Was always for giving a youth chance instead of those operpaid seniors and still i am but at the moment keep these kids as far as possible from those infected rotten pricks.

Just send away most of the rotten ones and have the youth there without their influence. We're not winning with them so why the feck keep them around?
Agree but we have so many of them, people keep saying how you cant remove and replace 10-15 players in one go and i would agree if we were a normal football club but we aint. I know we cant but we must, already said in some other thread that i would burn this squad to the ground and keep maybe 5-10, otherwise, this replace 3-5 with 3-5 will do feck all for us imo, its like dealing with infection.
I would get rid of them myself and be radical. The mentality in the dressing room is the biggest problem we have. If we don't get rid of it, we'll never move on. It's killing us.
Scoring free kicks with either foot blows my mind.
If I tried to hit a free with my bad foot it would look like I've never kicked a ball in my life.
His goals are super finishes. He’s way too good for u18s but is he a starter for Manchester United? Normally I’d say no but we are so toothless that id be considering giving him a start ASAP. I’d be playing him ahead of lukaku or martial, it really can’t be any worse.
Amen to that
Got to laugh at the madmen wanting us to test out 17 year olds rather than fight for 4th place - genuinely insane.
If we lose to Chelsea then fair enough but the season isn't over by a long way.

If we don’t beat Chelsea it’s business as usual. Unless we lose, then it’s done.
Agreed.
The thing that stands out about him is just how rounded he is. Just looks excellent from a technique point of view. He has really good movement on and off the ball, he scores the simple goals that every top striker needs to have the knack of, he's capable of scoring from range, he can score the finesse types of finishes like Martial, he can score the power type of finishes like Rashford, he looks to be really good at free kicks, he can dribble well and run with the ball with close control which is so rare in our current side and shows that he has a really good natural touch, and on top of all that, he's 2 footed! Players like Cazorla are 2 footed and while Cazorla occasionally took corners with his left foot, I don't remember him taking free kicks with his "weaker" foot (could be wrong).
He's only turned 17 this year so I'd imagine he gets stronger physically, grows more physically, but he has absolutely everything to his game to be an absolutely brilliant striker. The only thing that he hasn't shown is really being good in the air (those who watch the youth sides regularly can comment on that), but with his age, you expect him to grow and get stronger as I mentioned so naturally be more ready for that. Also in his few appearances, he did show a willingness to compete for aerial balls and goes for the headers (compare that to Rashford until basically this season where he would just duck out of them, Martial half ass jumping for headers or Lukaku managing to mis-read the ball and run under it pretty much every time). Very excited for him and surely has to be as promising a talent as we've had come out of the youth team since the class of 92? You just don't see that skill set of decent pace, control, technique, range and versatility of striking the ball/finishing. Hope he can stay fit and physically handle the step up from youth football, because in terms of talent, he has all you need.

I think the point - rightly or wrongly- is that Mason will enhance our first teams play given we've barely had a shot on goal in over 5 hours playing football! Why keep to a losing formula one might argue?
Some of those 30 goals are absolute worldies.
Hope he gets some time in the last two games.

Putting that much pressure on a 17 year old in a must win game is a bit much - we may be in bad form but these are the same players that has us as the 3rd best team in the league since Ole took over.
Let's ease Greenwood in.
I know hes probably missed sitters but he makes finishing look so easy, he knows where hes going to put the ball and you just cant teach that.
Agree 100%. It's huge pressure to throw a kid like Greenwood in to such big games.
If he missed a sitter vs Chelsea like he did vs Wolves and the team ended up losing the game, it would demoralising for a young kid.
Welcome to the first team, lad.
Now that top 4 is basically gone, it's time to bring him in for the last two matches. At least coming off the bench anyway, and possibly just start him.
Some people seem more concerned with our academy players getting games than anything else.
The difference from OGS and Fergie. If none of the attackers are performing and you need a goal you throw in a youth that is playing unbelievable in the youth.
McTominay innit
He's still a kid so don't be dissapointed if he doesn't live upto expectations. Seems like some of you are going overboard with the hype. He's only 17 so go easy on him.
It is the disappointment of the first team. With the academy lads, there is hope they care and bring a fresh wind, not half the rotten squad we have now.
Probably the only upside to being in the Europa is that Greenwood should be making a fair few appearances.
Hopefully will see him for the last 2 games now Rashford and Lukaku are ruled out for definate.
Greenwood start both games hopefully. Gomes, Chong and Garner in the mix too.
Don't think Laird is fit but maybe O'Conner?
Not that all should play huge chunks together but give them some minutes.

Lukaku and Rashford are ruled out with injuries and Martial refuses to run.
I actually think that it's at a stage where not playing Greenwood would be controversial.

I reckon, if he has any talent in him, we'll ruin that and turn him to shit.
This is amazing. I see something that i dont normally see in many of the players we watch in the PL. He not only anticipates where the GK is, but actually knows in almost all of the goals in this vid - his finishes are powerful as well as clever plus he can play/shoot with BOTH feet. I have hope!
My only constructive observation would be, he seems to be a little selfish but then again, this vid is of his goals only so im probably being unfair!

Where have you got that info from about Rashford and Lukaku?
Think Sky Sports were reporting Rashford and saw Lukaku mentioned in some tweets earlier. The Mirror maybe? Cant remember offhand.
Watch us play a front 3 of Dalot, Lingard and Sanchez instead.
Oh thanks, hopefully Greenwood does get the nod then.
I know you're joking but that makes me feel ill.Lingard, Sanchez and Martial are nailed on to start if Rashford and Lukaku are out. Or maybe just two of them, if we go with the same formation again.
Greenwood and Chong will (hopefully) both be on the bench.
It seems like a joke but it’s not.
Even if he just selected greenwood I’d be happy.
As much as I'm disappointed with him, Sanchez need to play for others to show interest on him.
Every time he plays it is less likely anyone will buy him.
It's a catch 22. What he needs to do is making that Michael Owen brochure.- Status
