France needs to get Martial on, none of their front 3 have enough speed in them to terrorise the Romanian defense.

France are finding it hard to break down Romania, yet they persist with an unkillful lump up front. Giroud is muck.
I don't think they are finding it difficult break down, just that greizeman has been profligate with chances afforded to him

A midfielder who's going to command world record fee is yet a win a ball or put in a tackle and as usual just strolling around the pitch. Overall offensive contribution so far is a through ball and a cross field for which Rooney gets dog's abuse. All will be forgotten for a moment of brilliance.

Interested to know how often you watch him if you actually think he's not among the best midfielders.
Only in the CL, where it's easier to compare him to other midfielders imo. Not when he's playing in Serie A for a Juventus team significantly better than their competitors.

There is a flip-side to that argument though. How often do you watch the other midfielders that are most prob better than him?
