Nobody has said that.
Never seen him play there but yeah
I don't believe it's an outrageous claim. Lukaku had the better season this year but Martial imo would've scored more than him if he'd been given those minutes.
Commendable attemp to clutch at a straw sir!
There have been many posters saying that Martial would be a better striker with all the predictable cliches. 'Attacking manager, run of games, midfield 3, progressive tactics' etc.
Welcome is awkward, because it probably does mean Lukaku is injured. But certainly not such bad news as some are hearing it. Rashford hit a couple against Chelsea last year, he did the same to Liverpool this season.So, just me that thinks the Rashford news is welcome then?
People said Martial over Rashford given the news that Lukaku was out. Not Martial over Lukaku
Based on what?
He doesn't play for France full stop.
I was talking about in general not in this thread. And even in this thread you have one person saying that.
Martail FC.
Common man. You've nothing to base that on. Lukaku has largely been great for us. And remember after Xmas he dragged us through few matches.
Didn't read it like that (gulp) and hope no-one thinks I mean that i'd rather have either over Lukaku. Was saying if the big man is injured then I'd rather Rashford start than Martial (just my preference obvs).
I've really not seen 'many people' saying that Martial is currently a better striker than Lukaku. abdo is the only one I've seen say that. Not seen anyone say he's on the same level as Mbappe either. If there is anyone who has said that, then it'd be along the same lines of that thread someone made about comparing Mbappe to Rashford. They're not comparable.
That was me. Perhaps, I was a bit over overzealous about Rashfords form at the time. I concede at the minute he's nowhere near Mbappe but I still strongly believe in Rashfords talent.
Having frequented the Martial and Lukaku thread and gotten fed up with their contents, I can assure you that there is a significant minority that believe that Martial is currently better (but not being given the chance).
I’m pretty confident that won’t happen. So, sure, why not?!
It's pretty darn good for a young buck.
Yeah, wasn't it made coming off a bad season for Rashford?That was me. Perhaps, I was a bit over overzealous about Rashfords form at the time. I concede at the minute he's nowhere near Mbappe but I still strongly believe in Rashfords talent.
Edit: Also one could turn a blind eye, since I'm sucker for young talent coming through Man Utd ranks. I can be somewhat biased!
… is what? Don't leave us hanging like that!
Rashford is a big game player, when teams give him space to work with he is deadly.
No. I think he had a great match and I just knee jerked it completely. Ah well. Rather than all the negativity we get at times.
Not to mention scoring 2 and assisting 1 v Arsenal on his PL debut.
It's bound to happen now.
I'm going to attempt to find and correlate the thread to his performance now. Other explanation is that I had too much Buckfast.
