Weird, you're right. I've opened it now so the discussion can go there.Didn’t that get locked around the time Martial became a fixture in the side?
With a £150m buy out clause.
I thought buy out clauses don't exist (i.e. are not binding) in the PL. Didn't Liverpool reject the £40m + 1 penny offer from Arsenal for Suarez and Henry said release clauses are not enforceable in the PL?I'd rather him not have a clause at all - especially after the last summer.
I'm pretty sure that the idea was to have our best dribbler against their weakest 1 on 1 defender. Not that it worked.Don't know why we didn't have him on the left from the start. He doesn't suit playing on the right at all.
For me, you have Jesse at #10, Lukaku on the right, and then choose between Marcus and Martial for the left and CF positions.Don't know why we didn't have him on the left from the start. He doesn't suit playing on the right at all.
I think Rashford on the right is worse than Martial on the right, so overall it's best with Rashers on the left and Martial on the right.Don't know why we didn't have him on the left from the start. He doesn't suit playing on the right at all.
I think Mourinho is more worried about Walker than Delph and feels Rashford is better to deal with him. That went out the window at 1-0 downDon't know why we didn't have him on the left from the start. He doesn't suit playing on the right at all.
This too.I think Mourinho is more worried about Walker than Delph and feels Rashford is better to deal with him. That went out the window at 1-0 down
I disagree. Martial is definitely worse there imo. Better to have him on Walker and cut in.I think Rashford on the right is worse than Martial on the right, so overall it's best with Rashers on the left and Martial on the right.
Maybe. The ball mostly went down our left anyway.I'm pretty sure that the idea was to have our best dribbler against their weakest 1 on 1 defender. Not that it worked.
In a match like this it stands out though. He's the only one that looks capable of taking the game to City.He made one good run but didn't press hard enough IMO. He just has to dribble a bit to get people giddy on here it seems.
Sane and Sterling don't have a problem coming back. Don't know why our fans insist on using defensive responsibilities as an excuseHe'd be a phenomenal player in a relentlessly attacking side.
When your players are actively instructed not to attack no fecking wonder we get all giddy.He made one good run but didn't press hard enough IMO. He just has to dribble a bit to get people giddy on here it seems.
Not like Martial doesn't track back either.I know we have to think about Walker attacking, but he's on a yellow and we need Martial running at him.
Did create our most clean chance of the gameMost frustrating player at this club. People gonna pile on Lukaku but Martial was atrocious today. 3 little runs but granny passes at the end of those.
Our only player out there with real quality, even a blind man can see that.Most frustrating player at this club. People gonna pile on Lukaku but Martial was atrocious today. 3 little runs but granny passes at the end of those.

Today? What does it matter if you have talent but don't deliver? His body does the work, then his head comes into play and slows him down. He does not influence the match enough. A player this gifted with his feet should be everywhere all the time. As much a passenger as Herrera, who actually, is not very talented.Our only player out there with real quality, even a blind man can see that.
Second half showed. If we were to be stifled, Martial didn't challenge his marker enough. He is brilliant on ball, but he can be isolated with tactical pressing and man mark. With Delph, logically Martial would be in place for to capitalize on Delph mistake as Delph is weak spot. Rashford is to be on Walker up and down the flank for his energy (he is terrible this game though). We sorely missed Pogba again (his and our own fault this time though). He would help supply the ball to Martial better.Don't know why we didn't have him on the left from the start. He doesn't suit playing on the right at all.
Yeah he was poor. United's tactics didn't suit him but he's got to do more to get into the game, rather than wait for the game to come to him.Most frustrating player at this club. People gonna pile on Lukaku but Martial was atrocious today. 3 little runs but granny passes at the end of those.
