I knew I had fecked up with the amount of notifications I had on just the one thread, it was inevitable.
I confess I don't follow our youth setup at all so I just assumed the poster wanted greenwood on freekick duties due to his regular striking abilities... That will teach me

Don't worry
probably 80% of people would have never seen Greenwood before he started in the premier league, lots of people are only just discovering his abilities.Let's just say he has plenty more in the locker! with age and confidence he will be even better
Pretty much
Guy is 18 with one senior season under his belt and he already has a “signature move”. Says a lot.
That's great. Yes I see what you mean!
Who are these F2 guys? Do they play for any team?
One was let go by Arsenal as a kid, the other is a free styler. I suppose both are now
About Greenwood's ambidexterity, I play football at an amateur level, I used to consider myself left footed since i was left-handed not until a day someone was confused watching me and asked 'are u left or right footed' before I replied a teammate said 'he uses both feet',that was when i realized how ambidextrous I was I never trained it,it's just natural (although both foot are not identical techniques wise,the right is more powerful while the left is more crafty) I think its similar with Greenwood I don't think he has a weaker foot and its purely natural not practice
Is that you Mason?
TrexON
No, they're YouTube footballers. They do fancy flicks into a bin.
TrexOOOOONNNN
YYYYYeah bois!
YYYYYeah bois!
Can you play right-wing?
I wish
Well yea,am a winger but Woodward wouldn't be able to getit done(work permit issues this time)
Don't worry

Thanks mate
Looking forward to him kicking it up a notch this season, 20 goals all comp?
Martial scored another against Norwich.
Was the Rashford one you mentioned against Newcastle? If so, I don't remember Mata assisting that one so maybe he has two, too?
Around 30
Why don't you down your tools and force the move? Times-a-ticking on the window, you know?
I found it amusing that on Sky Sports they was comparing front three statistics on goals scored in the PL. Do they even realise that Mason didn't even usurp James' RW spot permanently until late Jan/March? If he played an entire season at RW he would have scored 20 PL goals definitely.
Assuming he stays clear of injuries I think he'll be our top goal scorer this season.
Not definitely. In Rashford's breakthrough first season he scored 8 goals in 18 games, in the following season he scored 11 in 53. It's a common trend for a lot of young players after they get "figured out", they start to develop their game in different ways, struggle to bring it altogether with wider responsibilities, and have a period of apparent regression.
Greenwood looks an exceptional talent but it's entirely possible he'll go through that. He clearly isn't one dimensional but if you limit that one key dimension - creating space for a shot in and around the box - then it's possible he could fall into a slump. He's often invisible in the build up so if you limit his direct goal threat, the criticism won't take long to build.
Exactly this.
I wouldn't even say young players, most players who come into the league. Bruno will be the same as well, we are seing signs of it in games where teams starve him of the ball in the final third.
Greenwood, we see him hardly getting the ball now.
I can see a scenario where Greenwood goes 10-12 games without scoring, that can easily happen and fans mood of him changing because he is hardly seen in games.
This is exactly the reason we need more options, young players will be inconsistent.
There was a time when I could shoot very well with my left foot be it volleys, dead balls with power and precision but when I recently played 5 a side I noticed I still had the power on my left but the accuracy was off. I could never dribble with my left foot.
My right foot made up for it though. I had the best shot in my year at school.
From my experience of playing football and predominately being a striker, my shooting was determined by instinct in an actual match. I would find that in training or in a kick about it was actually harder to find that 'instinct' as there wasn't pressure or opponents. I wouldnt even pick out an area of the net even when scoring some right in the top corners.
With greenwood alot of his goals seem like that to me despite them looking so well planned and thought out. Its hard to explain what I mean but ultimately we have one hell of a finisher on our hands and there is not too many of them around - especially being both footed.
A very bright future for him I think.

When Greenwood moves inside to being a true number 9 we will begin to see the best of him. Such a classy striker.
I think all our young forwards would thrive as SS in 4-4-2, either Rashford, Martial, or Greenwood. Greenwood has potential as main striker, but so far most of his goals came from driving from deeper position.
If we sign Telles then Greenwood will need to improve his heading ability because he's going to get lot of crosses from the left flank.
Around 30
Woah, talk about confidence in your players... But I second this!
Like Ole said, dude needs to improve his aerial ability if he wants that striker spot
He has time to do so and can even be a good one without improving that aspect, dude's that good..
Brighton 2:3 Man Utd
Played really well again today, I can’t wait for him to get a run through the centre.
Unfortunately all his good moments came from Rashford being offside Good touch and finish for his offside goal, great ball for Rashfords offside goal. Was quiet apart from that, but I think he'll have a great season. Individually he doesn't ever seem to be sloppy, just gets quiet games.

Individually he doesn't ever seem to be sloppy, just gets quiet games.Whilst AWB was very poor I think Mason needs to improve his defensive side of the game. We were getting rinsed down his side and he did little to help out.
Too many late nights and pussy.
Would like to see him take on the LB on the outside at a bit more often. 9 out of 10 times he cuts inside and runs into a crowd.
Needs to work harder defensively as well.

He's not a right winger. He's an out and out striker. Let's not burden him with defensive duties. Our right sided midfielder needs to help the full back
Think you need to get 3 in midfield so he can play further up on the right, covering less ground going back. think if one of Pogba or Fernandes is out it will balance things out more and Greenwood will benefit. With no control in midfield he’s ending up spending way to much energy.
Was marked by atleast 2 player whenever he got the ball. AWB didn't help him at all today
Agreed. He evidently lacks the stamina to get up and down that wing all day. Consistently looks jelly-legged from around the 60 minute mark. Hopefully youth is the main factor here and his engine will improve over time.
Despite not helping AWB down the right, felt like he made the least mistakes out there today. Looked very tidy under pressure, too, always getting the ball out to a teammate sideways if not forward.
Thought he was poor today and also put a lot of pressure on AWB with his poor defensive work (although AWB didn’t help himself).
That's the autobiography title sorted.
He's protecting the ball really well now and uses it so well, wasn't helped by AWB but there are promising signs in his connection with Martial and Rashford.
