With a double-backflip and a strawberry flavored milkshake.He is at his best as a right footed left side Inverted Forward.
One goal and one assist more than Rashford last season, one which Rashford had to play while coming back from a broken back, and he was 10 times better? What a crock of shite.Crazy. Martial is basically the last starter we should be replacing, was our best and most consistent player last season. How about a word on Rashy and Dan James that have been 10 times worse? Maybe if we had decent wingers and FBs that can attack our ST would be better.
Wouldn't say no to him coming here to be one though.VDS isn't a DOF at Ajax.
Same. I don't agree fully with the Martial comment, he can play that role, but he clearly needs some support and competition.Overall he is not wrong, expected worse when I saw he gave an interview
Looks like you haven't watched much of Martial.There is more to being a number 9 than scoring goals although that is a big part . We need a focal point of our attack a constant threat who can hold the ball up and creating space to bring others into play . Martial cannot do that on a consistent basis .
Well that would ignore him playing against Sevilla after that comment and playing for France. If somebody is going to get their knickers in a twist pointing things out they should at least try to be correct themselves.According to Transfermarkt it's 208 minutes. Big difference...
Not that is matters, as he would look stupid even if was way more than 208 minutes.
Same here. I think a creative winger would have a bigger impact than a CF. Creativity is our Achilles heel than finishing and goal threat. I do think Martial has to prove he can he that CF who comes alive in the box but like you say he does bring other qualities like a Firmino does whereas we don't a true winger.I disagree with his view on Sancho,I actually think that Sancho would have been perfect for us in many ways.He could have dovetailed seamlessly with Rashford,Martial and Greenwood and we could have had a devastating front 3.A lot of teams don’t play with a traditional 9 these days....Who is Liverpool’s number 9?
To be fair a lot of footballers have idiotic views. I don't think this is one of them but as in all walks of life, people not in the industry are sometimes correct and those in it are sometimes wrong.So Scholes who has played midfield field consistently at the highest level, winning 2 Champions leagues and 11 premier leagues is an idiot according to some clowns on an Internet forum, because his opinion doesn’t match theirs, okay..
Looks like you haven't watched much of Martial.
Martial is very good at bringing players into play and linking them, it is a very underrated skill of his.
It's more that his opinion doesn't match with his own opinion from a few weeks ago or reality in the case of Ajax structure. And being a great player doesn't make you insightful, it makes you a great player when you are on the field.So Scholes who has played midfield field consistently at the highest level, winning 2 Champions leagues and 11 premier leagues is an idiot according to some clowns on an Internet forum, because his opinion doesn’t match theirs, okay..
The experience and credibility to read that van der sar isn’t a DoF nor did he study DoF at university? Yes I do, anyone with an ounce of common sense can come to that conclusion. Unfortunately, from Scholes punditry it’s clear he doesn’t.And yet you have the experience and credibility to make that conclusion?
Pelé is arguably the greatest player ever, I guess everything he has said is correct then?So Scholes who has played midfield field consistently at the highest level, winning 2 Champions leagues and 11 premier leagues is an idiot according to some clowns on an Internet forum, because his opinion doesn’t match theirs, okay..
He’s the foremost voice on erectile disfunction for a reason.Pelé is arguably the greatest player ever, I guess everything he has said is correct then?
This reminds me of when politicians spout nonsense and then tell others to "stick to their **insert profession here*'. Not saying Scholes is spouting nonsense but nobody needs to agree with Scholes because he is Scholes. Agree with him if he's making a good point.The experience and credibility to read that van der sar isn’t a DoF nor did he study DoF at university? Yes I do, anyone with an ounce of common sense can come to that conclusion. Unfortunately, from Scholes punditry it’s clear he doesn’t.
He played almost the same amount of minutes, had lots of penalties. Overall Martial was way better. It's been 7 months from the injury and he's still terrible, easily one of our worst players after restart, when Bruno, Greenwood and Martial carried our attack. At the moment he's a way bigger problem, but it's ok because he's a local academy lad like his mate Lingz.One goal and one assist more than Rashford last season, one which Rashford had to play while coming back from a broken back, and he was 10 times better? What a crock of shite.
Yep. Literally everything he said is wrong.I thought Overmars was DoF at Ajax, and Van Der Sar was Ajax's equivalent to Woody?
Rooney, Keane and Sheringham have also said we need a number 9To be fair a lot of footballers have idiotic views. I don't think this is one of them but as in all walks of life, people not in the industry are sometimes correct and those in it are sometimes wrong.
And Rio has been begging for Sancho. Why rely on footballers views to form your own? They've done sod all when it comes to management anyway.Rooney, Keane and Sheringham have also said we need a number 9
He said he was conned by Martial so that’s not exactly true and lots of great players become great managers or football men so that’s not exactly true either.It's more that his opinion doesn't match with his own opinion from a few weeks ago or reality in the case of Ajax structure. And being a great player doesn't make you insightful, it makes you a great player when you are on the field.
Internet is full of self appointed experts who can dismiss the opinions of genuine experts by typing out a simple post.So Scholes who has played midfield field consistently at the highest level, winning 2 Champions leagues and 11 premier leagues is an idiot according to some clowns on an Internet forum, because his opinion doesn’t match theirs, okay..
Martial as an inside left inverted forward is quite similar?The more he talks the more clueless he shows himself to be.
Literally just a couple of months ago he was saying how Martial changed his view on him and how he’s proving to be a proper number 9. Now he’s back to a fraud again
And how the feck have we already got players like Sancho? Cause I’ve not seen a single one.
I don’t, I can see with my own eyes, but I wouldn’t be calling them idiots either when they have a lifetime of experience at the highest level and I’ve kicked a ball for my local team.And Rio has been begging for Sancho. Why rely on footballers views to form your own? They've done sod all when it comes to management anyway.
That makes no sense, if Scholes can be conned then why would you consider his opinions as gospel? And I didn't tell you that great players can't become great managers, I told you that being a great player doesn't make you insightful or since you brought it up, a great manager, similarly being a subpar player doesn't mean that you can't be insightful or become a great manager.He said he was conned by Martial so that’s not exactly true and lots of great players become great managers or football men so that’s not exactly true either.
Look ! Nicky Butt was the standout midfielder at the 2002 World Cup ,ok!Pelé is arguably the greatest player ever, I guess everything he has said is correct then?
Butt is a good example, he wasn't the most talented midfielder at United but whenever I have seen or read interviews with him, he makes sense, he seems smart.Look ! Nicky Butt was the standout midfielder at the 2002 World Cup ,ok!
So you’re just going to dismiss his lifetime of football experience, just because his view doesn’t suit yours.That makes no sense, if Scholes can be conned then why would you consider his opinions as gospel? And I didn't tell you that great players can't become great managers, I told you that being a great player doesn't make you insightful or since you brought it up, a great manager, similarly being a subpar player doesn't mean that you can't be insightful or become a great manager.
What a player achieved on the field is irrelevant when it comes to being insightful out of it or becoming a great manager or not.
