I'm not throwing shít at him; I'm not suggesting he's a rubbish footballer or that he should get out of my club, as I believe is the current fashion. I'm simply pointing out that his performance was truly, spectacularly awful.
There was nothing in his performance that we haven’t seen from him before, though. It was standard Welbeck ineptitude - albeit unleavened by any of the more positive sides of his game.
