It was a gamble worth taking, and we were clearly harder to beat with him in the team. Bet the stats for games he played the majority of and us losing were quite low. Although clearly from about Feb on he's been out!
What didn't help, was playing another deep player with him, meaning with little threat from the full backs, as well as the centre mids, we were making a huge ask on the front 4, which featured a massively off the pace Depay, a massively off form/way past best Rooney, one paced Mata, leaving Martial to be the sole threat on his own for a fair while.
