The thought of someone going out their way to see Black Mirror is high comedy.

The high pressuring nature of Welbecks game means he's usually all over the place so isn't ever really in a 1 on 1 situation. This 'he can't finish' thing is massively overstated.

Don't get me wrong he needs to improve on his composure in front of goal and his striking of a ball from afar but he's actually a very competent finisher.

he used to when he was younger. Now he's just afraid to shoot. he wont even try a long pass in the air.

Even when he was on loan at Sunderland he would be on some wasteful shyt but I just blamed it on him being played as a winger but ohmygod

If I had absolutely no life I would record every instance Welbeck bottled a clear chance. I like him and I want him to do well but it's getting to be a problem.

He 'bottles' things like laying on chances for others quite a lot. But presented with a 1 on 1, he's fine.

We can't forget this guy is still only 22. He's got plenty of time, and in the big games his endeavour and work rate, along with his ability to retain the ball with his back to the defence are a huge asset. It's the only thing that stopped England going out in the group stage last year imo.

The lad is quality m8s, quality.

To me he was the only plus point players wise from the Euros last summer.
