Danny Welbeck: Dan Out Ere

[Tir Na Nog]

This happens every season, Welbeck gets a run of games and he comes into good form dispelling the myth that he's a donkey or a poor footballer which seems to spread when either he's injured or is only starting sporadically (tho there are a couple who're constant with their hate of the great man).

Big game player, vital for the Atletico tie. He'll shut the haters up once again.

Nobody touch the thread title now! He's on a mission to prove A-M wrong.

Simeone’s tactics is more than just parking the bus like what Mourinho did.

When the other team is trying to build up from the back, Simeone’s team press high to limit passing options, forcing defenders to make errors.

Mourinho’s parking the bus won’t press high. He would just sit deep with physically strong player.

When the opponent are able to build from the back, Simeone’s team play very narrow and compact. He does that to limit space available in the central areas. But that would leave some space on both sides of the pitch.

Mourinho’s parking the bus would not allow any space to be exploited, not even on the flanks. So all they do is again, sitting deep with physically strong players.

When Simeone’s team is playing counter, it’s by good techniques and clever movements. It’s beautiful to watch everytime they counter, although it does not happen a lot in a match. The whole match maybe boring to some people,
but at least the one or two goals they scored would be very nice to watch.

Mourinho counter with boring long ball and physical play. Boring to watch even on the counter. Even if they scored ten goals in a match, they would all be boring goals. And the match will guaranteed to be boring.

King Welbz will destroy it.

Literally came in this thread to post this.

He seems to be the only Arsenal player who isn't allowed to be rusty after long term injuries.

I missed the game but i watched his highlights. Have to admit I am starting to see what you see. I don;t think he will ever be an elite player but nothing wrong with what we seeing so far and I beleive more is to come.

I've complained about Welbeck as much as anyone but he is currently playing well for us, possibly the best run of games he's had for us, ie not just the odd goal then back to bring rubbish. If he plays his part this week and helps us to the CL final, I'll take back almost everything I've ever said about him.

 

[Ceballinhos]

We need to use this good run of games to sell him at profit his summer.

I hope we're not giving him a new contract.

If he delivers against Atletico and possibly in the final, we should throw money at him Mayweather style.

 

[Beast Incarnate]

Feels like if we are to go and win EL, Danny is somehow gonna be a big part of that!

Tbf he was instrumental when ManUre won the CL.

Not to mention some one of our FA cups

lool Welbeck is a funny guy...

 

[Aevi]

I'm a big critic of his, but if there is one player I know will rise to big occasions, it's Danny. I've got faith he'll put in strong performances against Atletico, moreso than in the likes of Lacazette and Özil.

Lol what?

Özil has more big games performances this season alone than Welbz has in his whole career.

What's the bet this guy is the first in the bin under the new gaffer

I think Özil gets a bad rap in big games, but there are many in which I have felt he didn't have a significant impact. Welbeck on the other hand I think has a fantastic mentality that makes him very effective in big games, despite his lack of technique. Wenger described it well the other day...

"I would say, above all, the qualities of Danny Welbeck... when your back's against the wall, he looks like he has that extra special motivation in his body and in his head, that can give you something special. That's something really exceptional and that you do not find in many players."

...and I'd have to agree. And I feel it isn't a quality to be overlooked. And for all the talent Özil has, I don't think he has that mental quality to the degree Welbeck does. Which isn't to say Welbeck is the better player, because that isn't true, but it does mean Welbeck has something about him that the likes of Özil doesn't. In my opinion anyways.

Physically elite though , no one else in PL has a better power -speed combo than Welbeck , just needs to improve his finishing 10 percent .

It is my opinion that some of Danny's fight was brainwashed into him mkultra style by Fungus

 

[MutableEarth]

Saw the best and worst of Welbeck today. Gave it all the yards and had some good passages of play but ultimately wasn't very effective at parts and had a hand in the debacle that was Atletico's equalizer.

 

[Penn_]

Should’ve put us ahead on 20 minutes. In moments like that he shows why his goal tally is so small.

 

[say yes]

He was brilliant tbh. As were most of our team not playing at CB.
