Rafael in central midfield ........... weird
Takes off Chicha and leaves Welbeck on even though the former has recently developed a great understanding with RVP and Welbeck was awful tonight ................................weird
Plays Kagawa for the whole match even though he looked like he had never ever played football before ................................... weird
Thankgod for Van Persie .......................................not weird
Giggs comes on to play a big role and set up a late equalizer for us with an outstanding long pass ........................... weird
Ferguson's decisions

someone asked "Is it good enough for a striker to play well without scoring? "
that question in my opinion defines welbeck. A brilliant player who does not seem to score. Is he unlucky, or just not predatory enough.

If given a run of 20 games in a row as No.9 I'm certain he'll finish that run with 1 in 2.
People speak of his goal return this season and compare it to the other three forwards. Why? He's played as a No.9 on about 3 occasions. It isn't a fair assessment and just not in proper context. Compare him to our wingers and that is a fair comparison.
Welbeck's all round game is improving, he's scoring for the national team and has tons of technical ability given his size and build. At 22, considering how he played last season and what he has achieved in his young career so far, he will be more than fine.
When he's 25/26+ I think he'll be a beast of a centre forward,I really do.

WTF you on about with Kagawa? He wasn't particularly influential in the game, but he was class on the ball. His touch and control is a joy to behold.
-----------------------------------------------------------
It wasn't tonight mate, the ball got away from him on numerous occasions due to a poor first touch, was also caught napping on the ball a few times as well, i like his energy and industry but you could say the same about ji sung.

I agree completely. but he will not get that at utd atm. I also appreciate that is all round game is improving. I for one am a big fan of the lad, I meet him when he was still in the reserves
my only concern is that he might lose his identity as a striker.

How could u give him a run of 20 games in a row. We would be so far behind in the league we would never catch up. He didn't do to bad today

Like last season...

I also agree if he playe regularly he'd score. But he doesn't and won't. So the solution is simple. Don't play him.

Agree. Perfect solution

His interchange with Cleverley was brilliant, particularly in the first half

you can tell they grew up together.
Me and my brother had a similar understanding.
Although we were more effective on playstation than in real life

Welbeck needs time and games. That is all.
The ability is definitely there
