No @matherto, I simply said I have no sympathy for a man getting upset about a bloody shirt number when the company who have done it pay him over £150,000 every single week.
Spot on.
I'm surprised to see Lingard basically even with Mata. And Rashford's numbers aren't awful considering he's been wide. When Rooney goes and he gets those central minutes as the 2nd striker and starts to give Ibra rest every 3-4 games that should improve in a hurry.
From the front three attacking players only Mkhitaryan has started and been subbed on fewer games than Martial and that's only due to Mkhitaryan being injured. Though Rashford has started same amount as him, Rashford has been trusted more as a sub option - 10 appearances compared to Martial's four, and he's also lasted 90 minutes more. Whichever way you coat it he's played around 200 minutes less than Rashford and around 450 fewer than Rooney which is quite a lot.
This piece of stat is misleading in a sense it only talks about end products and only attacking sense. There is no way to use as indication for overall performance when they play. Mata worked his boot off and in some game was our most influential player but worse mins per goal compare to Lingard would mean Mata is less effective to Lingaard, when Lingard picked up 2 beautiful "cherry on top" goals when the games were done and dusted vs Feyenoord & Fenerbahce. And Rashford was mainly played in a "new" role this season than his preferred role. It's unfair to judge him on end product, while it's clear Mourinho trusted Rashford more than Martial in case we need hard worker defensively but also a rapid runner on the break. Rashford may not be well verse in defending, but there is more trust on him to help defending on wing than Martial, so only looking for end product is very unfair for Rashford.

It's clearly more than just his shirt number that's contributing to his poor performances though
If it helps bring Martial back to form and score goals like Miki's, we're all for it
He was obviously, because now you can see the difference.Out of form they say
You must have missed him vs West Ham 5 weeks ago
Once a month isn't form.
One great HALF and people saying he is back in form, anyway he is showing why he should start every game
Well he was out of form in fairnessOut of form they say
Even if he is absolute dog shite for the next six months, he won't be sold unless he asks to leave.
Would be madness on a different level if he was sold.
Yea if we get them on form together we would be absolutely lethal. I can barely remember what it was like when we could attack from both wings.
Yeah, way too much potential has been shown over the past 18 months. Like I said, it will be his decision and not the clubs (unless there is a massive fallout with Jose or something like that).
