Great player, but not a left winger at all.
Making us so narrow at times today.

I think he has used the ball quite well today, it's encouraging that our newest academy graduates (Welbeck and Cleverley) are so efficient in possession.

I don't think Fergie is doing him any favours out on the wing, though he kept moving from there. That said, if he wants to play games up front he could be left waiting quite often this season, so I presume he's trying to keep his development going without having to drop one of Rooney/RvP.
He hasn't been playing as a winger, he's been playing up front alongside Van Persie with Kagawa in behind and all three of them at various points have pulled out wide both in defence and attack. People have been saying for ages how great that '433' we played with Rooney on the left and Ronaldo on the right because of the fluidity of the frontline but we had all the same issues when it didn't work out. It'll take time to find the best way to fit them all in.
Welbeck is wasted on the wings.

The greatness bar has certainly been lowered.
Had a shocker today, in the early stages when we were establishing control it always seemed to be him that lost us possession. Sure, he won it back a couple of times, but better if he hadn't lost it in the first place. Time to give Hernandez a few games in his place. We were much more if a threat when he came on.
No one gives a shit you utter bore
He's 'very good' then, feckin hell.
You should maybe analyse your own posts with the same rigour you do everyone elses, maybe then you won't come out with such consistent shite.
He shouldn't be starting in the League except in emergencies, he's nowhere near as good as van Persie or Rooney as a striker and he's nowhere near as good as Nani or Young as a winger. He should be used primarily as back-up or an option from the bench, starting in dead rubber games or against lower division opponents.

Start Hernandez on the left? Why not Nani instead?
To be honest, no-one other than Van Persie - and Scholes when he came on - had a great day today (hence why the match-thread resembles the aftermath of a suicide cult at times). Welbeck doesn't work as an orthodox winger but I can see the idea behind putting him on the left of Van Persie with Kagawa floating around, they should be capable of some excellent movement and passing between them. Didn't work at all today of course, but we were just a bit shit in general.
Welbeck is rubbish on the left
