Re: Wout Weghorst
Jury’s out for me, but you can’t judge anyone on one game in conditions like that.

Re: Wout Weghorst
Hard to judge really given its one game but looked pretty average. Couple of decent flick ons
Re: Wout Weghorst
Very hard game to judge in such atrocious conditions, possibly the worst we’ve seen in a long time on the Turf. Thought he showed some promise, linked play better than Wood and got into a few good positions and with a touch more luck might have scored.

Re: Wout Weghorst
Strange one.
Showed some good touches at times but i can’t see how a striker that slow can make an impact. Might improve with better service at some point

First game in a new league / country in shite conditions and in a really poor team performance. Too soon to tell.

Cut him some slack.....£12 million doesn't buy you a world beater in the Premier League.

Re: Wout Weghorst
Could have Shearer and Wright in their pomp up front and they’d struggle to score with the lack of service.

Re: Wout Weghorst
Jury is out. Looked pretty poor but awful conditions tonight. Also from everything I have seen of him on them youtube analysis videos is that he is best anticipating on throw ins and corners, attacking the ball after the first touch/ flick on. Today we seemed to be using him for the flick ons which goes against everything which he seems to be good at. So until Dyche starts using him in a way which his other clubs have done and been successful then I doubt we will reap the rewards
Re: Wout Weghorst
We couldn’t go tonight but managed to watch the game on tv. You do get a different perspective on tv and see repeats of incidents that allow you to make perhaps a different judgment than you would seeing the game live. He looked slow to be honest and wanted far too much time on the ball, not brilliant with his feet. In his defence it was his first game and it will take him a few games to get up to speed, I’m sure his previous league is nothing like the Premier League and he’ll realise that very quickly.

Re: Wout Weghorst
Awful conditions and his first game but seemed a bit leggy and behind the pace. One or two decent touches apart.
Re: Wout Weghorst
Unfair to judge any new signing in tonight’s conditions I would have thought.

Re: Wout Weghorst
Maybe just the angle I had but I thought he was considerably slower than Wood.
I can’t see Weghorst scoring the goal Wood did against Brentford for example.
First game so can’t be too critical, he had a couple of decent touches.

Re: Wout Weghorst
Conditions obviously didn't help. Unlike Cornet's first couple games there was no 'sit up and take notice' moments.
We may have almost exactly replaced Wood, though there was a through ball I remember and Wout was onside! So there's something

Think he'll be quite decent in the Championship.

Re: Wout Weghorst
Not the best centre forward play and not a patch on Wood.
Needs to sharpen considerably.
Let's hope he does.

Re: Wout Weghorst
He’s a upgrade from wood he actually headed the ball and some of the touches was good to bring players into play just a shame the players are Stephen’s and Westwood

Re: Wout Weghorst
Overall I was disappointed ( and I suspect he was too)
but he had no service and might be lacking enough pace to be a success in the Premier. Like any player he is going to need some time which I hope the fans will give him. Score the winner against United and he will be an instant hero

Re: Wout Weghorst
I don't know what his mileage (Or Kms) figures were but I'm guessing he'll be up there amongst the most.
I liked what I saw for a first game in atrocious conditions. Needs to sharpen up a little. You don't get a lot of time to make up your mind in the Prem. We need to practice those long throw-in routines.

Re: Wout Weghorst
Pointless thread. How can anyone be judged in those conditions tonight? Just standing up must have been difficult. No surprise to me that neither team scored. That said, he's a vast improvement on Wood, because, so far as I'm aware, he wasn't offside once tonight.
OK, we only got a point. I guess we'll just have to get three on Tuesday instead. Think positive for goodness sake.

Re: Wout Weghorst
I thought he looked a decent footballer, not a battering ram target man. Worked hard but often dropped too deep. His touch round the defender was very very good

I mean, he may or may not be, but to make a decision on 1. One game 2. One game in the worst footballing conditions possible, just shows how clueless some peoples knowledge of football actually is, painful.

Re: Wout Weghorst
Watching him run towards me it’s difficult to tell how quick or slow he was but he appeared to be considerably slower than the players near to him.
I clearly haven’t made judgement, hence the comments around his touch and it being his first game

Re: Wout Weghorst
He is slower than Wood both in acceleration and sprinting speed but is taller, stronger and a better header (despite Wood being good at all three). He is more like Crouch than Wood, all arms and legs. At least two players went down having been caught by a flailing arm at (their) head height. He drops very deep I noticed, a bit too deep for me (to bring Cornet into play) but we’ll see how he transitions to our tactics.
He won’t score as many as in the Bundesliga but I would hope he would get 10 a season in open play.
Also, those conditions were horrendous, high balls were doing all kinds of weird things, it wasn’t just wind it was swirling. So I felt the conditions didn’t suit his game at all today.

Re: Wout Weghorst
Absolutely nothing wrong with that performance, in those conditions. Held up play very well, won flick ons, brought others into play. Will take time to adjust to the speed and physicality of the league but those saying he looked awful, in those conditions, in my opinion are being ridiculously harsh.
