Pretty much this
Pretty much this
Tbh I don't understand why people keep talking about his missed chance. Strikers do miss here and there, even Suarez or Lewandoski. Martial has one of the best conversion rate in the PL or at least our team imo, he rarely misses his chance.
And tbf, it was a good finish. 90 % of the time it would go in. The keeper hand just happened to be at the right place at the right time. He just raised his hand while rushing out, it was not even his reflex. Somehow the ball hit his hand, that's all.
Compared to a few other attackers
Impressive from Mane to be honest. The good news is I can only see Martial going further up that list if he plays a full season in a better team alongside Pogba and Fernandes and potentially even Sancho. Hes already performing fantastically so if he goes up another level he will be right at the top.Compared to a few other attackers
Mane's shot stats are similar but he's more clinical and scores more often.
This should really give people some perspective.
Yeah
No striker has 100% record. They are humans not robots.Yeah
Imagine how much rants and what people here would say if Martial got just half of those ...
We should understand and appreciate how lucky we are to have him here guys.
Martial misses a fifth of those chances and the Caf front page will be filled with threads asking for 5 new strikers to be brought in and replace Martial ASAP.
People are foolish.
You lot are truly mental. Players are either perfect or dross, there’s no middle ground to discuss anything.

More often than not, Martial will convert that first chance. Sometimes not, shit happens. Best player on the pitch for us.
You didn't simply criticize him for missing a golden opportunity, you acted as if it wasn't something that happens to others and even referred to former players who "would have converted that first chance", people simply pointed to the fact that these former players have missed easier chances and that Martial has one of the highest conversion rate among strikers.
I think the missed chance was more of a good goalkeeping than him missing it and he more than made for it with the assist and goal later on. Honestly I think Rashford's missed chance in second half hurt us more as it came in a crucial time that a third goal would have killed the match, beside I think it was even easier.

He looks like one
Couldn’t agree more with that, he’s such an exciting player who really can do abit of everything to a high level. Only thing he needs to do, is keep scoring more of those scrappy goals and in the box finishes like the ones against Sheff Utd. If he starts netting those regularly then we have a 25 goal a season striker.
He pretty much is that this season considering there's approximately 8 or so games left to play and he's been injured for 2 months. I think next seaon he should be aiming for 30+ - unless you meant just his league return.
Yeh sorry I did mean just league return but I agree he could push 30 in all competitions now that he's playing in a more dominant side.
Shame he was injured and also had to play without creative players for half a season.
He's actually converted pretty much that exact chance on two separate occasions already this season. One against Newcastle where he ran onto a loose pass and dinked the keeper, and I think a very similar one against Burnley?

This. My main problem with him has been his lack of movement, inconsistency and lack of appetite for goals. He's improved all through
The error was going to close to the goalkeeper. Once he got that close he should have just gone round the right side of him and tapped it in.
Damn
1st in sprints too, awesome.
