Huh? If martial has all these touches why not Haaland?He probably doesn't have a single touch of the ball the entire half if he plays for us
That's what I said yes. He was only free in the box after Rashford was closed down late in the move and thats only because the CBs needed to cover the shot.He wasn't in the middle of the box?
Ye but haaland played most of that halve in defence See how deep he kept coming?If we had Haaland instead of Martial, we'd be a super team.
Garnacho would be the better choice surely.He can barely move.. why is he still on? they wont fix it in 15 mins..
gameplan has to change now.. Antony isnt fast enough to counter that way..
It’s not worth aggravating the injury further. It could be the difference in him being out for a week or two if he comes off now or a couple of months if he plays on.Rashy isn't coming on in the second half.
Bruno's been good? All our counters have involved him with clever touchesAll I keep saying in this thread is "martial this, rashford that". Bruno Fernandes is a passenger way too often
This is it for me. We are 1 top striker away from being able to go for titles and trophies. Someone like Van Nistelrooy would clean up in this team. Martial just doesn't cut it.If we had Haaland instead of Martial, we'd be a super team.
Looks like he was holding he's hip or back of the leg, not groin area.I'd say groin
It was possible it was only an impact injury and he could have run it off .He can barely move.. why is he still on? they wont fix it in 15 mins..
gameplan has to change now.. Antony isnt fast enough to counter that way..
It was never going to be a repeat of the first.Great half of football...ETH did his homework.
Yeah it was his hipLooks like he was holding he's hip or back of the leg, not groin area.
Agree it should be Garnacho, just don’t think Ten Hag will do it.Personally I think thats the wrong choice as wel will lose our entire counter attacking ability.
Cowardly option? Give your head a wobble ffs.
Maybe cowardly isn't the right word. It's the easier decision to put on the more senior player and record signing. But Antony has been absolute rubbish since he arrived, and Garnacho fully deserves to be ahead of him in the pecking order on merit.It’s not cowardly to put on a £100 million player. It’s about time he proved his worth and today could be the day.
can you blame them?And the Oscar for Most Dramatic Performance goes to...
He’ll come on eventually but it shouldn’t be for rashford on the left. Should be garnacho.There is something wrong if we are reluctant to bring on our 100m signing
Martial should have at least 1 goal, maybe 2 if Rashford didn't get greedy and just made a simple passIf we had Haaland instead of Martial, we'd be a super team.
Haaland was worse than Martial that half.If we had Haaland instead of Martial, we'd be a super team.
