Martial is one of the most frustrating (and seemingly self frustrated) players I've ever seen at OT. You know he has it in him, but no one, including himself seems to know how to unlock his obvious talent. Its rare to ever look at Martial's face and think 'he's enjoying himself', talk about playing with a smile on your face, Anthony definitely missed that lesson for sure!
It would seem Martial fancies himself as a CF, but a 34 year old is showing him what is best about that role. Even when selected as the CF, he often drifts out wide, usually to the left, so he can do his 'party piece' which is running directly into the box on the angle, challenging defenders to take him out; but he still spurns running on the outside past the defender and taking the ball on the inside run, and he still prefers it 'to feet'.
Since Anthony is sitting on a lucrative contract with a few years to go, selling him would be difficult, until he can get back into the side and put himself 'in the shop window'. It would seem, at least from a distance, that he needs help to redefine himself and his talents as a footballer, to go back to basics and begin to enjoy playing, because just now and indeed for sometime, its been obvious he doesn't!
