Considering he didn't lose his spot after his performances against Everton and Southampton, he's never in a million miles going to lose it now after two assists
That's the main issue isn't it, I saw this floating around before the game
I wonder if it's still gonna hold true for our next match, that match to me is the ultimate litmus test for whether Jose really has it in for martial (it's crazy but I'm still holding out hope of Jose surprising us and showing a method to his madness)
Reasons for playing martial in the Liverpool game:
1.) The "rotation" Jose is supposedly employing currently
2.) Being fresh after the international break compared to rashford
3.) Being in a better form than rashford (yes even after today, martial is in a better form)
Reasons for starting rashford;
1.) Played well today.. This doesn't hold much water as martial has been dropped regardless of how he performed
2.) Rashford's defensive contributuons
3.) Jose simply prefers him over martial
Interesting to see how it all plays out in two weeks time
