It’s hard to get mad as he’s capable. Does need to get his head up a bit more in the box though.
I don't understand why Ole refuses to have front three switch around during the match :mindblown:

Greenwood belongs in the middle and Rashford can do the job on the right. Give him at least 10 minutes upfront.

They're both average.
Best CB in the Prem outside of VVD at dominating the area aerially and winning almost everything in the air. Make severals key tackles and blocks every single game.

Fans out here negating the above with 5 second clips of him looking clumsy/misplacing a pass:mjgrin:.

We are 1000x better defensively with him in the team than out of it. He was shaky at the start of the season but in the last couple of month’s he’s been good. Put a good partner next to him and it’s an elite CB partnership.

This narrative must stop:scust:

I tend to agree with Ole and think Greenwood isn’t ready to play #9. He’s a superstar but he’s awful in the air as of now.

Don’t get me wrong Martial is no Duncan Ferguson but he’s proved he can be ok in the air as well as lead the line(tho granted he’s had a poor season thus far in that respect compared to post lockdown).

Greenwood is a hell of a finisher but he doesn’t necessarily have that poachers instinct yet. It’ll come though.

I understand the mans a goal scoring machine, but you cant shoot into a crowd of 4 when theres a pass in the box. He's young and talented so i don't blame him for playing like kobe :russ:

I agree, that's why I'm saying some rotation during the match.

Greenwood on the right the whole time is too predictable, especially with zero threat from AWB.

I would rather have Bruno slipping him a few passes in through the middle and Rashford keeping the left fullback on his toes, than Greenwood cutting in and shooting from a bad angle the whole match :manny:

See?:beli:

Why do we play to hold a lead, instead of finishing the game off?
