Listen to me!!!
Good job we went out and bought a new striker or two.................oh.
Quite.
It is what it is really. Welbeck is never going to play anywhere near 38 games in a season, if you can get 20-25 games from him it is good and all that can be expected.
There's Maupay, Connolly, Welbeck, Zeqiri, Andone, Tau, Locadia in the squad as well as Trossard who has played quite a few games as striker. While some of these can play in multiple positions, you cant just keep adding more and more players because it ****s up dressing room atmosphere as well as training sessions.

Andone to step in and shine, no worries

Tau and Connolly did ok though today - suspect we may start at Burnley with at least one of them alongside Maupay or Andone (who looked today like he could start an argument in an empty room).
I know everyone wants us to sign a new striker but I just have a gut feeling we'll go with what we've got, and that includes at the back as it does sound like Cuccurella may well be heading elsewhere.

Should we be surprised? no of course not.
Yup. Think we'll see Le Maup and Connolly up front against Burnley.

Even more reason to get a new striker in before Burnley game - can’t rely on the others to score

Yes I noticed that, twice with his own players. Seems so unnecessary / annoying.

I have to admit, Connolly impressed me today against Luton with a touch Bergkamp would've been applauding. Massive long played over the top, Connolly was chasing it with a player on his shoulder, threw himself into the air, stretched out his leg and took it down beautifully.
Maybe because I've seen so much of the likes of McCammon and Virgo playing upfront for us, it just seemed top, top class seeing that sort of skill level upfront for us. Definitely has the potential, just needs more game time and confidence I believe.

Yet some on here think we don't need to sign another striker. If we don't get our money out and sign a decent striker we'll be scrapping around the bottom 3 again. We've tried and failed to sign strikers on the cheap since we arrived in the PL, with another season of TV rights and £50m from the White deal there should be no excuses

There was one point where it seemed half the team were telling Andone what he was doing wrong and how he wasn’t playing to the plan - good to see Enock, The Llama and Biss all trying to educate him.

I would add to this it looks like 60 million from incoming transfers and over 10 million a year saved in wages so Now has to be the time we step up to mark and splash out on the striker we all know we desperately need.

Pretty much agree with most of that - but FFS leave Locadia in the USA or wherever he is!

His temperament has always put me off him, and I don't think he endears himself to his team mates either. Wasn't it a journalist who said his last leaving do was to be held in a phone box?
Yea I expect him to play 0 minutes this season but he is unfortunately back and costing a lot of money and likely soon to be lurking around the training facilities.
