Slabhead can’t handle him.

Not exactly a glowing tribute.

Welbeck was considerably better than that.

No chance with Southgate in charge.

No chance with Southgate in charge.

Sadly that is true. Hell would need to freeze over before he picks an Albion player for a meaningful game

Awesome today

 

[Psychobilly freakout]

Absolute stunning performance today.

 

[Weststander]

The mobility, pace and stamina of someone ten years younger. Led the line brilliantly.

that’s sooo funny. He had a quality first half, tired in 2nd half and change of formation didn’t help. I hope he plays like this all season. World Cup is obviously not gonna happen whoever the manager is but it’s a positive for us.

A fit Welbeck is a great boost, looks so strong. He will upset plenty of opposing centre half this season.

 

[Luke93]

Welbeck is getting better and better too. Staggering after the injuries he’s had and is now 31. Keep him fit, or even fit enough for most games, and he’ll have an excellent season. Deserves it after working so hard.

 

[Rugrat]

This, this and this to all the above.

Wouldn't surprise me at all to see him as POTS

 

[BadFish]

Brilliant performance, but let's face it he isn't going to play for England.

The best we can hope for is that he stays fit all season for us.

 

[Cheeky Monkey]

‘Welbeck’. Where’s the respect? Even Harold Maguire has a thread using his full name on here. It’s akin to people who shout ‘Potter’ at our lord and saviour GP. Disrespectful.

Quite liked this one from Jonathan Wilson:

"[Southgate] His two England forwards, Marcus Rashford and Jadon Sancho, were outshone by the largely forgotten Welbeck, who kept plucking passes out of the sky with a deftness that suggested his boots had been fashioned from Niall Quinn’s chest."

Noice.

Yup... like I said yesterday: there's nothing those two can do that Welbeck can't.

And indeed his target game has improved a lot (or maybe he was always good at it but just bought the perception of him as a pace merchant) since he joined the club and spent most of the games hiding between defenders, just waiting for a run. A lot more involved now. Not sure if that is mainly down to the coaching staff or the medical... well, engineering team.
