Spot on.
I just disagree with it and its unfair to lump Martial in with Pogba. Martial has shown he has a good mentality and wants to succeed at Utd which can't always be said about Pogba. Why do you think that poster has referred to them together, they are in entirely different circumstances?
why don’t you let them explain. I don’t and can’t speak for other people.
Ive thought this for years but you get hounded out for any criticism of Martial. Thankfully we have a proper striker now to highlight an area that really needs strengthening.
Balanced post but will be ignored in the extremes that is Caf.
The criticism that is hounded out are the generalizations that he is lazy and inconsistent and doesn't care as per the body language experts.
He’s fine out on the left but I’ve always thought him just not good enough to be our main striker. I’m an old fashioned guy and like to see a proper CF up front and watching Cavani this last two games has only reinforced my views. I’d be more than happy with Rashford and Martial rotating on the left and maybe Rashford on the right even but I’m always of the mind that a good ruthless CF is the best option.
So you are a die-hard Martial fanboy and that's why you slate Rashford so much? Tony has be abysmal this season, worse than Greenwood. Red card, own goal, not showing anything in front of goal.
Is this another one of your fachts?
Unfortunately, it is, which is a shame because Martial is one of my favourite players. However, I don't let personal agendas affect me, I judge what I see.
Are you both Benitez and Wenger now?
Worse than Greenwood? You're embarrassing yourself.
Yes. Greenwood is still a novice in professional football, Martial is 25 in a week and should be our starting number 9.
Fergie wont tolerate his lazyness.
What's age got to do with it? You said Martial's been worse than Greenwood this season. Greenwood has been absolutely terrible, Martial has been on a goal drought but still offers good hold up play, good dribbling and good presence up front. I'm disappoimted by his season so far but there is no need to talk shit.
If Greenwood is some kind of novice and 25 year old Martial has mastered his craft, then i hate modern day football thats all i can say.
Different expectations. Greenwood has looked more dangerous, even this game he missed some great chances, but his movement was fantastic for his age. I expect a lot more from Martial, inexperience is no longer a viable excuse.
Martial would have been Ferguson's Berbatov
I'll always stick for him and he's an incredible talent, but he has to fight for a spot in the first 11 currently. I'd say it's between him and Greenwood.
The expectations mean absolutely nothing when your original statement said he's been worse than Greenwood. I expect much more of Martial than we've seen so far this season but he's definitely been better than Mason.
cavani has shown in the minutes he’s played that he’s far more than a poacher.
Martial hasn't really been any lazier than Rashford has been over the last 18 months or so. Before that obviously there was a fair difference, but during that time Martial has improved his workrate and Rashford has decreased his quite a lot. Realistically we should be expecting both to be better.
this is a trash opinionHe possesses a unique combination of technique, strength, link-up play and finishing that none of our other forwards have. I can't wait for him to get back his scoring mojo. A few games into a strange season, and weirdos in here talking about him being only good for the bench or being replaced by grandpa cavani who's never been as good a finisher and relied mostly on running around
I disagree that Martial has been better than Greenwood. No goals or assists in the Prem, got a very stupid red card in a game we got thrashed. Scored an own goal in the CL against PSG, which could have thrown away a very important win.
Yes In sure 99.9 % football fans worldwide agree...not.
I agree what I mean is that Cavani has more of that in him than any of our forwards. I wouldn’t say Martial is at that stage where he poaches but Cavani does.
I've given up on Martial as our primary striker but its nuts isnt it
Literally the most active thread in the forum.a lot of people, like me are just saying it’s good to have a different type of forward, and it really showed today. That’s not a criticism of martial per se, and there’s no reason why they both can’t play and work well.
Why?
Martial can do more things that Cavani can’t.
