Sancho was well ahead of him. He can't be offside. He should've sprinted to catch up. Instead he jogged and got marked out...

Keep hearing this but he actually played his best football under Ole. Mourinho was the only one he suffered under. It is more important that he has a coach who believes in him.
Has he? He only had one in the last 4 seasons.
I will still need to see more to start having some real hope again for him.
I am sure that under ETH he will be great. Like a new signing.
And i don't mean that as a joke.

Christ I hope you're right, he's a magical player at his best.
Might be jumping the gun here, but I'd rather us give Martial another chance than sign someone like Kalajdzic or Brobbey.
We could and should do both, it's not as if an other striker wouldn't be useful.
Agree with the last part… belief is everything for a player but combine it with a coach that actually coaches properly. He’ll be unleashed. I thought he was pretty decent under LVG aswell or wasn’t he?
if ronaldo goes we need another striker no matter what
I suppose it depends on our budget and priorities..
If we have Ronaldo and Martial then I’d prioritise a RW over a striker
Fans tend to allow emotions control their judgement. It’s the first game in preseason and we played against a liverpool team that fielded a relatively weak team. Their left backs were 17 and 19 years old I think. ETH had to start his first team players as he is new and wants to look at them close - so that’s understandable. However, let’s not over-hype Martial just yet. He has a lot, A LOT, to do. Hope he actually does improve and play a key part next season.
Yeah he started off really well until the team became more restricted in his second season.
Just remember him playing well on tour but going missing during the season.
He's on a different level to both of these guys technically. It's his head that is the problem
Would be nice to have Ronaldo, Martial and an aerial option like that Sasa Kala guy
friendlies are like traiing matches. No one takes them serious; Cleverley looked world class vs Barca
So Sevilla don't have a real coach?
Living up to the name. I'll judge after 15 games
Look, it's a good 45 minutes. That'll do for the moment. Every journey etc.
There is so much hyperbole here. Hes played against some kids who probably aren't even good enough for a bottom team PL side. That Williams fella wanted to give him the ball all the time
Friendlies don’t mean a great deal but they don’t tell us nothing - he at least looks engaged (that’s how bad he’s been) and played well. We’ve seen him have good seasons so he has it in him.
Tiny sample size but positive at least.
Good to see him motivated and alert.
Not thrilling to be facing another season with Martial in the squad but we may as well keep an open mind that he can show something...anything. We don't have much choice with him. Getting a goal isn't a bad start.
Hope he stays injury free.
More promising than I was expecting but still on probation. He needs to increase the workrate even higher and let's see how he reacts.
EtH seems to be a stickler for detail and is bound to highlight those areas on the game where he could have done more. In the past he has gone into a big sulk when criticism comes his way, however healthy.
It would be nice for there to be a redemption here...but he's in the last chance saloon as far as I can see.

It's the opposite that happened. Outside of 2020-2021, Martial has always responded to criticism by being better and regaining a starting role. I will never understand why people keep making this sulking thing up, Martial issue has been about getting comfortable or too relaxed when things are going well.
I can't deal with the hope of a Tony Martial remontada.
Maybe if we can play all our games behind closed doors he'll come good again.

He’ll be warming the bench for a good share of the season .
Ronaldo won’t be dropped

Yep. Was a good performance but Nat Philips and Rhys Williams are the worst centre backs in the league.
Lopetegui prefers a false nine to a usual striker. Always a mismatch
We’ve written him off but a reinvigorated Martial is at the very least a useful bench or rotation option. Everyone forgets he was our 9 in 19/20 and was excellent that year
Would save us a lot of hassle if he could rediscover his touch. Apart from perhaps a lack of variety with his finishing, he has the game to be a top class striker.
Hasn’t been coached since LvG left. He’ll do well in a forward line with movement. 15+ goal season incoming.
Some of the bullshit on here, scores a good goal, did little else for that 45 minutes worthy of note and suddenly he's back. Liverpools team was barely championship level with 20 plus changes. He came into the Sevilla team and immediately scored a goal, everyone thought he was a genius, then started complaining about how he didn't fit in, etc. I do hope he can comeback because at his v best he could be a big difference, but in all the years he has been here he has only had one good season. If I am a betting man I stick money on him not scoring more than 5 this year, because the odds against a fairy tale are high and Martial has largely flattered to deceive.
I will be more than happy to see him prove me a moron though.

Don't fall for it guys. He'll go back to his normal self in no time.
Sad that I am sceptical after a performance like that but I've been burnt before. Desperately hope he's revitalised under ETH as there really aren't many strikers in the market right now.
He could take the left wing position for himself
Oh behave!
this thread isn't fan fiction.Martial, due to his strength under pressure, usually brings out the best in other forwards. I foresee him linking up nicely with Sancho.
I'd start him over ronaldo and have rashford or elanga as backup. But we also need to sign antony.
Martial FC is immortal. Golden Boot incoming.
