Ole has been exactly right to ease him in. There's a reason the transition has worked so well. It's time for him to become a regular starter now, but that doesn't mean it was a mistake not to just chuck him in at the start of the season and demand 20 goals from him.Imagine if Greenwood had started most of the games this season.

I don't think @freeurmind was saying it was wrong to ease him in, to be fair.

I doubt that would have benefited him. Let's see next season, when he will double his Premier League starts.Imagine if Greenwood had started most of the games this season.
Yep. Guy is tosh.Firmino has just 9 goals overall this season?
Lack of assists relative to most of the other trios, is I suppose indicative of a dearth of creativity in our front three. To take us to the next level, we need a right winger who will lay chances on a plate for whichever two of Rashford/Martial/Greenwood are starting.

*Removed Dortmund as it's hard to calculate Haaland mins breaking CL, German and Austrian league and cups. They should be right at the top when it comes to mins per goal + assist.

Defensive striker.Firmino has just 9 goals overall this season?
Yeah. Aguero, Sterling, Jesus stand out as it is usually one of Aguero and Jesus starting with them being subbed for each other.Feel like this stat needs another column which tells you how often they actually play together...
It's not like he doesn't get chances, he is 3rd in most shots taken, 4th in shots taken from 6 yard box, 3rd in shots from penalty area.Defensive striker.
The man is one of the most overrated player by pundits and the Caf. He gets showered in praised but his output is mediocre for a striker. The man has scored once at home this season yet you have the likes of Carragher and Sky claiming that he's the most complete striker in the league.
Complete delusion.
The top of world football?This is the thing that brings me the most joy also.
Our academy really has done a wonderful job in the last 10 years or so, so many bright talents. What other club can boast they have 2 star homegrown talents at the top of world football?
That’s Bobby for you. Mr ‘so much more than goals’. Con artist.Bobby No Goals getting shown up big style here, @Rozay...
Aye.That’s Bobby for you. Mr ‘so much more than goals’. Con artist.
Didn't you realise they're in the premier league mate? hardly conference south is itThe top of world football?

Yep.It's not like he doesn't get chances, he is 3rd in most shots taken, 4th in shots taken from 6 yard box, 3rd in shots from penalty area.
He has xG of 15.6 and scored 8 league goals.
Also shows how players are rated based on team's results.
The difference to how they treat Firmino as opposed to say Martial is ridiculous. Martial has more than twice the goals yet all you ever hear is 'needs to do it more regularly'Defensive striker.

Even after a hattrick, all I heard were negatives as how Martial has never done it enough or doesn't show consistency etc. There is no such thing is impartial punditry anymore. There's an opinion which has already been formed about certain players and facts and stats just get in the way.The difference to how they treat Firmino as opposed to say Martial is ridiculous.

I actually do think Greenwood has been underused this season. He's got 3 times as many goals as Dan James in half the starts. I know he's young but 5 league starts? Not enough imo, especially in a team that struggles to score. The things with Ighalo staying and Sancho seemingly on the way, I don't see a huge jump in opportunities for him in the first team next season.I don't think @freeurmind was saying it was wrong to ease him in, to be fair. Just highlighting how impressive the stat is by saying one of them isn't even a regular starter.
I'm hoping Ole considers Greenwood as our first choice right attacker from here until the end of the season now, though. If he becomes a consistent starter for the remainder of the season, coupled with having Bruno and Pogba together at last, I can see these tree moving even further up this specific table!
In a winning team, it all gets plastered over. It'll be interesting to see who Liverpool go for in the transfer window. There is some refreshment of competition needed.The difference to how they treat Firmino as opposed to say Martial is ridiculous.

With Pogba and Bruno they’ll definitely come next season. Bruno is already 3 goals and 3 assists in 7 PL games.These stats do show we need more goals from midfield.
Given the payment clauses left for Martial are unlikely to be met, it's less than that I think? c£46m?21.3! That excites me, they are only going to get better.
