To be fair, Greenwood was similar last season - he drifted in and out of games but the boy was lethal in front of goal. Need more of that

I think it's actually been a decent performance, bar Martial and Wan-Bissaka.
One a liability in attack, the other in both.
He's doing my head in.
4 goals from open play all season and you can see why, he's just no threat whatsoever.
He's like Dirk kuyt without the work rate
That's not quite fair. Since the goal we've dominated them and given them very little breathing room. But we've been sloppy, and some individuals have been poor. We should definitely be scoring a couple of goals in the 2nd half.Not a great half. Fulham look crap, but we’ve worked their keeper so little. We look suspect at the back too and just as likely to give up a big chance.
Penny for Ole’s thoughts on whether he really believes Martial and Greenwood can cut it for a title chasing side.Maybe McTominay or Matic for Martial, get Pogba further up the pitch. He has the vision to unlock that defence.
Rashford might come on also if it stays the same. I don't like how open we are in midfield.
Apparently though, AWB's lack of footballing ability is due to not having a proper RW ahead of him. As if having Messi would help AWB control the ball or not feck up easy passes.
Atrocious footballer, and not made up for by his defensive ability anymore now that his positional play has been exposed. He's slide tackles, and that's it.
What frustrates me the most is that he's been here almost two years and his play on the ball hasn't improved one bit. Is he not being coached or is he uncoachable?Shaw has been our only decent performer.AWB always does a move where he feints overrunning the ball and then passes backwards but I'm starting to think it's not a deliberate feint, he just doesn't know where his touch will end up
The caf thought last season was him kicking on and being 24 it was expected but 6 months later it looks like he isn’t good enough here. These performances are the norm nowWe don't have a right flank - Greenwood is utterly devoid of confidence, and AWB is having a mare.
That's how they play on their ground.
They wait and then hope to get the goal chance as happened for their goal.
Exactly. At least with Mata he's a clever footballer
Now that you mention it, I agree. He also looks like a BlackBerry owner.
The guy has no urgency, doesn’t seem arsed when he makes a mistake. He plays like he interviews – without personality. Awful player.
We’ve plenty of keep ball merchants in the side.We can afford him trying to do something every time he gets it.Rashford on please. I'm concerned about Mason
Can people now see how badly we miss Rashford? He provides penetration, threat and quality in the final third, even with his up and down performances.HT | FUL 1-1 MUKEY EVENT

Not off it but not on it, either. 6
Cavani
Pounced expertly. 7Still lots of work to do. But, man, we simply must always make things difficult for us from the beginning.Wan Bissaka and Greenwood look awful. Hopefully they pick themselves up.
Same time he's been intercepting balls quite well.Right side is non existent, Greenwood struggling to beat his man and AWB struggling to do anything.I mean we’ve been absolute all over them. It’s the same problems: Missed chances, lack of composure, poor first touches and passing. Aside from that we mostly have done alright. We will get chances in the second half and have to bury them.I don’t get how anyone can watch how Martial is playing and decide to give Greenwood stick.
Martial has found some good positions inside the box to be fair. Looks like he has a goal in him tonight. God knows we need one.Players doing silly things tonight.Reverted to our shit starts, i thought we had got over that phase. AWB wake up, that goals on you playing him on.
last 30 minute we have controlled the game and constant attacks but not making many clear chances. I’m sure it will happen 2nd half as Fulham tire.It’s not been great but it’s not been awful either.
AWB has been poor for a fair while now but problem is we don’t have another RB that’s capable of stepping in.
Title winning teams go a goal down all the time, its how you recover that really matters, and we've recovered well and are largely dominating the game
No - let's not pretend he's not been putting in similar performances lately too. Just a lot more offsides.So how many years will go by before sorting out the RW ? It’s literally be 8 years and still nothing. It stands out like a sore thumb for as long as I can rememberAwb has been awful probably the worst attacking full back we've had. Even the likes of oshea and silvestre had far better technical abilityExpected tough game so far against a well organised Fulham. Need more from Greenwood, Martial 2nd half. I'll be more than happy with a narrow United win.
Getting?
Bar maybe 4 or 5 games, he's been lazy the entire time he's been with us.
Every so often hell do something so magic that we all want to look past it but the last 18 months have shown he just doesn't have the mental application or hunger he needs to go alongside his talent.
That's basically thin air.AWB seeing so much of the ball and obviously will do nothing with it. Tbh I have had enough of him. We need to find a player that can demote to the bench.Horrendous passing half, but that's not out of the ordinary for us. It really baffles me how we simply cannot string passes together that supposedly we spend hours in training doing.Also, I'm completely shocked that Maguire has missed a free no-pressure header from a corner. He has absolutely never done this before.- Status
