Danny Welbeck

[Angelito]

The major question is, will Welbeck break England legend, Wayne Rooney's, World Cup goal record?

They're neck and neck.

According to Wikipedia:

15 goals in 80 games for Arsenal (0.19 goals per game)

16 goals in 39 games for England (0.41 goals per game)

What is Welbeck’s secret? How come he scores at twice the rate for England compared to club football?

It can’t be down to the acumen of England managers or the quality of the England team, which has been pretty dogsh*t during Welbeck’s time.

If Emery can solve this puzzle maybe we can get some decent service out of Welbz. But I’m not holding my breath.

Because the English team play to his strengths ... he's scoring from six yards out having been perfectly set up by a teammate ...

Slovenia six yard line ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G7U3XfJYzQI

Switzerland six yard line ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nLtVTWSMYnU

Costa Rica six yard line ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h-C2cnU8Dn0

How often does that happen in an Arsenal shirt? He's always been good at getting onto the end of a well timed ball into the box, he's just not good from >18 yards out ... as an out and out striker playing back-up to Auba he'll do fine ....

Tbf if Welbeck stopped trying to get assists from 6 yards out he'd have more tap ins at arsenal

Playing to Welbeck's strengths.

Yeah, that's the key to success.

Lol

[EliteKiller]

Playing to Welbeck's strengths.

Yeah, that's the key to success.

Is this some sort of 'funny' comment? Playing to a players strengths seems sensible ... but maybe not in Mike Dean world .... maybe playing to a player's weaknesses is the way to go ... let's play Xhaka as a DM and see how that works out ......

[theHotHead]

Welbz, making people eat humble pie, since 2008

[Ach]

Really?

He was young and shit then. He's older and even worse now.

[theHotHead]

He was an England U17.

How has he managed to con every single manager he has ever played for !!!! According to some of you that is.

England U17, U18, U19, U21, Sir Alex Ferguson, Arsene Wenger and every senior England manager, in that time.

Perhaps he is not as bad as you think .......

[Ach]

Only player to be at both clubs as Ferguson and Wenger quit their long term jobs.

Coincidence?

[Pudpop]

Wenger didn't quit

[KG3]

Danny is quality can't wait for us to confirm his contract extension

[alexafc12]

Hope he has a good World Cup and then we sell him to West Ham.

Nope. Not funny. Sad actually and a fact.

If you have to play to a limited player like Welbeck's "strengths", you are not a very good team to begin with, which is also a fact.

Eventually it comes down to quality, and Welbeck is not it.
