Indeed. I said after 20 mins vs. City that it was a perfect game for Hernandez because we had so much possession but no cutting edge, Hernandez gives us that.
The way pocco talks it's like we're comparing Messi with Klose, rather than Hernandez with Welbeck.
There were plenty of posters who used to openly dislike/hate him. They've all seem to gone quiet lately though
I cant remember what team it was, but I visited another football forum one day and in their "most hated footballers" list, I was stunned at how many said Welbeck. I genuinely cant see whats to dislike about him. I honestly don't see it.

I think it was his cockiness after scoring that beauty for the first team and then another in the CC (I think), I remember hearing that SAF and the coaching staff didn't like it either. This probably led a few people, especially supporters of other clubs to get the wrong idea about him when in reality it seems he's as nice a lad as you could hope for.
Yes, it shows that I rated this player before the masses. I was able to formulate my own opinion without being influenced by the consensus of popular opinion.
A common and nonsensical excuse applied by people who know they're being daft: "It's not me, it's my human nature!"
He gave you examples of people that 'hated' him a while back. The fact that he found two examples of people that hated him, for no apparent reason, says that Brwned and KM were right in saying it. You're just nitpicking. I don't remember Welbeck ever having a shit attitude or any other flaw that would make people hate him.
I'm with you now. I was just showing that both sides of the Hernandez on argument were on display against Everton. He scored the winner, but he was also often sloppy in possession and should have set up a goal for Welbeck.
Does there have to be a Messi vs Klose gulf in order for you to recognise it? This is your problem, not mine.
he has been excellent so far, no complain about his link up play whatsoever, but just hoping he could be a bit brave to have a go and try to shoot when he gets near the penalty box, i think he often took one touch too many at times and get closed by the opposition defenders...apart from that he has been very good for us..it is easy to forget that he is only 20..if he can just improve and fulfill his potential he will be a top class forward for us..
Rubbish, all humans/players mature, some sooner than others, especially footballers, due to the intense scrutiny. A perfectly valid argument.
It actually is human nature though
The same way a woman can be repulsed by a man and his actions only to later learn to love the exact things she's hated to start off with.
I thought all people understood this? Being able to change your mind about things/people/places is part of being human.... FACT! It aint up for debate Laphroaig.
Hating a 18yr old academy player just because he isn't good enough is not human nature tbf.
No mate, but recognize it in the correct sense:
Really? Considering the way we were playing at the end of last season compared to what? 2-3 games we have played well with Welbeck in the team this year?
This is my favorite of all your quotes though. Danny has plenty of weaknesses too you know. IMO right now he has more weaknesses then Hernandez due to Hernandez knack of winning games even when having an off day.
Obviously not, but disliking a player's apparent cockiness for example IS.
This was probably bollocks printed in the Mirror though. Personally, I didnt think there was anything wrong with the Usain Bolt celebration, which caused a little stir among some posters.
Me neither. I loved it. But then I used to appreciate Henry's celebrations too, and I know that A LOT of poster's didn't! In fact, plenty of posters disliked Henry because of his arrogance.
I really miss his genuine stupidity.Stuff like "Delfouneso > Pato" or "players cannot improve technically" are priceless.
He certainly was a "star/special boy"
Nonsense. Everything we do is in line with human nature (or else we couldn't do it), so the explanation becomes void. It's also human nature to ask yourself when you hate (or something slightly weaker) a player in the team you support whether it's unfounded bollocks. When you realise that it is, which you would when it came to Welbeck, you let it go. To bear irrational grudges against your team's players isn't any more "human nature" than to not do so, so your "explanation" is simply a rationalisation. "It's human nature" is a cop out for spineless, unthinking people.It actually is human nature though

Nothing was wrong with Danny, wasn't it Macheda with the poor attitude that ppl were complaining about ?
The only thing that was wrong with DW was that he got games on the LW instead of being played as a FWD... As usual it was the progress in Sunderland that made him a man, he didn't have the strength + technique like an 18 yr old Ronaldo thus he needed a bit more time.
He's going to be a big player for us if he keeps developing... Welbeck-Rooney-Hernandez will be a joy to watch in the coming years...

Correct, end of debate then.
Although why you would write "nonsense" and then confirm the reality is bizarre to say the least.
He wasn't rude in the interview ffs the question was for him!!
Woah, sorry about that, had a bit of a flashback.
