Welbeck to me is a less selfish D Sturridge.

Has pace, work rate and (unlike Sturridge) links up well... but you know he's gonna miss 8 chances out of 10.

For someone who is probably most effective using his pace on the shoulder of the last man, that lack of finishing ability is a deal breaker.

you can't compare Welbeck to Sturridge. Sturridge by all account should be a top top class forward. He has got pace, decent height, skills and technique. Its just that his decision making is non-existant: He'll make the wrong decision 9.99999 out of 10 shyt, he's already in Rodgers' doghouse ask @SCORCH and other chelsea fans on here about sturridge.
Sturridge's work rate is too.

Welbeck just lack finishing. And it doesn't seem it'll improve with being consistently played out of position.

But how often does he play in that position for club tho?

i know he doesn't get the chance and i don't deny it's pure prejudice that i'm writing his chances off before he's got it.

a game at emirates sticks in my mind where they came and beat us but Welbeck (even with our shyt defence) came up blank and missed about 4 sitters.

i don't buy that you can always take someone who can't finish and that they will somehow develop it by playing up there....

he should be put in the same bracket as someone like Adebayor, who you can tell will never be clinical, no matter how much he's picked as a CF.

compared to someone like pre-leg break Eduardo who you could immediately tell knew how to score a goal and had all the instincts to do it repeatedly.

Welbeck has all the attributes he needs... but he fukks up cos he's weak mentally when he needs a bit of composure... that's why I liken him to Sturridge, who rather than bottling it, just makes poor choices.

is that a kid who lacks composure?? when he was younger he had finishing skills. dont know what happened.

let's not try and illustrate ability based on 43 second YouTube clips, otherwise I'll dig out that Adebayor goal of the season one and we can pretend he's a top class striker.

If one Chelsea team had to win today I'd have preferred the youth in all honesty.

I know, I can just see you when Ba scored then it hit you a few seconds later

Cech save you was

Full time

 

[Montez]

I like how some mysterious "fact" about Begovic being awesome was started and all of a sudden he's being talked about like he's some world class player

He's available

Adebayor was a top class striker before Wenger refused to give him more money

He started well at City but his national team bus got shot up.

If Mourinho doesn't return to Chelsea. Chelsea fans who would you rather have as your next manager? Moyes or Rafa ?

Full time

Ba's goal was glorious. Put in a proper shift today, deserved his goal.

Cech's save was unfukkingbelievable and the fact that it denied that twat his customary goal against us made it even sweeter. Never has a player as bad as Hernandez terrorised us. I can understand great players have good records against certain teams but that shower of shyte scoring a goal every time we play them was becoming farcical.

Better record than Messi has vs you lot

Win the cup + secure 4th and everybody will wish him well.

0 goals in about 9 games*.

Cech has him shook as fack. Look how precise he tried to be with the pen last season, Cech's length put him off completely.

*not that he hasn't played well against us. Tore Del Horno a new one in 06 and caused problems all night.
