Don't be rude, dear.Jem
how many starts in those figures ?
did he see the games out he started ?
Yes I’m being pedantic
But statistics can be made into whatever you wish them to be

Anyone can Look it up but idea that Welbeck isn’t reliable - for us at least in three seasons now- is a tired old trope. Plenty don’t believe it but just look at his track record. He only missed a handful of games due to fitness last season.Jem

Yep it does appear that we have fixed him
Personally more worried about Wellbeck's finishing .... he missed some glorious chances .
This. Since he returned from surgery for his hamstring in December 2021 out of the 60 Premier League games we played. Danny Welbeck has had playing time in 52 of them (33 starts, 19 sub appearances), made 2 further squads where he didn't get off the bench and missed just 6 games. That is not the stats of an injury prone/unreliable player.
I think Welbeck is incredibly underated, he is arguably playing his best football and clearly enjoying himself here at the Albion. He's a key player for me on and off the field. His stats hold up really well, He has scored 18 in 80 PL appearances for us, at Arsenal it was 16 in 88 and at Man Utd it was 20 in 92. Still at the top of his game in my opinion.
He has missed a lot of easy chances IMO , that does not mean he is not playing well for the team. It means he should have had 5 goals more last season. What is annoying is he has scored some great goals.
I don’t care how many he scores as long as the team are getting plenty, and with him in it they are most of the time.
I do, we scored 3 at Liverpool, and I recall Welbeck missing an absolute sitter at 2-0 up. He’s not a great finisher, but a good player nonetheless.
Ale Mac missed far more sitters than Welbeck I reckon.
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.
One I think - away at West Brom in 2021 (Groß missed one in the same game too, we lost 1-0)
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.
Yes that’s what I used.
