And with our lacklustre attack should be given a chance in the first team and yet he won't.17 goals and 7 assists in 15 games this season.
I am all for giving young players a chance but right now I think Greenwood would be bullied a little, he’s still quite sleight and probably a little lightweight for the rigours of the league. I would say integrate him in training and such but for now he needs to bulk up and just continue to develop. Don’t get me wrong I would love him to burst onto the scene right now but not just yet.And with our lacklustre attack should be given a chance in the first team and yet he won't.

Also Hazard is as strong as an ox. The others maybe not so much but they rely on their touch and again they are facing the goal for the most part so need other attributes.
Who was the last young 17 year old to really break in to the scene and set it alight. Was Rashford 17 at the time. Think he was a year further forward in to his development. If we’re gonna drift away from Lukaku let’s go with Rashford. He’s 21 if we’re going to go with youth he’s our guy for now. Greenwood has got loads of time last thing we want is to rush him forwards and the extra physicality of the league causing him injury and losing a year of his development.
The u18s have had a good style of play for a couple of years. Both the 18s and the 23s have adopted a city style of play this season. Lots of passing out from the back starting with the keeper. I agree it would be detrimental to masons progress to throw him in the first team now.
Oh I don't think we should chuck the young lads in to a Mourinho first team! But I'm still hopeful in the next too distant future he's going to be gone.Has the Mourinho style made it's way down through the youth team setup?
