[Albion] Danny Welbeck

[Swansman]

Just to go against tide here, I actually don’t think either Welbeck or Zeqiri have been given a decent chance. 20 minutes here and there just isn’t long enough.

Maupay should have been rested weeks ago, and although he set up the goal yesterday once again he offered next to nothing in the box. Yes I know the offside goal, but it was offside.....

Welbeck has been available (= not injured) for 15 PL games, out of those he started 7 and got on as a sub in 7 and done little more than hiding and misfiring. Sure, the other strikers dont really have fantastic goal statistics either but at least they participate in the games.

Would prefer pretty much anyone (definitely including Zeqiri) instead of him but I guess the idea from GP is that this guy with his should convert all his experience and skill into something that could help the team in this precarious situation, but I'm increasingly leaning towards the idea that this youngster from the Swiss second division could provide more than this guy with 40+ caps for England

He's been disappointing. I never expected him to carry this team or to score a lot of goals, but I expected him to get involved in the games and lead by example but nopes.

Hopefully he can prove me wrong in the remaining games, he should be a good player but tbh its been quite a long while since he performed at this level.

But prior to injury he was looking hungry, I just don’t feel he’s had much chance since, meanwhile Maupay who seemingly does little right in the penalty area is apparently untouchable. Personally, I’d also like to see Zeqiri, but if that’s not going to happen then I’d still give Welbeck a go.....

Agree re Swiss Andi But Welbz is an injury prone player whose game time has to be carefully managed
If you get 2/3 rds of a season out of him happy daze

Potter is clueless bringing this lump on Maupay was actually having a half decent game for once last night. Along with the coach utter shite.

 

[junior]

Load of crap.

He'll be off at the end of the season along with Potter.

I agree with your sentiments but please read the mug.

TBH indicative of our failing recruitment that he was the only forward we could actually bring in of any note (Zeqiri is one for the future)

failing recruitment ? Well that is simply G/P fault,yes you have scouts but a Director of Football do me a favour the manager picks his player's to fit his team.

 

[Sirnormangall]

Like many of us I had high hopes when Wellbeck signed, but other than Villa away, I’m struggling to think of another match when he had any impact ( did he touch the ball at all v Leicester?). May be he should have been given more opportunity, but I sense from the little I’ve seen of them, that Tau and Swiss Andy have greater desire - and I think that’s what we’ll need in the last few matches if we’re to stay up.

Welbeck hasn’t been THAT bad. And yes, he hasn’t had that much of a chance since his injury.
Not worth writing him off yet, although he’s never going to be Harry Kane.

I am in need of an olive branch from the Potter Outers tonight, poor old GP is being ripped to shreds by some posters

But I am in agreement that Welbeck is pants

6 points from the next 2 games and the haranguing will all but stop. 2 points or less and it will reach a deafening crescendo..

It’s should be thanks but no thanks to Welbeck for next season. Those wages are wasted.

Think this is the first time I’ve seen you post when it hasn’t been a shit thread you’ve started.

I’ll give it to you. Your posts are consistently shit when they’re replies too.

I agree for what it’s worth. He and perhaps Andone or Tau may just come good in our hour of need. Maupay and Connolly need a period out whether injured or not.

I will take your word for that.

I don't disagree. Funnily enough, I've had the same view about Ali J.

 

[crodonilson]

I am a massive Welbz fan, he's an absolute class act, you saw the difference when he came into the team at the beginning of the season, he's had some cruel luck with injuries and given our lack of goals there is a massive pressure on a player who isn't a natural goalscorer.

Yes, he has been sub and brought on for 20 minutes most of the season, or injured (not Potters fault). Potter should have created more competition up front and given him games but he always starts with Maupay, despite none of the forwards scoring. Very odd.

Welbz has injury issues Swiss Andi not so much
So give the lad a go
The worst that happens is everyone disses him on the internet and his confidence plummets
Or he hits the ground running and the sky’s the limit
