Welbeck is not a prolific striker. He also has poor creativity. If you are not scoring goals OR creating chances for others to score goals, then you are seriously lacking in 2 vital areas for a forward attacking player. The lack of goals would be no issue whatsoever, IF Welbeck created chances on a regular basis, but he doesn't.
Welbeck created 16 chances all season in PL and CL. Welbeck started 19 games and came off the bench 11 times.
Nani created 13 chances all season in PL and CL. Nani started 8 games and came off the bench 4 times.
Welbeck played a total of 1826 minutes in PL and CL. 114.1 minutes per chance created.
Nani played a total of 648 minutes in PL and CL. 49.8 minutes per chance created.
Nani this season performed below his best. By comparing Welbeck's creativity to the creativity of a player performing below his best, you can see just how shockingly poor Welbeck's creativity is. If you factor in the other of the 2 vital areas for a forward player, goals.
Welbeck 73 minutes per goal scored or chance created.
Nani 46.3 minutes per goal scored or chance created.
If a team is lacking creativity, they will not create enough chances. You want to aim to have at least 4 of your attacking players to be sub 30 minutes per goal scored or chance created, or as close as possible. This means that your attacking players are all creating chances and/or scoring goals. If you have 4 players at 73 mins per goal or chance, you are going to be very poor creatively as a team. If you are poor creatively, you create less chances, so there is less chance for the team to score and win games.
Seasons 09/10, 10/11, 11/12 Nani was 32, 34, 29 mins per goal or chance. Next season we need the 4 forward players to be at 30 mins per goal or chance. If we can get one or both CMs close to 30 as well, then we have a very creative team and will be scoring many goals throughout the season. Giggs was more than capable of being around 30, even sub 30. None of our current CMs are capable of getting anywhere close. Welbeck is not capable of getting close, unless he dramatically improves.
