On some days, maybe? In general though, I don't think it's uncommon for most CFs to spurn a few chances before they 'find their range'.

Which does make you wonder whether Danny Welbeck has genuinely been as wasteful with his chances in comparison to other forwards as is being being made out, or whether he's simply had fewer chances per game to work with because he's been playing on the wings? Forget his goals-per-games ratio for a minute - does anyone know what his chance conversion rate is? Having paid a bit more attention to what his shooting is actually like now, I wouldn't mind betting that it's not actually too far off any other forward in the league?
