He demonstrated the improvements in his all round game today, just really hope that goal scoring form comes back because he would be an almost complete striker.

Looked really good today and was just missing a goal to his name to round off that performance.

Won the penalty, retained possession reasonably well, though still got dispossessed 5 times (not helped by the referee), passing was good, very good at times. Wasted huge chance to score in the 2nd half. One interception.

Amazing performance given his woeful form this season. In a normal season it would simply have been a decent display, as he's a talented player.

Good performance, will need to repeat it for the rest of the season to make me begin to forget how utterly shite he has been all season though

Played so so well, shame he didn't grab a goal because he is a sensitive player and needs to feel a few hit the back of the net to get back to his best.

Unfortunate he didn’t get his goal. Wanted to hear Neville mention Cavani in this game.

He smiled when taken off. As if he liked that people were telling him he played well.

This is a good sign. Hopefully he will try and play well again in future.

Can't hit a barn door this season but his hold-up play and interplay around the box today was very good.

Why oh why cant he play like that more often.... ? A complete mystery how he turns up for one game and then is shocking for the next 5.
Great today deserved a goal to top of a fine performance. Will he be next match? Probably not

Playing as a false 9 with room behind him is where he’s best, we rarely get him into those situations against teams that defend deeper.

when he’s allowed to pin a defender 1v1 he’s excellent.

During his time here, he's tended to show up more in big games (which is kinda opposite to his general persona).

Why can't we have this martial more often. That was a top top performance. I hope he ends the season well now.

Didn’t rate that performance as highly as some in here. He was better than usual, that’s about it. Seems stringing a pass together and not being a mope is a great performance?

Apart from that horrific miss of course, which could’ve been massively important.

Of course I’d take that Martial over the usual any day. And before anyone says anything, I’ve given plenty of credit for good performances in the past.

Really pleased for him. He’s had a few games performance wise like that this season but I think the occasion and the result elevate it to his best link up game this season.

So pleased just keep that up and we have our attack in a much healthier place!

Well done lad. Stones and Diaz are not an easy pair to play against, but he was a handful.

Just needed that goal to cap off his performance.

His best performance this season. Shame he didn't get the goal as the icing

A performance that deserved a goal. Martial was very good today. Took care of the ball well. 7/10 performance from me that would have been 8 or 9 had he finished like he should have...

best performance this season, but still not in his top 5 or 10 from last season because of the missed chance.

The team’s average passing accuracy was 77%
Martial’s was 95%

Tony in XI, 17 starts 12 wins
Without Martial and Cavani as no 9 3 wins in 9 games.

If he scored that chance it would been a definitely 10 performance, but damn that miss was so bad that eventhough he played really well I can't give him more than a 7. You just have to score those, they don't come easier than that.

Missed a good chance but other than that I think he did his job brilliantly. Always offered an outlet, held onto the ball when he got it. A bit of a false 9 role today. Very happy.

Very good today, superb hold up play and was a massive part of the win, but tbh, even if he does that for the rest of the season it’s too little too late for me, still needs to be replaced.

My wit's end
He used his strength brilliantly today. His hold up play today was vital to our win.

I know the phrase 'silent domination' is used as a piss-take. But sometimes it's actually useful.

Martial's best game in weeks.

He’s very talented and every so often if all comes together but I don’t see any chance of him doing it consistently, over the course of months and seasons.

He was very good because he can come deep and get the ball. That's his best way to play. If we play Cavani and him together up front he and the team will play a lot better.

Our best CF performance this season. If he can maintain some form like this, he's comfortably our best striker. Really should have scored his chance though.

Did anyone really think he was gonna score. That position, he really rarely scores them for there and the way he shot it showed he isn't natural there
