You're right about

Both have pace
Welbeck defends
Welbeck is stronger
Welbeck is better in the air

But when he's on form, Theo is a devastating finisher.

The issue with Theo is that when he isn't on form, he tends to be an absolute passenger whereas Welbeck continues to offer something to the team even when he doesn't score.

Yes, Welbeck offers shit positioning, a shit first touch and shit movement. So bad players don't bother passing to him.

Bring back Gervinho if we are going to play turds.
