I would actually like to see Nketiah get a chance - we apparently sacked off a very talented young Dutch striker in the summer (Donyell Malan) to ensure room in the squad for young Eddie, so should back him to do well. Have a feeling Lacazette will be back before too long though
Redgunamo "It's not as though he's in the team for his goal-scoring, is it. "
The centre forward?
Right (not)

To be fair Red is 100% correct. He is not in the team for his goal scoring, centre-forward or not.
He is in the team because we have absolutely no other option. One other option is injured and the other ineligible to play.
He is the football selection equaivalent of being at the very bottom of the barrel and finding a Mancunian shít****.
Danny is a victim of the 4231 revolution.
Would’ve been great in a front 2 like that old Yorke and Cole partnership.
Injuries and having to be far more skilful and fleet footed in attack hasn’t helped him. These days a winger like Mo Saleh can make hay in role previously occupied by a old school Shearer / Giroud type.
I suppose we should take some blame for this...I mean we did take a winger in Henry and turned him into a phenomenon goal scorer.
Quite like the lad but most likely off in the summer...I mean Lacazette can’t get a game and it’s only a matter of time before Eddie is banging down the door for a start.
Well yes
Kind of
Welbeck is in the team to make up the numbers as a last resort (fitness, game time etc.)
However, in his position it would be nice if he could you know have a go at putting the ball in the net while he is there
Same as if we had an inexperienced keeper in the goals - last choice but if he could keep the shots out it would be nice of him to do so
If it's not too much bother
