His passing range and execution is top drawer. You can see the influence he has on our build up play and I missed the aggression that he brings too. It rubs off on his team mates and there was definitely a collective spirit built up between the defence and goalkeeper at our best last season.

Hopefully we can build that again with the first choice back line the remainder of the season.

 

[lex talionis]

Brilliant footballer. If only he were an inch taller…

 

[tomaldinho1]

The Butcher has returned and he’s still class. Didn’t like his foot getting strapped up at the end though, worried we’ve rushed him back again.

 

[criticalanalysis]

Colossal player. Prayers on his fitness.

 

[sammyhol]

Absolutely brilliant again.

Please don’t be injured

 

[Unam333]

Hopefully just a precautionary substitution. Doesn't like he looks he's made out of glass.

 

[#07]

We have missed Martinez so much. Does so much mopping up behind. Helps us build out from the back. Hope the strapped up foot is nothing to worry about.

Probably precautionary.

He's a class act.

 

[Nicoteiro]

Pretty sure he was sub to fight aerial balls

a typical Martinez game. He’s back.

 

[cpresc]

So good to have him back

 

[Slevs]

Injured again?

 

[Rustyspider13]

Please stay fit. The entire team goes up a level with him, it's never been more apparent.

 

[ShinjiNinja26]

Pray that the ice pack strapped to his foot is precautionary.

 

[youngrell]

He’s back. Monster of a player.

 

[The Hilton]

Makes a huge difference to us with his ability on the ball, is an assured defender too.

 

[always_hoping]

An update? If the injury is nothing serious it will be as good as the 3 points tonight.

 

[MetoTTT]

We've missed him so badly. What a monster! Hope he isn't injured.

 

[Who's Kissing Cameras?]

God it was great seeing him on the pitch. He’s our best defender.

 

[Escobar]

Get that foot ready ffs

 

[TheReligion]

God it was great seeing him on the pitch. He’s our best defender.

injured again?

 

[Red Indian Chief Torn Rubber]

We have missed him dearly. I hope he is okay

 

[bosnian_red]

Class player. Will be so upset if he's injured again. Has to be something really complicated with his original fracture that it's still causing him issues... Maybe a jones fracture originally which causes issues to NFL players for ages if they get one.

 

[Red Royal]

Please don't be injured... so calm

 

[arthurka]

Seeing them put ice on it on the pitch and to have him run around on the sideline gives me hope that this is precautionary.

 

[Scandi Red]

I genuinely think that he's world class.

 

[Swedish_Plumber]

Is he safe? Is he alright?

 

[Parma Dewol]

Is he safe? Is he alright?

I sure hope so. He brings so much to this team, not just in individual ability but also the way in which he fires up those around him. Great watching the defenders celebrate every challenge when he’s on the pitch.

Pray we can keep a consistent back four from now through to the end of the season.

 

[harms]

Fantastic. Would've been my MotM if not for that Mainoo's late winner.

 

[Blood Mage]

I'm worried about that foot of his, just can't seem to heal properly. Hopefully he'll be okay

 

[adamwest]

He's a serious player this guy. One of our most progressive and incisive passers and a very composed and astute defender. Also a fecking warrior. Love him.

 

[Waynne]

Foot looks a big mangled. Nothing Robitussin can't fix.

Hope's and prayers he'll be good for the next game.

Monster player.

Agreed, of all those who have come back I think he is the most positively influential.

 

[Plant0x84]

Carragher banging the “He’s too short” drum again. Laughable when Licha has proven himself time and again, tonight being another example.
Worrying to see his foot strapped up, hope he’s all good for the weekend. Nervously awaiting an update!

 

[Gabriel Djemba-Bebe]

I feel so much calmer when he's on the pitch. I know that should be a prerequisite for United CBs but it hasn't been the case for 10 years.

Really? After his display yesterday this is just laughable. Immense player.

 

[OleGunnar20]

If he can stay fit I'd like to see him made captain. Great player.

 

[Pexbo]

Left the stadium with his foot in a shoe

 

[Berbasbullet]

Oh man
