Couldn’t be more wrong for me.
Streets ahead of Maupay, he can finish for a start and has far better touch.
When he was over his issues, he was quite lethal and IMO exactly what we have missed this season.
After he had come on as sub.
I don’t agree with your assessment at all.
His weight of pass and hold-up play was actually very good and continued to improve with the more games he got (playing regularly improves you, who knew?😃).
I suspect the whole “he’s coming back”, is more to test the level...
Thought his touch was good and also weight of pass. He wasn’t very good at pressing, and that is a big part of our game.
I’m also disappointed he went, but I understand some of it may have been personal choice.
Think he may have missed another at home perhaps. I seem to recall him hitting the post somewhere. Scored at Arsenal in the cup from the spot.
Edit - just looked it up, I must have imagined it.
Possibly, but I do agree with @Wardy's twin he really isn’t a good finisher. In fact he’s more like to score a worldly, than a free header…… see Liverpool at home and Leeds a couple of seasons back.
Edit - Ale Mac scored penalties though, I think Welbeck has missed at least 2 for us.
Fair comment. However, his biggest attribute is his finishing, and he scored more than that at USG and is now up to speed PL wise, not that unlikely.
As per mine and others posts he is still fourth choice.
