Needs to buy giggs a pint today
. I think he just got really tired at the end, thus lack of concentration and composure resulting in all those missed chances. However, I really like his style of play and he runs his socks off for the team.

Did really well dropping deep today, trying to fill the void left by Rooney.
Didn't help him that Hernandez didn't have the best of games, but I thought Welbeck played well. Love how he always tries to stay on his feet (or at least, did today) and doesn't go down too easily. Ashley Young, take note. |

Not the first time this season he has completely mistimed a simple point-blank header. The coaches should get him on the same training program Rooney was on a couple summers ago.

How is missing 2-3 sitters a "fantastic shift" for a striker? Strikers should score goals - when he plays as a striker and misses chances like that its a shit shift.

Were pretty bad misses all three of them. He didn't connect with the ball properly on every single one. It is his most obvious weakness. Being a striker that's a poor finisher. Almost everything else is good.

Does absolutely great with his movement, and link up, then loses composure at vital times in front of goal. He's an exact opposite of Hernandez at this moment.

Combine both and what would we have? I really hope his finishing can improve, which in all likelyhood it will because he'll be a complete beast of a player. His first touch too can be a bit shoddy at times i feel but his workrate and willingness make up for it.

Played well except for when it came to putting the ball in the net. He played better than Hernandez today but you'd have to think he'd have put away at least one of Danny's chances. Perhaps a bit unfair as Hernandez made a bit of a mess of his one chance.

To me, it's clearly obvious he's going to be a star.
He will have occasional games like this (wasting chances), but let's be fair, despite a poor game he was the one striker offering something and had some great moments. He's still my preferred partner for Rooney when he's back in the team. |

Yeah, maybe I was a bit harsh. Thinking about it now I thought he played very well in the first half. He started the second really poorly but he improved as the half went on. But he is a striker after all and he should have taken at least one of those chances.

His link up play wasnt even good. In the first half it was decent, but in the second half it was terrible up untill Norwich scored. Our midfield held the ball well but whenever they gave it to our front two we conceded posession within seconds. |

Patience people patience. He's class but he's still learning, his development in recent years has been fantastic and it's great we have options like him, Hernandez and Berbatov to choose from.

I'm sorry but he wasn't. Strikers job is to score goals. That's what he is. A striker. And he failed at scoring today on multiple occasions and it almost cost us big time. Thankfully it didn't.
