Griezmann was better in behind.

Deschamps is a fecking idiot for not playing Martial more. Felt sorry for the lad sitting on the bench every game watching the likes of Gignac get on in front of him. Oh well at least he's not injured and will be back starting for United next season to prove Deschamps and anyone else who is still doubting him wrong.
Deschamps is a bang average coach. Best squad in the tournament by a stretch, home crowd, sunk by fecking Éder.
Got to say, I'm pretty pleased he didn't play any more than he did. He's had more than enough football the last year.
I'd have let Giroud finish the entire match instead of bringing Gignac. His sub didn't make any sense even if he played badly cause whatever the match scenario, Gignac makes us instantly weaker. I still cannot believe players Gameiro and Lacazette weren't taken before him for the Euro.
If you stayed in the game, the changes were predictable and so was the game plan. If you had a defender that could head the ball, that pretty much ended their attacking threat. France had two of the fastest outside players that could have created problems but he never explored them.....
Thought the same thing yesterday when the sub was made and throughout the tournament. I could only put the sub down to Deschamps having a preference for a target man striker and so the likes of Martial, Lacazette and Gameiro are not really considered the type of player he wants in the position to partner Griezmann.
Would Gignac have gotten in the squad if Benzema had been eligible to go?
Although I'd love for Martial to get 7, I can't help but feel that we should just leave him to it. Don't want to add any undue pressure after a stellar first season. Let him play and enjoy his football rather than push this on him. Seems more if a statement to take it off someone than to be given it when you sign.
I suspect he somehow would have
. Gignac isn't a true target man either.I din't see him in any of the training pics?
He's not in the photo's but in the video Utd posted he is there in the background when they are doing the Rondo, so he is OK.
Probably just shied away from the camera
If we are to achieve anything this season, he needs to start firing. Our most talented player by some distance and the only player that can consistently go past players.
I'm sure he will be fine. He hardly had a pre season remember, all players take a while to get going 100%.
You think he's more talented than Pogs.... by some distance?
Just to not confuse things - this is last season's performance thread. The one for this season is: https://www.redcafe.net/threads/anthony-martial-2016-17-performances.419580/
This is going to be a hard season for him... he's kind of the forgotten man, believe it or not. With Ibra, Rooney and Mkhitaryan... not to mention Pogba, I hope he's not forgotten. It would be a shame.
