1st in sprints too, awesome.
Absolutely not. He's on fire at the moment. Just needs to improve his decision making at times.Anyone will swap him with any CF in this league? Maybe going bit far but I think he is complete package and I don't think there is any CF who offers everything that Martial does.
Didn't he pass the ball to rashford for the 1st goal? yesterday was one of the few times i have seen him being a bit selfish, most of the times he chooses to pass even though he should shoot.Had a wonderful game. Only complaint i have for him is to pass the ball sometimes around the box. He beats like 5 people and takes a shot which usually skies. Instead in one of the attemps he could have let Greenwood in who was free in his right and we'd exteneded the lead. Hope Ole makes him realize that he can't do everything by himself.
He did but there were few other occasion where passing was a better option. Still not worried much as he did have a brilliant game. These would get corrected in time for him.Didn't he pass the ball to rashford for the 1st goal? yesterday was one of the few times i have seen him being a bit selfish, most of the times he chooses to pass even though he should shoot.
Did we watch the same game? Although he was undoubtably fantastic (great natural #9 play for Rashford’s goal, great play for his goal and he got himself in good positions through out) he still had some faults which he can be criticised for.His first touch was just brilliant, defender just cleared the ball and it was about to go out, he had Southampton defender on him. His first touch was so good that he beat the defender with ease, not sure if it was great touch or lucky one, they didn't show the replay but it was great piece of play.
He is playing at very high level. I don't understand how anyone can watch that game and criticize him.
Apparently not.Did we watch the same game? Although he was undoubtably fantastic (great natural #9 play for Rashford’s goal, great play for his goal and he got himself in good positions through out) he still had some faults which he can be criticised for.
If he took more than one of his chances we win that game.
It’s a luxurious that we’re performing so well that we can keep demanding higher standards and not rest on our laurels. Martial is doing well but we can keep expecting improvements at the same time.
Yeah. On a day that too many of our players had an off-game, he was by far the standout player. Like others have said, if either one of Bruno or Pogba were on it as well, we would have won it but the lack of a midfield in form along with the leftback injuries cost us.People have so high standards for this boy, that not even Messi and Ronaldo would be good enough on here. Some of you are a joke to be honest. He was by far, by far, the best player on the pitch yesterday. Take him out, and we don't even draw that game. And some on here complain about a chance missed here or there. Unbelievable. I think you need to watch more football to actually know where to place Martial, because some of you have no clue how good he actually is. And he will become better.
Martial did that last season too under Jose, he scored in 5 consecutive PL games.Tweet

For that one chance where he beat a few players, No one is passing there after that run. Maybe Messi might but even him I would not be surprised if he didnt.Had a wonderful game. Only complaint i have for him is to pass the ball sometimes around the box. He beats like 5 people and takes a shot which usually skies. Instead in one of the attemps he could have let Greenwood in who was free in his right and we'd exteneded the lead. Hope Ole makes him realize that he can't do everything by himself.

Newcastle, Chelsea, Everton, Bournemouth, City.
Yeah missed it. Thanks.Tweet says at Old Trafford
That was a big issue in Jose's 1st season. Hopefully it's a once in a while thing.I just checked his statistics. In PL he has 50 goals from 142 appearances with 120 shots on target. Which is in fact a great rate of conversion.
This is true. I supposed my disgruntlement comes from the fact that since he is one of the most (if not the most) potent goal threat we have, when he misses chances I always feel there is a likelihood we will live to regret that. This might be due to a general team issue where he haven't been creating enough chances, or even taking them, in recent years leading to results such as this one.
I might be taking the frustrations I have regarding the team on him.
They want him to be Maradona vs England in every game, it's just a joke, 8 goals in the last 10 games still not good enough for some people not to even consider the work rate and link up play,he is beginning to tap into his true potential could surpass any united striker for goals in the league since Van persie,how many did Ibrahimovic and Lukaku score??People have so high standards for this boy, that not even Messi and Ronaldo would be good enough on here.

He has matched Lukaku's 16 goals and Ibrahimovic scored 17 goals.They want him to be Maradona vs England in every game, it's just a joke, 8 goals in the last 10 games still not good enough for some people not to even consider the work rate and link up play,he is beginning to tap into his true potential could surpass any united striker for goals in the league since Van persie,how many did Ibrahimovic and Lukaku score??
So he needs two in the next three games then very doableHe has matched Lukaku's 16 gaols and Ibrahimovic scored 17 goals.
That's our best tally isn't it? I mean since SAF retired.He has matched Lukaku's 16 gaols and Ibrahimovic scored 17 goals.
Wouldn't surprise me. He's been churning out world class performances lately, it looks like he's getting a real buzz out of the physical side if the game lately as well.Is he the best 9 we had since SAF retired? I mean this season his performance is up there.
I know few might come up with Zlatan but IMO he is better than Zlatan was in 2016-17.Wouldn't surprise me. He's been churning out world class performances lately, it looks like he's getting a real buzz out of the physical side if the game lately as well.
Nope. Not even Aguero. I remember getting some stick off of @Art Vandelay for comparing the two but I've always seen similarities in their play and, this season, in his first as a 9, he's actually outperformed Aguero.Anyone will swap him with any CF in this league? Maybe going bit far but I think he is complete package and I don't think there is any CF who offers everything that Martial does.
Yeah, might be unpopular opinion for few posters who always go with "Proven" thing but I wouldn't swap Martial with any CF in the league, at least if he keeps up this form.Nope. Not even Aguero.

Martial is certainly more exciting in my opinion.I know few might come up with Zlatan but IMO he is better than Zlatan was in 2016-17.
Zlatan was great but at the same time he sapped the life out of all our other forwards, Rashford was better when Zlatan wasn't playing e.g that 2:0 win over Chelsea or the in Europa league late stages when Zlatan got injured, Martial brings more out of Rashford and Greenwood with his ability and willingness to link up creating a more fluid attackI know few might come up with Zlatan but IMO he is better than Zlatan was in 2016-17.
Zlatan could have had 25 he if didn't miss so many chances. Martial and Rashford could get a couple each in the next 3 and outscore zlatan and Rom.He has matched Lukaku's 16 gaols and Ibrahimovic scored 17 goals.
