The shit right there is one of the reasons I rate Welbeck so much especially in the big games, he’s always bombing about and doesn’t allow anyone time on the ball, I love it.
It’s underapreciated, but Fergie dropped Rooney for Welbz against Real for this reason. Welbz would also be more prolific if he focused his energies on goal scoring and being less of a team player.

It’s true though, I remember how little we liked our posts between each other despite being pillars of pro-wengerism on the old forum. I was more of a Mr Arsenal guy, or itstape, or maradroga, or patrice before he went mad and we started hating eachother, lol.
Scoring is about getting in the right positions and getting enough chances. Welbeck is good enough to score 1 in 5 chances, which is where Suarez typically was too. But Suarez averaged 5.5 shots a game, Welbeck averages about 2. If Welbeck focused completely on finding space and getting behind the defenders shoulder he’d score more than when he continually tracks back and defends and ends up nowhere near goal.
If Welbeck had it in him to score more then he wouldn’t have been utilised as a willing runner for his whole career by successive managers. Wenger and Ferguson wouldn’t waste a top striker by getting them to do donkey work someone less talented could do.
I just don’t think Welbeck has it in him, but that’s just my two cents
