Welbeck could be a very good player if he just worked on his finishing. He has every other tool, just lacks the finishing touch when he has to think about it. When he goes with instinct he usually scores.

Welbeck can only score when he has no time to make decision. He can score good goals with instant reaction otherwise he will hush of it. Great chance but lost it. Hope we can score

He will never have it mate. He is not some 18 year old and just a very poor player, when it comes to any class and composure when needed.

When he scores it is more a accident and I am not sure if he meant it or new what he was doing. One on one with a goalie and he does that, oh dear me.

Shahram, Welbeck is not a "very poor player", behave yourself.

He's a far better players than Hernandez and you wouldn't describe Pea as a "very poor player".

He isn't good enough to be first choice for MU, but to say he's a very poor player is a very poor observation.

You seem to think being big and holding up the ball makes up for shocking finishing and decision making. Hernandez is twice the striker that Welbeck is.

Please tell me what is Babmi, because he is no winger, no midfielder and no striker. He is a utility player that does a job and nothing more.

His misses are unbelievably poor a lot of miseries started with that incredible miss of his against Everton at Home and big players take those chances when the team needs them most.

I am not going to hide the fact that I have never rated him and people around here defend them because they are from the academy.

Shahram. To say welbeck is a poor player is ridiculous. He's excellent and he gave the bayern defence a torrid time. He can improve his finishing no doubt, but to call him a poor player is ridiculous.
2nd half we played with passion and good tempo which is wjat was required.

A striker who can't score and is neither great in creating goals for others, is a poor striker by definition. It is absolutely useless "to give them a hard time and then miss your opportunities and nothing to show for it".

He makes Forlan look like Maradona and Forlan was a much better player and he only lasted 3 years with us. In normal times Danny Welbeck is not a Manchester United quality Striker.

I do not deny he gave them a hard time but it also had to do with Bayern being quite arrogant and pushing players up and creating one on one situations for Welbeck.

He is a poor striker but a decent utility player for certain types of games due to our shortage of options at this point in time.

This is not about just one piece of play from tonight but something that we have seen over and over for a few years and not fixable IMO.

He has zero composure and not good enough for a top level team. Good/ great strikers at this level are predators and deadly because you get far and few chances.
