Re: Weghorst
I’ll bet that Wout will finish this season with more goals than Chris Wood.
He’s excellent when he gets the ball into his feet and whilst he may never be prolific, if we can get the right players in and around him he could be outstanding for us and change the dynamic of the team completely. The only issue is we don’t necessarily have those players right now.

Re: Weghorst
He’s clearly got some technical ability, but I don’t think he gets in our most effective 11. Time for him to be benched and get back to what makes us effective. I would start either Barnes or Vydra until the end of the season.arise_sir_charge wrote: ↑Thu Apr 07, 2022 6:37 amI’ll bet that Wout will finish this season with more goals than Chris Wood.

Re: Weghorst
Barnes is way past it.
A combination of 2 from WW, JR and MV is the way to go between now and May.

Re: Weghorst
Barnes can still act as a focal point. Let’s be realistic we haven’t got the ability to play the ball to feet on regular basis as some want us to. So the majority of our balls into the forwards will be long balls, Weghorst has proven this just isn’t his game. Barnes could still act as the target man.arise_sir_charge wrote: ↑Thu Apr 07, 2022 6:53 amBarnes is way past it.

However I agree, my personal choice would Vydra and Jay up top.
Re: Weghorst
I think you’ve got to remember we’d just lost our main striker, with seemingly very few targets lined up, and faced challenges finding anyone at all. Weghorst has been prolific in Germany, playing Champions League this year and gets called up by Holland. Add to that he was available at £12m and it seems a no brainer. Obviously he’s a different type of player than we are used to, let’s just hope we somehow manage to stop up and sign some ball playing midfielders. He’ll benefit from a full pre season, as will Cornet.shanghaiclaret wrote: ↑Thu Apr 07, 2022 7:04 amI don't understand why our coach brought him in, if he isn't going to play the ball to his strengths.

Re: Weghorst
He’s not the man to just jump up and flick the ball on in the hope his partner will get on to it. He tries to control the ball and pass or lay it off. It’s a change from what we are used to.

Weghorst is far too slow he’s never going to score regularly in this league.
A couple of occasions I saw him closing a defender or the keeper down and he looked definitely faster than Wood.
Certainly not quick (which he doesn’t need to be) but not slow.
Also, I posted a thread on Saturday about Wout, and it’s so nice to see there are actually some Burnley fans out there who have some semblance of footballing understanding as they can see what a good player he is. We just don’t utilise him well at the moment as our midfield can’t pass a football.

I believe the point is more that he is not effective for us.
He is by far the slowest striker I have ever seen. Genuinely think Peter crouch was quicker.

Re: Weghorst
Jay & vydra are our most effective 2, there’s nothing with benching WW just because he’s arrived here with a reputation & a sizeable fee shouldn’t make him an automatic starter, I’d let him sit a few games out to see if he bucks his ideas up.Newcastleclaret93 wrote: ↑Thu Apr 07, 2022 7:09 amBarnes can still act as a focal point.

Re: Weghorst
No need to change Wout, change the team, or rather change the tactics. Why pump it in the air, when he wants it to feet.

We showed at Brighton, when we do get it right we can beat most teams in this league, but hoofball, and failing to get numbers in the box have really hurt us this season.
If we are going to stay up then we have to ditch the negative football and play a hell of a lot more proactive.
Re: Weghorst
I think Cork improves our ball retention, particularly passing it on the floor. The current midfield two aren’t good enough to do it, that’s why we resort to going direct. No chance Dyche changes it though.Colburn_Claret wrote: ↑Thu Apr 07, 2022 8:46 amNo need to change Wout, change the team, or rather change the tactics.

Re: Weghorst
That’s the point I’m making though, yes we can play football on the deck once in a while but we can’t do it consistently to make Weghorst effective. Right now we need to work with what we have and play the most effective football we can until the end of the season.Colburn_Claret wrote: ↑Thu Apr 07, 2022 8:46 amNo need to change Wout, change the team, or rather change the tactics.

I think the team that finished the game gives us that best shot. Jay is relatively handy in the air and Vydra can stretch the defence to allow Cornet so space.

Re: Weghorst
I understand your reasoning, but none of our players are consistent enough to justify a solid starting spot. Dropping Wout, and playing the way we've always played, would just lead us to the same vulnerability we've been showing most of the season. Creating very little, then conceding late when there's no time to do anything about it.Newcastleclaret93 wrote: ↑Thu Apr 07, 2022 9:13 amThat’s the point I’m making though, yes we can play football on the deck once in a while but we can’t do it consistently to make Weghorst effective.

We are far better on the front foot, and if that leaves us slightly more open in defence well this season has shown its a chance worth taking.

Cornet and Lennon's great defensive work should be acknowledged here as it allows defenders that bit more freedom and belief to create chances for the strikers.

Re: Weghorst
Jack has been impressive recently, certainly the pick of the midfield, a bigger shock is how far off Westy is. Westwood has been our main man for the last few years, but for whatever reason it's been a poor season, by his own standards.
We've known for a long time that Midfield is our weak spot, but whoever we pick we have to get the ball on the deck, wide men going for the byline, and bodies in the box.
If we return to type against Norwich we'll get beat. We'll be the wrong side of those fine margins yet again.
Re: Weghorst
He reminds me of Peter Crouch the way he looks ungainly on the ball, but usually comes away from tackles with the ball.

Look at the stats between him and Brownhill and tell me who had the better game. If you went off player ratings you would think Brownhill played well.
59% pass completion at this level is absolutely dire.

We need to play to his strengths, i.e to his feet so he can link up play. And we haven't created a single good cance for him since Palace. Was a moemnt last night when Collins should've cut it back and he had a tap in. He'll come good.

It isn't a case of just last night, it's the season, and we had our best run when Brownhill and Cork were in the middle. It isn't just about individuals either, it's about partnerships, and Brownhill and Westwood who I both like, don't seem to click together.Newcastleclaret93 wrote: ↑Thu Apr 07, 2022 12:38 pmI just don’t get why Westy is getting slated again after last nights game.

I don't mind who plays there, so long as they try and keep the ball down and pass to feet. Westy is the far more likely to hoof it imo.

Re: Weghorst
If we continue to play like we did with Goal 2 and 3 last night i.e down the flank with a ball back in then Weghorst will score a hatful. This is when we are at our best and always has been.
It's also where Dwight is at his best when him and Taylor overlap and deliver quality balls in. It was good for Wood and it will likewise be good for Wout.
Unfortunately we seem to rely on Franz Tarkowski playing that long diagonal which hardly ever sticks.

To me that says he’s not getting into the right positions as our other forwards are at least having shots. Westwood had 3 alone in the game last night.
Re: Weghorst
Tbf he dragged a few players towards the front post for Jays goal, that created the small space to pick him out. Then if Collins squares that chance when he shot he’s free for a tap in.Newcastleclaret93 wrote: ↑Thu Apr 07, 2022 4:38 pmIsn’t the stat something like in the last 6 games Weghorst has managed 4 shots with none on target.

Re: Weghorst
Think your clutching at straws there if I’m honest. Clearly a good footballer but doesn’t suit us at all. Maybe next year if we stay up and get a Defour Type in.
Re: Weghorst
Struck me that there were a lot of hopeful balls up to Wout and there was rarely anyone up there with him particularly in the first half. A bit of a thankless task and definitely not playing to his strengths. When there were players around him he did ok bringing balls down with his back to goal and laying it off with simple passes to players moving forward.
Instrumental in taking two defenders towards the front post leaving the space for Jay to score. Could easily have had an assist for the chance that he created for Cornet on 78 minutes.
There were a lot of people criticising Vydra last season because he stretches the team into more advances positions, it doesn't match our framework, playing Wout does. As always there are plenty of people who think that we'd be better off playing the players who aren't on the pitch but I'm sure Sean will look at the stats and see that Wout put a real shift in. I'm sure that he will get goals if he gets the right service.

Just needs the ball to drop to him off a defenders arse for him to smash it in, the rest of his game has been superb imo, running his absolute nuts off, the ball sticks to him weirdly, like he wriggles away with the ball when he shouldn't. I thought he was top draw at Palace, didn't lose the ball once, hit the target with header from a corner and stuck away his only other chance (but Jay was marginally offside).Steve-Harpers-perm wrote: ↑Thu Apr 07, 2022 5:38 pmHe was going mad at Collins when he got subbed for not cutting the ball back to him.

Re: Weghorst
He’s a good player , needs the ball to feet much more often and more technical ability behind him to create some chances . However he’s worked his backside off for the team since arriving and IF he can get on the scoresheet Sunday then that’s 3 of our forward players potentially with a bit of confidence/form going in to the run in.

Weghorst is in the right area, you can't doubt that, it's not his fault the pullbacks didn't land to him.

I just don’t see what you see in him. In my opinion he’s never going to score 10 goals a season in this league.
Re: Weghorst
I don't think anyone will score 10 goals a season in this current Burnley side, we don't create anywhere near enough often enough. What I see is a striker offering more than Wood did this season, in the same side. Running his absolute arse off and pressing back, doesn't give the ball away often, just needs the Collins cutback to land to him, he created the space. He has obvious quality with the ball at his feet, anyone can see that, just needs us to play to his strengths more.Newcastleclaret93 wrote: ↑Thu Apr 07, 2022 7:07 pmIf that’s your view fair enough.

But that’s the point we are not going to play to his strengths because we haven’t got players that can. I’m not entirely sure how effective he would be even if we did. As I say his lack of physicality and speed is quite staggering.

But that’s the point we are not going to play to his strengths because we haven’t got players that can. I’m not entirely sure how effective he would be even if we did. As I say his lack of physicality and speed is quite staggering.

Re: Weghorst
What we saw last night was excellent deliveries into the box that could be attacked. Result? Three really good goals. Weghorst has been starved of that kind of service. When the ball comes across, served on a plate, Wout will score. He just needs the service.

Re: Weghorst
Newcastle, all these stats you refer to, what do they mean?
What’s a completed pass?
Are the ones Westy gives back to the throw in takers knee a completed pass? Is the one she shelled at Lenon’s head that was impossible to control a completed pass?
Football is played on grass, not in a spreadsheet.

A pass that is successfully received from another player on the same team.
So if Westwood passes the ball to Brownhill and he controls it, that is classed as a completed pass.

Re: Weghorst
I was just saying last night that he looks nothing like Peter Crouch! He doesn't look ungainly on the ball to me. Strange how two people can see things totally differently sometimes.
