That's got nothing to do with his knees, pal. He was the same here too. Was phenomenal at the buildup etc. but couldn't finish his dinner.

He’s average and always has been. He’s not got many uses left since his injuries. He doesn’t even seem that fast anymore
How time changes the outlook, now if you asked who would you rather the answer would be Lingard every time.
Under Moyes, when we were preparing to face Bayern in the quarter-finals of the Champions League, the coaching staff spent days analysing Neuer and telling our attackers that he often stands tall during 1v1s so DO NOT TRY CHIP HIM OR DINK FINISH if you get in there. 'Pick a corner and go low.' What does our Danny do in the first leg with the scores at 0-0? Gets in 1v1 with Neuer, loads of time to pick his spot, and he tries to dink it over him. Neuer stood up and gratefully caught the ball in his hands.
That sums up Danny Welbeck for me and will always be my everlasting memory of his time here, unfortunately.

And if I remember correctly, Wenger did not even want to sign him on a permanent deal. He wanted a loan. He promised to tell all in his next book though...
I would love to have him back...
Just Joking....

no look at the way he falls over in slow motion. He falls in such a weird way, think its do to with all them operations.
He didn't mind that whenever he scored against us didn't he?
Thank you LvG, best 16 mil. ever (or w/e it was).
Welbeck was never good enough to start IMO although he could have been a very good option from the bench.
LVG 's best act for us was that big summer blowout. So many 'ok' players with nostaligic attachments/somehow unrealised potential that made it hard for fans to think objectively (Chicarito, Welbs, Rafael, Evans, Nani, Kagawa).

Welbeck on Xavi Alonsl was a genius tactical move.
That story is famous now. All he had to do was slot it in either side of Neuer. I remember Moyes's reaction as well.
When I saw Danny go 1v1 with Neuer, I was pretty sure he will just fall down trying something.
Idk. Lingard is in great form and I hope he carries on this way and proves us all wrong.How time changes the outlook, now if you asked who would you rather the answer would be Lingard every time.
He has bad balance and i believe he would also fall occasionally while walking on the street.
Once in a while we are obligated to sell you the silvestres and the welbecks to get our hands on their RVP's and Sanchez's. Amazing foresight from the club though. Long may this trend continue.
Something definitely is very wrong with his coordination.
Warming up. No pressure. Easy pass to control. Still can't sort out his feet.
It's like he's gone a few rounds with Anthony Joshua
On a more serious note though, this guy was great in the buildup wasn't he..he'd also get into many scoring positions other forwards would probably not find themselves in.The trouble lies in his finishing, and in the end that's what matters for a striker. I like Danny, he's a good lad but nowhere near world class.
Just wrong decisions. Keeps coming back onto his right. When did players start being afraid to go past a defender and go to the byline and cut it back?
Wilshire was horrendous for Arsenal yesterday too. Bournemouth played a good game in fairness.

He was nicknamed bambi on ice or something similar by our senior players because of how he always fell over. This was long before the injuries
I think phenomenal is a tad hyperbolic.
Looked to me yesterday like he'd lost a yard of pace, knocked it past a defender and stopped running as he knew he couldn't get round him and then blamed another player for not going for the ball.
Injured tonight or dropped entirely?
They said he was injured again.
He's shit, £16M for him was amazing business.
Was always overrated and never good enough to be starting games for either United or Arsenal. If he'd have stayed injury free he'd have been a good squad player. And to be fair to him he was superb in those two games v Madrid in SAF's final season.
Didn't he miss a 1 on 1 in the away leg?
Wasn't that RvP?
Poor Danny, it must be hard for him to finally acknowledge that he's mid tier team at best.
Yeah I think so, Welbeck fluffed a wide open chance from a corner.
That was against Bayern.
Decent read.

Makes me angry watching that again. Oh what could have been! was such a simple chance as well.
Could've still been a useful player but the injuries have really caught up with him.
Fergie got the best out of him by using him in a supporting role in big games. Never been clinical enough to be a first choice striker though.

Agreed. I thought his biggest strength was the pressing work he did. Against a team that played a controlling DM, or CBs that played from the back, I’d have him in to harass them, and play it to a proper #9.
Otherwise he’s probably best on the wing.
At the time, with him him being young and English, I thought £16m was a bit low and we should have got a lot more. A few English players moved around the same time for higher fees. Lallana being one, who I thought Welbeck was much better than at that time.
But as the seasons go by and how totally forgettable he has become, it was a great deal on our behalf. Lallana improved. Welbeck practically disappeared.
Bet he still keeps scoring against us though, the git.
Michael Cox was tweeting about him the other day, saying how he's being misused at Arsenal but would have probably thrived in a parallel universe where Fergie never retired. The next Park Ji Sung. Which kind of makes sense. Although the injury problems probably would have messed that up too.
Yeah, those money that we spend Depay to replace him turned out amazing for us, didn't it?
