Against Spurs in the FA cup, he was very good.
Today he played like David N'gog.

Young player in inconsistency shocker.
Didn't see much of the ball, we were so casual in the first half. He had one great chance where he beat the offside trap, i thought he would let it rip on the bounce, shame that.
Bollocks. He was good in patches. If Scholes had turned up while he was on the pitch he might have been given a few more chances.
You can't do much if you don't see the ball.
He's yong & lernin.

Spurs fielded their strongest side possible + this was their CL final. Its natural that a young player would fail to make an impact against that.
Exactly what I was thinking.
But even at that, he threatened in behind quite a few times and linked up with the other attackers a few times.
Which is exactly what he needs to do to add that other dimension to our team.
I was happy with him in all honesty.
has major technical issues, things like controling the football seem to be a struggle for him which is suprising for a united youngster
Bollocks.
The pitch was like a slippery trampoline ffs.
My God. Why do people who've never watched him play feel the need to comment?
only seen him in the first team but every time I have I've thought the same thing, very heavy first touch
Bollocks.
I'm guessing you haven't watched our reserves? If so, probably best not to be so critical of a 17 year old kid in a cup final at wembley. Just a thought like.
In today's game he looked like a kid playing against men. He does that sometimes. Being a kid and all. Playing against men. Fantastic prospect mind you.
Was too nervous apparently cause he had 2 good chances to at least take a shot at the goal but he didn't and lost the ball
Have you not seen him play before today ?
The lad has great feet for his size

Excuse the sounds in this one!!!
Welbeck is a very good player and he is only going to get better.
And yes, today wasn't his best game but they very fact he was seen as good enough to start, spoke volumes

Looked threatening early on, just couldnt quite get himself set. I have high hopes. May need a season on loan soonish, just to get regular games and the development that comes with it.
Made some good runs and his pace took him away a few times but as I've mentioned before, he also has some bad touches as well as some brilliant ones.
Would say he had the worst game of the young players today, but he was 3 years younger than the others so thats nothing to be ashamed of.
The experience will have done him the world of good.

Not too bothered by this performance, he was playing against King, a defender barring injuries would always be in the England squad and 1st backup to either Rio or Terry.
Then of course there's the expected inconsistency, people forget he's 18, he will need time to fill out.

I know he's not the popular youngster right now, but Welbeck came on and looked a threat.
Should have scored the winner himself the poor bugger.

He did everything right to be fair to him it was a good save
he did nothing wrong, great take, and hit it towards the corner.
I'll thought it was over, to be honest, and we weren't ging to get a better chance. (Well technically, we didn't get a better chance, we scored from a half chance)

He could have chipped the keeper.
No Friedel came out big and large; if Welbeck chipped it would have gone straight into his hands.
I rate Welbeck extremely high. As highly as I rate Macheda.
Friedel;s hands were at his knees, it would have needed to be exquisite but it could have been done. Good shot though, but better save. I seriously thought he was gonna score the way that opened up

Just seen it in SSN, would be a good move if true, Sturridge done not too badly there. Would be good to get Macheda out to a similar team for the season too.
There were also rumours that we are negotiating a new contract with him too.
If we're going to loan him out (I doubt it), surely back to Sunderland would be the best option. He's already to some extent part of the team and has a proven combination with Gyan.
Properly kicks off his break-through season in the team by making the goal sheet tonight.
Fergie's giving him a chance like he did with Macheda last season. It's up to him now.
Needs to produce a less eratic first touch.
Pretty much sums him up today so far.
He has really struggled tonight. We should have started Berba and then brought this lad on in the 2nd half.
Perhaps yes, or maybe we could have gone 5 in midfield
For a striker, he has a rather terrible scoring record when given his first team chances....
Agreed, he's been very wasteful with possession. Something you could rarely accuse Berba of.
I was surprised he started to be honest given that he was pretty average against WBA. It's good to see him getting another opportunity though. Hopefully he can produce a better 2nd half performance.
