Arsenal 2-1 Reading: Five unanswered questions from FA Cup semi-final, including Szczesny & Walcott

4) How many more chances will Welbeck get?

It was another poor performance from Danny Welbeck in an Arsenal shirt, casting further doubt over his future at the club. Trusted ahead of the in-form Olivier Giroud, the former Manchester United man had minimal impact on the match for the 72 minutes he played, and the team looked noticeably better when he was taken off and replaced by the far superior Frenchman, who is clearly stronger in almost every aspect apart from pace, though it still looks like Welbeck doesn’t know how to use this attitribute to its best effect. His goal against United in the quarter-final was a high point of this season, but he has generally not taken the chances when they’ve come his way and it doesn’t look like there’s any case for him starting the final.
