Seeing AM9 running at defenders again gave me a semi. None of them quite came off yesterday, but we're gonna see some of them beautiful goals after he's turned a few defenders inside out this season I reckon.
#NotForEveryoneThank god Martial is now our number 9. I don't miss Lukaku miscontrolling passes and generally making a mess of things. Not for me.
His smile get more talked about than some playersPeople's obsession with his smile.
His celebration seemed to be pointing to his smilePeople's obsession with his smile.
People's obsession with his smile.
Yes he didDidn't Martial play more through the middle?
His celebration began with him having a sour face as he runs away, both his hands then gestured to his mouth turning it into a smile.His celebration seemed to be pointing to his smile
He reads the Cafe hence the celebrationHis celebration began with him having a sour face as he runs away, both his hands then gestured to his mouth turning it into a smile.
It's funny. I just noticed after reading the last few posts of this thread and then watching the celebration again. Has the club or the manager made some reference to his lack of smiling or something?
That reference has been made a lot in the press and he has been asked about it in interviews since the begin of his career. He is just having a laugh about it and it's a ridiculous obsession.His celebration began with him having a sour face as he runs away, both his hands gestured to his mouth turning into a smile.

It happens pretty much every season.Well first time I’ve ever seen a player change his number the day the season starts. First time it’s ever happened actually. They’ve been selling Martial 11 shirts all summer so yeah it’s a bit annoying.
I know there’s a certain risk especially with players getting sold you can never been 100% but to change the number so late is unheard off.
My head hurts.

Central in a 4231I didn’t watch yesterday’s game, was Martial played on the left in a 4231? Or more centrally?

It's really interesting you should say that because at the highest and top level of football. Watching and observing all his time here. I will claim the boy can’t shoot straight. Shot like Rooney, Shearer, Rashford, Zlatan, Cantona or a natural nr.9 goalscorer. I want to see shoots like that. So Martial has to practice it on the training pitch. Give yourself more way to scoring goals. Like hit the ball straight outside or inside the box. He is good to curly the ball, but sometimes when its right to hit the ball straight. Just as an example. Like Abraham hit the ball str8 to the post, but just inside the goal.At the highest and top level of football. Watching and observing all his time here. I will claim the boy can’t shoot straight.

If i am not wrong. I can’t remember a Martial goal like bang bang. Totally determination, hit ball perfect straight and just want the ball to hit the net. A really screamer. I challenge him to do it. Thierry Henry can both curl and hit ball straight too. But if you can’t do it. Then it’s a sign that you luv to dribble and curl the ball too much. A more of a really good dribbler.
And to be really honest. At his age. He is not on Rooney level as attacking and football player. Both skills and consistent level. And Rooney could score in every ways in the box. Conclusion. Martial still has a way to reach Rooney level. Then Martial will be really consistent good.
Again, I claim and challenge you. That you can’t shoot a screamer. And to hit a really good screamer you get to be really determination. And top determination is a CF most important ability. Determination/Killer instinct = it will help your sharpness in front of the goal. It will help you hit ball more correctly. Contra you are sloppy and not fully determination. You can see it in Vardy or Zlatan in his younger years. 100 % determination and focus goes on and on again. Key ability of a top finish.
Central
So it was Rashford who was on the left?Central in a 4231
One man doesn’t you have top English level. Understand whatever im writing.My head hurts.
He scored a very good goal in one of the games I went to, I think it was against Stoke. Sweet strike.Now, i am waiting for a Martial screamer. I challenge him. He can’t shoot a screamer, if next time United lead 3-0. Just try to hit a screamer, when its of course right time for a screamer shot.
I have following United since King Canton arrived to Old Trafford. And all United CF until now have had a screamer goal. So Martial has to be on that list too.
Ok. But I haven’t seen yet. And I watched United alot, on tv. So a screamer is a strike too?And thats why you call a CF for a striker?He scored a very good goal in one of the games I went to, I think it was against Stoke. Sweet strike.

I'm with you to a certain extent, thought that every player has improvement in them, but I can foresee a time when we start playing a 4-4-2 type of system, in that system both Rashford and Martial would be free to roam across the front, one perhaps coming deeper, the other on the shoulder of the last defender.I know it's hard not to get carried away with yesterday but is it just me that didn't think Martial was actually that good yesterday? I mean he was better than he has been but still pretty much repeating his one trick and Rashford was better and, for me, he should be the main striker not Martial. Feel like I'm a lone voice here though
