The shot he blazed over with his left foot, Rooney def did have a go at him. He showed some great work and fantastic touches but, did have a couple of wtf Welbz moments. Should have shot earlier when he went for the cross/cut back to Rooney.
What an amazing problem for Fergie to have - start him or Chicha, or even Berbatov. |

Welbeck was unlucky today, it didn't quite go for him. I had to laugh when he did a few step-overs and then kicked it into touch!
He looked lively though and I'm glad Fergie kept him on as subbing him might have knocked his confidence a bit. |

He's great at leading the line already. He works hard, is a physical threat and keeps defenders occupied.
Fergie said he isn't even fully developed physically yet either, what a monster player he'll become

Love how he tracks back and doesnt dwell on a mistake too much. His control is quite good. I really think right now he offers more than Hernandez thats why hes starting but having Chico come off the bench is quite handy as well.
Such a great thing to having so many great young players. Glad welbeck has made it so far. Dont remember the last time a striker came through for us. Hughes? |

He's still all legs sometimes - frightening to think how good he could be when he is really physically fully mature.

He's already such a good player for his age.. I am sure if he's in some other close rival's team and we will be complaining here how come other teams' youth system could produce such a potential strike-force!??
 He really make his presence felt, with his run with the ball.. the shield of ball etc.. |

the best player on the park for the first 45, and by some distance too imo.
liverpool crowded him out a lot better 2nd half which in turn gave rooney the extra space to work in. we've got quite the partnership developing there

That is a tough one to answer. I think both players are fantastic in thier own right, but both offer something different to the team Wellbeck puts in a monster of a shift, works hard and leads the line very well, linking things up nicely. Chicho offers deadlyness in the box, an out and out poacher with real pace and composure in the box. It is a fantastic problem for SAF to have, but think it is right at the moment. Wellbeck to start, Chicho to finish them off from the bench.

This is a tough one and stupid as well.
It depends on form, formation, who's playing in midfield and opponent. Football is not as simple as Football Manager is. |

I love how he pulls high balls out of the air with his big gangly legs.
Lesser players would clumsily knock it away from themselves but Danny pulls it down perfectly and automatically has the opposition defence on the back foot. He also seems to be on a very good wavelength with Rooney (almost Saha-esque from 06/07). Their close passing play around the box is very promising. |

I dont think i've seen a forward win back so many balls from the opposition
His control with back to goal has become first class, his movement is good and his interplay with his team-mates is good Chico is gonna have a tough time getting starts with Danny in this type of form. As someone else mentioned earlier, cant wait to see them link up with Cleverley! |

I still think Hernandez will be better suited to the team once we have a more creative midfielder, whether that being Cleverley living up to his potential or a new signing. We need Welbeck to get more involved in the build up in the absence of a dominant creative midfielder, which isn't Hernandez's strong point.
