Seem to remember him doing a decent through ball to Rooney, who messed a great chance with a heavy first touch, in that play.
i thought welbecks pass was over hit?
I seem to remember it being decent though, although I may have mistaken it considering it was in the middle of the night when I was watching it.
From goal.com
Good news, he deserves to be on a "first team contract" now. I reckon we'll see a massive progress from him next season.
20+ goals next season if he stays fit.
No way.
He's looking silky on the ball today, working hard and great feet.
Great energy and fighting spirit but hopefully more to come in terms of composure and technique
Yeah, he's been great with the ball at his feet, though sometimes you can see that he needs a bit more upper body strength as a nudge will cause him to be off balanced and he'll fluff the final ball ( Like that through ball he kinda missed )
When he's running he's very hard to nudge, but if he's relatively stationary he doesn't get his stance wide so he's easier to knock off. I think that's a lot to do with his style, he's a finesse player and looks to make a lot of subtle flicks and such, he's not a power player stylistically.
That SAF is playing him over Chicharito and Berbatov is really some compliment.

Shit finisher 
I really really REALLY hope he goes to the Euro's.
For his confidence's sake.
So many non United supporting fans write him off and say he's shite but the kid is immensely talented. He'll only grow with some good international experience.

Fantastic finish.
We need that Mother of God picture
Two assist and a goal. Amazing play there with Rooney. Great understanding.
So happy for Danny.
Danny Welbeck has been world class in the 2nd half. What a gem of a player we have on our hands.
He will. Only really Rooney is a better English striker at the moment
Crouch deserves a crack and an in form Defoe or Bent you could argue has more experience.
But the sheer potential in Welbeck and his understanding with Rooney is a hugely underrated asset that could be unearthed for England. How long has it been since playing for England has been a boon on the players rather than a bit of a waste of time.

I thought he was really poor in the first half and wouldn't have minded him going off for Hernandez, but what a second half he's had. Brilliant.
No, Sturridge is better than Welbeck as well. Despite that, he'll still go to the Euros.
Is he feck.
You must be fecking joking? Sturridge is ridiculously overrated.
While I can just about muster some positivity, I think Welbeck showed exceptional ability for his goal today (as well as some of his linkup and workrate).
Its something that I feel Rooney isnt the best at sometimes, the way Welbeck created the space to get his shot away for his goal and didnt just hit it and hope its not blocked. I know it wasnt good defending, but you need to give a defender something to react badly to and Welbeck sold him a great dummy to create the space and punished Everton for it with a top quality finish

his best game for United so far
Oh feck off.
Disappointed for him that the defence collapsed. Completely taken the gloss off probably his best performance in a United shirt.
How is he not? Explain. He's got much better technique on the ball than Welbeck and has had a better goalscoring rate than him in the Premier League by a fair distance.
Sturridge is pretty greedy and can't play on the shoulder of the striker. If England are going to play 4-3-3 then he could play up on the right or left.
Other than that Danny's form has had a better base all season. Sturridge has been through a horrible patch lately. (and I like DS as well).

One is starting regularly for United, other is on the bench these days for Chelsea. Take a clue from that and if you can't then you're hopeless.
I disagree. He's probably a better dribbler but he's far too selfish and plays with his head down. Welbeck is capable of seeing and executing a killer pass.
Sturridge reminds me of Defoe.
Great second half nevertheless from Danny. The performance from him, Rooney and Nani would have deserved a win
What? Whether they're playing or not means absolutely nothing. Welbeck generally plays because he fits into our team well, while Sturridge's lack of football has often been down to Torres and Drogba wrongfully being picked based on reputation.
Why don't you judge them on actual ability as opposed to other factors. Sturridge has only played a few less games in the league than Welbeck this season as well.
That's exactly what I was thinking, he was brilliant in the second half but that will all be forgotten in the aftermath of the collapse.
Today I witnessed something I had never even considered, (well asides from a 4-4 result) and that is the beauty of Nani & Welbeck combining, they're definitely on the same page, I really can't wait to watch them both play together more, beautiful stuff.
3rd and 4th goals are why he is ahead of Hernandez. Offers much more in combination play.
And also why he should be seen as a better striking option than Sturridge. His linkup play is ahead of many players of a similar level and age group when it comes to strikers. That and his work rate are why Rooney suggested him for united's player of the season. I think thats over the top, but I think it says something about how much Rooney appreciates having a player doing that for him
Rooneys 2nd goal reminded me of Cole and Yorke against Barca in 98/99. Great little move that.
Sturridge is a flash bastard, not a great footballer. Did you watch the u21s over the summer? Who looked the better player? Sturridge was dribbling and looking great because he was trying to do it all on his own, but who was actually having an impact on games linking up play and scoring goals? Welbeck.
If you like selfish pricks who occasionally have moments of magic, you'll like Sturridge. Welbeck is the better player.
