Genuinely surprised by the way he took that shot... Never seen him wildly swing at a ball like that.
Maybe he's been hanging round with Fred.

To be fair to him, I think if he tries to guide that in it’s not going to have the power and VVD blocks it or Allison plucks it out the air. Kinda had to put the laces through it but have to check it again but felt like he could have gone for the near post.Think he saw VVD coming and rushed the shot.

I'm not, VvD was closing in fast after his touch. He didn't have time to really place the ball, still should have hit the target.Genuinely surprised by the way he took that shot... Never seen him wildly swing at a ball like that.

Did look like VVD closed him quickly but I would expect Martial to be cool and find the finishTo be fair to him, I think if he tries to guide that in it’s not going to have the power and VVD blocks it or Allison plucks it out the air.

Even still... That was very wild, even under pressure he is usually way more cool and better technically.I'm not, VvD was closing in fast after his touch. He didn't have time to really place the ball, still should have hit the target.
what exactly is the excuse? Did he have multiple opportunities that he missed? Do you expect him to score every single opportunity per game? He was decent to say the least so what exactly is the excuse? You guys always expect the impossible when you know what are team is working with.No one talks about win-rate w-w/o Martial anymore
Still a long way to go for this lad
Excuses aplenty here whenever he fails
Was it more a volley?Even still... That was very wild, even under pressure he is usually way more cool and better technically.
Not his biggest fan but was ok today, his usual cool finishing deserted him but worked hard and apart from a couple of poor decisions was good.No one talks about win-rate w-w/o Martial anymore

There is pressure when the ball is on the ground, and pressure when the ball is in the air. If it was on the ground, I think he would have been more composed, but he pretty much had to fire a shot right at the second bounce or VvD gets to it. He also looked like he lost a split second of balance sliding through, TAA seemed to clip him with his leg. I think he had the right idea once he chested it, but he didn't strike it right.Even still... That was very wild, even under pressure he is usually way more cool and better technically.
He didn't fail, though. He, along with Fred, was our only player that resembled a footballer.No one talks about win-rate w-w/o Martial anymore

Just don't bother.what exactly is the excuse? Did he have multiple opportunities that he missed? Do you expect him to score every single opportunity per game?

The funny and ironic thing is that same lot are the same people who can't shut up pre game telling everyone how Liverpool will overun us and we'll be lucky to not get a pasting then turn around later and pretend to be surprised that we'd actually lost and our attacking players hardly saw any ball.what exactly is the excuse?

I am afraid we will play him too much he will pick up an injuryI’m afraid that without Rashford he’s gonna sink into his shell again under pressure to score goals.
Thought he was ok today but was disappointed with some of his passing
Well that’s also a high possibility! Then we’re stuck with a lad who’s barely turned 18 and no one else. Lingard or Mata false 9 again..I am afraid we will play him too much he will pick up an injury
We need footballers, not almost-theresHe didn't fail, though. He, along with Fred, was our only player that resembled a footballer.
I think that's very harsh under the circumstances. Bar obviously burying his chance, I don't think there's much more he could've done on his own.We need footballers, not almost-theres
Resemblance is failure
It's not that he wilts but he just isn't meant to be main goal scorer. Firmino for us would be just as rubbish with James on the right, Brandon Williams or Lingard on the left, Pereira behind him - even Rashford playing on the left would only get a quarter of the best out of such a player.I'm astonished he missed that chance to be honest.
Think he's gonna have a whole load of pressure on him now without Rashford there, he's been good this year in all honesty but I'm worried because he wilts under pressure.
He usually get injured when the pressure is on. We'll see.I'm astonished he missed that chance to be honest.

Does Rashford also wilt under pressure? He was pretty bad when Martial was out.I'm astonished he missed that chance to be honest.

Stop it with your common sense!Does Rashford also wilt under pressure? He was pretty bad when Martial was out.
I see it as the less quality we have on the pitch, the more the quality we do have will struggle. Seen it with Pogba and Rashford already.
He just can't be relied upon. Good player on his day, but he doesn't have that many days.
It was a damn good chance whatever way you look at it.Again, his chance was not a sitter.
Would you take Firmino? If Martial has Rashford to his left and a Salah-type player to his right he wouldnt have to score 20 goals himself.He’s got a role at the club, but we aren’t winning the league or getting 85+ points with him as our number 9. Not sure I ever see him bagging 20 league goals.
