I must say, I've seen some inept centre-forward displays in my time. Indeed, I've been responsible for some truly remarkably inept centre-forward displays. But that display... either he's injured or he's taking the piss.

He was never that great technically and now the injuries seem to have taken away his pace. He’s mostly useless at this point.

I know in this day and age we must throw **** at anyone who hasn't scored a hat-trick within 5 minutes of being on the pitch but do you not think that maybe, just maybe after so long out and with so many stalled comebacks, a man might require some game time to rediscover his rhythm? I ask this of you as you are normally more sensible than the other baboons committing here.

He was impressively **** though

Trust me, I spent some hours last night trying to balance my incredulity at his performance against the reality that he has every right to be rusty - but I'm sorry, his movement was sluggardly, his reactions blunt and his touch simply dreadful. Really. He looked injured to me.

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.

On the plus side Eddie Niketiah can get more game time now. Thought he looked great against Norwich.

Will Lacazette be back by the time we play someone half decent*

* - there aren't any fully decent teams in the EL.

His own teammates were a bit pissed off with him tbf. Can't be easy when you are out of touch and you have two such wonderful footballer in Mhkitaryan and Özil making the game look so ****ing easy. I was quite impressed by their centre forward actually - looked a handful

[Rich]

Napoli, Dortmund, Athletico, Milan. Not fully decent?

Not really. If they were fully decent they'd be in proper competition. The one we used to be in every year :-(

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.

[Billy Goat Sverige]

Napoli, Dortmund, Athletico, Milan. Not fully decent?

Napoli look like they’re going out. Dortmund might struggle to get through as well after that result last night.

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

[Sir C]

The great thing about football is that even if your touch and timing are off, you can still contribute to your team by simply putting in a great effort. Make more runs, close people down, bust a gut, don't bother touching the ball, but he didn't.

I say again, he looked injured.

[Sir C]

The team leading Serie A isn't 'fully decent'.

Right.

Ghoddos? Yes he was quite impressive. They turned down a £5m bid from someone for him in the January window. Quite disappointing that he choose to play for Iran instead of Sweden. Him and Forsberg could’ve been a good combination on the wings.

[Sir C]

Napoli look like they’re going out. Dortmund might struggle to get through as well after that result last night.

Napoli might decide to play their first team and sail through if they fancy it. And underestimating Krauts is a mug's game, b.

You may well have a point - there were certainly a couple of balls you would expect him to chase that he gave up on early. Mind you is a bit nippy so I expect he was quite happy to be substituted as well

Seems more like you’re underestimating Atalanta and Red Bull Leipzig :rolleyes:

That's the one - didn't realise that about playing for Iran, that's a shame.

Some result for Leipzig last night

I agree. It's not as though he's in the team for his goal-scoring, is it. The whole point of him is he makes runs, closes people down, busts a gut and doesn't try to touch the ball too much; if he's not even doing those things, there must be more to it.

[Sir C]

You may well have a point - there were certainly a couple of balls you would expect him to chase that he gave up on early. Mind you is a bit nippy so I expect he was quite happy to be substituted as well

His sort don't like the cold, you mean? :-(

Was quite shocked to see that. Although Napoli rested quite a few and you’re asking for it when you do that against a good side.

[Burney]

Rating for Ghoddos?

[Burney]

:nod: Positively Noadesian work from la, there.

[redgunamo]

:nod: Would've poked his nose outside the dressing room and decided, on balance, he'd be better off spending the evening toasting his toes in front of the fire in the rub-a-dub.

#Welbz, I mean, just to be clear. Not LA.

He's from Manchester, r. He'd consider last night 'a touch nippy'.

[Luis Anaconda]

Rating for Ghoddos?

nice, b, nice

[Luis Anaconda]

Was quite shocked to see that. Although Napoli tested quite a few and you’re asking for it when you do that against a good side.

I was half watching that and half watching Celtic - thought when Napoli went one up it was all over. Impressive response. Always good to see Pepe Reina look mystified

Yes - I was in the pub well before kick off. Foul evening here

[redgunamo]

Right. Especially in our side, where they're mostly forced to stand around waiting for our midfield to stop showing off and ball-hogging.

Really? That bad??

I only saw snippets because of my commute and other shít.

He is fúcking useless all the same isn't he. I don't mean to be cruel but to be fair we have always been very generous to the lad.

Of course. We do love an honest trier.

[IUFG]

Really? That bad??

He played like he was on ketamine.

I'll reserve judgement on him until he's played a few more games before his next injury (poor bloke).

He needs to get back to his level of 'a little bit shít' before back to warming the bench / physio's table.

[Viva Prat Vegas]

Redgunamo "It's not as though he's in the team for his goal-scoring, is it. "

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****.

Even Chuba Akpom is out on loan. Although, as you keep telling us, he is **** :rolleyes: amazing that managers of the pedigree of Ferguson, Wenger and Mourinho rate him highly

[Tony C]

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.

Of course you are fully aware that to describe any professional footballer as being shíte, especially one employed within the PL (i.e. the peak of professional football in the UK) is a throwaway comment as opposed to a statement of absolute definition.

Of course, you throwaway rather a lot. Not environmentally friendly, sw. Not at all

[Viva Prat Vegas]

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

[SWv2]

Of course, you throwaway rather a lot. Not environmentally friendly, sw. Not at all

Perhaps I do but then I am merely a product of my environment and the fast pace of life we live.

Life would be different if when discussing a footballer or a match, in a pub for example the conversation were to go – “Welbeck missed a few chances and failed to control the ball on occasions but we must remember he is a highly trained professional athlete with skills and abilities beyond the dreams of mere people like us. Indeed a succession of very successful managers have chosen to select him in their teams so that alone speaks for his quality”.

To simply say “Welbeck is shíte” is preferable.

He is even shíte on the PS.

Indeed if he were employed in N17 we would all to a man take great pleasure in declaring how shíte he is.

How dare any decent Arsenal supporter question Welbeck's ability on the back of an appalling performance given the long and comprehensive body of outstanding work that all of us have observed since our genius manager acquired him from a rival who had no financial impetus for selling him whatsoever.
