In the wrong thread pal. The one you must be looking for is the Lingard thread.We lost control when this bone idle cnut came on. and just basically strolled around.
Yeah, even then speed he was going at under pressure I’m not really going to hold that against him but that is the kind of scenario you think he’ll just poke that beyond the keeper as he is coming out. Think Ole even said as much in his post game reaction.Same. Pressed well, looked lively with the ball, shame about that chance he cocked up.
No i aint pal, he's lazy. fecked up a one on one too.In the wrong thread pal. The one you must be looking for is the Lingard thread.
Yeah he was only in the middle for a short period. Not sure the next sub was even needed.Thought those 10 mins he played up top in the 3 5 2 was ace then ole changed the formation with the dalot sub and we hardly touched the ball.
Was that the one on one where he had a player on his back and Pique got a tackle in as the keeper was closing him down. Wait whilst I do some quick math.No i aint pal, he's lazy. fecked up a one on one too.
Why are you doing 'quick math'? We are talking about football, more specifically a one on one that Martial fecked up.Was that the one on one where he had a player on his back and Pique got a tackle in as the keeper was closing him down. Wait whilst I do some quick math.
Agree with that.He needs to start playing centrally as a false 9 - deeper off Rashford & Lukaku.
What's the negatives around that? - especially when Pogba is off form to continously play an extra man for him to play freely up forward.
Yeah my immediate reaction was 'why didn't you dink it first time?' He should have the instinct to do that.Yeah, even then speed he was going at under pressure I’m not really going to hold that against him but that is the kind of scenario you think he’ll just poke that beyond the keeper as he is coming out.

He did score in his last game.I think Martial FC have died from starvation
You know what, I hope he does. Sink or swim, because I'm tired of all of the excuses for him.He did score in his last game.
He should start ahead of Lukaku. At least he's for the technical ability of a Manchester United player.
You would be given you irrationally detest him.You know what, I hope he does. Sink or swim, because I'm tired of all of the excuses for him.
I don't irrationally detest him. Or detest him at all. You guys spin it that way because you cannot handle the criticism of him. At this point everything that I was saying about Martial becomes more and more true. For a long time I have said he has not developed and isn't developing. For a long time I questioned his work rate. For a long time I said his off the ball movement was poor. More people are now noticing these things, the same things I was lambasted for pointing out last season.You would be given you irrationally detest him.
You've offered nothing others don't know. We all know he is technically brilliantly, strong, quick, links up well and a good finisher. We also know his movement and intensity needs improvement for him to reach the level we need him to reach. The difference is that you clearly dislike the fellow and it's apparent to everyone. So it's hard to take your views seriously. But no, it's because the others can't deal with your poignant criticism. Convenient.I don't irrationally detest him. Or detest him at all.

Play him up top and see what he does. Maybe he will fulfil his potential at number 9. Maybe he will work harder in that position, who knows.
You say I offered nothing others don't know but when I was saying these things, I was killed every time. I have patience as well. There's a difference when a player doesn't develop after over 3 years and still has the same excuses made for him time after time.You've offered nothing others don't know.

He's obviously got to prove he can be a top player. But I've got patience for young players like Martial and Rashford who have plenty of potential.
God that chance is giving me nightmares,you don't get many of them against BarcelonaHis touch was a few times. Can't believe he fecked the one that mattered
The way Martial is playing, I'm not sure if he offers more than Lingard. Frankly speaking, I can't even remember the last match in which he really imposed himself in the match and you feel he is a constant threat on the wing throughout 90 minutes. He has regressed from Ole's early days.You've offered nothing others don't know. We all know he is technically brilliantly, strong, quick, links up well and a good finisher.

The Chelsea game is the last one to stand out in my mind. He scored two goals that I can maybe see Lukaku pull off when he's in full confidence, definitely not Rashford.The way Martial is playing, I'm not sure if he offers more than Lingard.

If he can stay fit that is.I'd like to see him get a run of games as the CF.
You are? Well he's not Jesse Lingard that is for sure.You know what, I hope he does. Sink or swim, because I'm tired of all of the excuses for him.
That second touch was poor.
Chance at the end
There is clear pattern in how select few support and bash players. Easy to spot too.You are? Well he's not Jesse Lingard that is for sure.
His first touch was great but his second touch was poor under a hell of a lot of pressure from the defender. What do you want?Should have taken the ball from MCT in stride and scored. Those are the half chances that we need to take against sides like Barca. Looking at that touch, you'd think it was Lukaku who touched it.
I always said Lingard is a squad player. People hype up Martial as a starter that will become one of the best in the world. There is a difference.You are? Well he's not Jesse Lingard that is for sure.
His second touch not to go five yards away from him ideally.His first touch was great but his second touch was poor under a hell of a lot of pressure from the defender. What do you want?
Sometimes you have to say the defence was placed in a position to affect him. I do wonder if he takes that in his stride if he has more minutes under him when the chance appears (eg extra 20+ minutes)His second touch not to go five yards away from him ideally.
