Playing Style
Due to his height and running style, Welbeck has been compared to Togolese striker Emmanuel Adebayor and Nigerian striker Daniel Amokachi . He has also been known for his work-rate and has been described as strong, quick, and very good in the air.
Welbeck has been panned for his lack of goals and strike rate as a striker, attributing to his lack of composure in front of goal. However, some critics have acknowledged the strength in Welbeck's style of play such as his work-rate, pace and intelligence in following tactical command, especially after his performance in both of the knock-out stage matches against Real Madrid. Welbeck is regularly picked for England (amassed 11 appearances in year 2012) despite starting just handful of game at club level. With Roy Hodgson favouring the 4-3-3 formation, Welbeck's ability in supporting the attack, pressing the midfield and good in holding up the ball fit into the system.

Famous quotes containing the words playing and/or style:
“No one of the characters in my novels has originated, so far as I know, in real life. If anything, the contrary was the case: persons playing a part in my life—the first twenty years of it—had about them something semi-fictitious.”
—Elizabeth Bowen (1899–1973)
“Style is the dress of thoughts; and let them be ever so just, if your style is homely, coarse, and vulgar, they will appear to as much disadvantage, and be as ill received, as your person, though ever so well-proportioned, would if dressed in rags, dirt, and tatters.”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
