Play them in a 433, with creative midifelders behind them and they will flourish. Most likely not to the levels of BBC, but the three have potential to be a very good forward line.
In a 4231, no. In a 433 as a right forward, then a yes.Not sold on Greenwood on the right. Talented but I don’t think it’s for him.
GoldMMM?
I prefer when you play a midfield of:
Fred
Matic
Lingard
BBC should have been BBR in that caseIt's either MMA or GRM. Sorry.
I'd like to say that, but I'm not prepared to commit to anything yet due to the number of false dawns we have been subjected to post-Fergie.Are you saying it was a #turningpoint?
Agree things are looking a little better, although I'm not convinced. It's the teams outside the usual top 5 or 6 in the league we seem to struggle with the most, not the bigger teams or the games in Europe. Unfortunately there's plenty of them too.I'd like to say that, but I'm not prepared to commit to anything yet due to the number of false dawns we have been subjected to post-Fergie.
There has been an improvement in the team's overall performance since the Liverpool game, and Martial returning from injury has been a big plus. He and Rashford are showing signs of a blossoming partnership, I lost count of how many times they linked up tonight, throw a fit and firing Pogba into the mix and we have the makings of a halfway decent side.

'Most likely'... indeed.Play them in a 433, with creative midifelders behind them and they will flourish. Most likely not to the levels of BBC, but the three have potential to be a very good forward line.
Take Ronaldo out and they're only fighting with Benzema and Bale. Will Marcus and Martial become better than those guys? Certainly doable. However, anything written that compares young players to anything Ronaldo related gets a bit silly real quick.'Most likely'... indeed.
nah this is worse. in this one rashford's direct comparison is cristiano ronaldo.Still not as bad as my Rashford is as good as Mbappe thread. I’ll plead the 5th.
Which of Rashford or Martial, if either, do you think could possibly become better than prime Bale...?Take Ronaldo out and they're only fighting with Benzema and Bale. Will Marcus and Martial become better than those guys? Certainly doable. However, anything written that compares young players to anything Ronaldo related gets a bit silly real quick.
No they will never come anywhere close to Benzema or Bale man. If you'd seen Benzema play when he was Greenwood's age you'd understand but he was just on such a completely different level it's not even funny, and Martial and Rashford... Come on.Take Ronaldo out and they're only fighting with Benzema and Bale. Will Marcus and Martial become better than those guys? Certainly doable.

We don't know if they'll be better. I don't think Benzema fulfilled his full talent despite him putting up decent numbers at Madrid for a while. I don't think its too far off for someone like Martial or Rashford to reach the top then just digress and just stay there being consistently very good but not quite top level. Bale was amazing, but he didn't get close at all to the Ronaldo level that Real Madrid would have hoped for. Both are examples of players despite being very talented, didn't go to the extra level. I wouldn't expect Rashford and Martial to surpass them but if they are going to make it they would probably be around that level yeah.Which of Rashford or Martial, if either, do you think could possibly become better than prime Bale...?

Mbappe will leave Bale and Benzema in the dust. Neither were generational talents. People appear to mistakenly use this for top 10-15 players of a generation. That's reserved for freaks like Messi and Ronaldo not Benzema and Bale FFS.No they will never come anywhere close to Benzema or Bale man. If you'd seen Benzema play when he was Greenwood's age you'd understand but he was just on such a completely different level it's not even funny, and Martial and Rashford... Come on.
All 3 are very talented players but comparing them to actual GENERATIONAL talent only makes it harder for them. Mbappe can be compared to Bale and Benzema, Martial and Rashford are nowhere near their level sadly.
If you want to compare, Martial might be able to reach the levels of someone like Higuain but even that seems unlikely considering his low work rate and lack of drive but Rashford actually provides a ton of great pressing movement and speed thanks to his work rate so at least he can be considered useful. Unless Martial scores, nowadays he does very very little.
Bale and Benzema have scored 100s of goals in the top tier, CL and league games often winning games entirely on their own with insane consistency. Bale basically carried Spurs alone for 2 years and had some of the all time best performances in the CL first against Inter and then scoring to win the CL and El Clasicos. Benzema is like one of the highest scoring and assisting players in the CL ever and averages more goals a season than Rashford and Martial do COMBINED. And he's done this since like age 19... Martial has played first team football for more than five years, he's close to the finished product, it's honestly insulting and delusional to say he's going to reach their levels as if it's nothing... If Benzema and Bale didn't reach that "extra" level, no one but Messi and Ronaldo did ffs.We don't know if they'll be better.

You're right they did go extra level if you compare with worse players.Bale and Benzema have scored 100s of goals in the top tier, CL and league games often winning games entirely on their own with insane consistency. Bale basically carried Spurs alone for 2 years and had some of the all time best performances in the CL first against Inter and then scoring to win the CL and El Clasicos.

Although again, at least Rashford tries his best and works hard so easier to empathize with him, but talent wise... Come on.
