerome ... well .... We will leave that untill another day. Personally Weimann in front of Palmer Lawrence and Vydra could work for me. NO NO NO ...... he happens to have scored a couple of goals lately but his strike rate is awful. His main asset is speed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Square pegs round holes all over again. I totally get that and its not ideal in some cases. However Baird is a seasoned pro and he can play there for sure. I'm 99% certain he's turned out at LB for us before? It's when you start shoving Keogh to RB for example when its a bit extreme. I actually think we are starting to need Baird on the field for his set pieces too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looked close on several occasions getting something out of them. Olsson is seasoned too, think he’s getting a tad undeserved flack for me. Think middle of the park is my main concern.

Hucknall Ram Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 Not for me, his overall finishing and composure is to me the areas that are lacking in his game, something a number 9 needs, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
England Ram Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 Leave him where he is. In a number 9 or 10 role he’d have to think more and he’s less effective when he has to think. Running really fast and taking a snap shot is what he’s good at, let him continue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Millenniumram Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 Weimann is an interesting one to be sure. He started his career as a striker but imo he doesn’t have the strength or control to be anything other than ineffective in the striker role. Looking at him play, you’d probably say his natural position is in the Vydra role, but he obviously doesn’t have the composure of Vydra to take his place. That leaves him as our best winger () so he sbets left where he is. He’s pretty effective on the right, decision making is much better than the likes of Lawrence and knows where he needs to be to be found by Huddlestone. Leave him where he is, while his technical skill is lacking at times at least he’s trying to do the right things out there, moving him will leave us with two incompetent wingers rather than just the one waste of 5 million quid.

Doodle Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 Villa fans told us Weimann is far better centrally than wide. We have to try something, either him or Palmer. Neither ideal but better than Nugent in his current form. Jerome hasn’t been given a fair crack yet, so expect Gary to pick him Saturday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
