If he’s not a good striker when he is supposed to be one then surely that means he is shit?
He doesn’t think when he plays, and recently he has added diving to his game instead of just getting on with it which has caused us to lose possession or concede a few times.
One thing that stands out is when he tries to ‘nick a ball’ from a player.
When a thinking footballer does it, they stick a leg out or leave it trailing and nick the ball away from the opposition player, then they turn and run with it or pass it and get on the attack to take advantage of the situation.
But, watch when Welbeck does it. Just watch him. He will leave the leg in and nick the ball..... then it’s like he had no idea that it would actually work. He just stands there, like a rabbit trapped in the headlights, only for said opposition to come and take the ball back off him.
It happpens nearly every time he tries to do it. Useless.
We need better than him Letters, surely you can at least agree on that?
