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:
“And there were present
the Picninnies,
and the Jobillies,
and the Garyulies,
and the great Panjandrum himself,
with the little round button at top;
and they all fell to playing the game
of catch-as-catch-can,
till the gunpowder ran out at the heels of their boots.”
—Samuel Foote (1720–1777)
“We are often struck by the force and precision of style to which hard-working men, unpracticed in writing, easily attain when required to make the effort. As if plainness and vigor and sincerity, the ornaments of style, were better learned on the farm and in the workshop than in the schools. The sentences written by such rude hands are nervous and tough, like hardened thongs, the sinews of the deer, or the roots of the pine.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
