Not necessarily, it depends on the set up and with the way we are playing, I see him getting more chances from right side.
Re other bold part, it's not just about finishing. Greenwood won't get chance to run at defenders all the time if he plays as CF, his game will be restricted fighting with CBs for possession, unless he drops deep to get few touches on the ball.
Greenwood will have chances to go after defenders similar to his goal yesterday except it will happen through the middle over longer distances. It happened all the time for the youth sides. Greenwood isn't some player who wants to dribble past players from a stand still or anything. He's great at running at defenses when on a counter where he can decide which foot he wants to strike the ball with. He's not like Rashford.
Greenwood's technique is good enough to string play together up top.
Well, he is currently playing at a high level as an inside forward. Your take is the speculative one, you said that you want him up even though that's not where he is currently performing and showing great promises. I'm just wondering why it would be better to have up front instead of where he currently is.
I see someone that could be a Ronaldo/Robben type of wide player and think that it is extremely valuable. Quality strikers aren't as rare as quality inside forwards.
Of course my take is a speculative one, but it's a transition that many players undertake. Martial just did it.
We look at the qualities of a player and we can decide whether a player can perform a role or not. We look at their history as a youth player too. We can draw from these two things and estimate where a player can shine. If a player who is an amazing striker at youth level (unlike Rashford) is brought up to play first team football, but is shunted out wide precisely because we want to protect him and he shines, does that all of a sudden mean he can't play his natural position? Or does it mean that he's such a quality player that it didn't matter if you played him out wide, he was always going to succeed?
How does a player even play up top if we've decided in order to break in at first team level they must play out wide and if they fail, they can't play at first team level, but if they succeed they can only play in that position?
Greenwood has the quality to play up top. He has the technical ability to link up play, he has the finishing ability in abundance.
Of course I will be fine if we bring in Sancho and put him out on the left and keep Greenwood on the right. I just wouldn't be surprised if Greenwood is also capable of benching someone like Martial in the next 2-3 seasons.
