Hopefully if he s injured, it s nothing serious
This is key right here. We are doing absolutely nothing without both of them this season. It makes a world of difference when martial attracts defenders for both rashdford and james to run off of. He also has good hold up play which ensures we are able to play closer to their goal. In January we need to add another quality attacker in case martial gets injured again.We can't survive without him and Pogba
We didn't do anything with them though. TBH our best football has easily been without Pogba.This is key right here. We are doing absolutely nothing without both of them this season.

We are here!!! They tried to kick us out but we stood firm. Lets hope that our Goldenboy stays fit for the rest of the season.Martial FC where u @
Martial's lackadaisical demeanor really worked against him there.You know what's the worst part Martial is closest to Mourinho's type of centre forward but was never given extended run there or the confidence to excel .
Such a shame we’ve got 2 strikers, who both need a partner. Either one gets injured and we’re toothless in attack. Martial and Rashford combine very well, we certainly need a back up, as Greenwood isn’t ready yet.Ive gotta be honest that’s a pretty damning stat. We need to keep him fit.

Just before he scored he looked injured and as soon as he scored he was replaced
What?Thought he was poor. Appreciate he's not match fit but just thought his overall game wasn't great. Hope and expect it to get better but poor today
Yes they do - this one especially - The math doesn't add up.
He wasn’t great but he was still better than Rashford as CF. His presence undoubtedly makes Rashford perform better as a winger, presumably because centre backs are occupied by Martial.Thought he was poor.

Him, pogba and AWBHim and Pogba are without doubt the best two players.
To have any chance of achieving anything this year we need those two playing.
He saved Mourinho's job for a couple of months last season too. Went on a run of scoring in 8 or so games when Mourinho was in self destruct mode.Love Martial. So happy to see him start to finally get the recognition he deserves. With him at 9, he may just save Solskjaer's job. He brings the magic to us upfront. Without him we're so ordinary.
Sure he was a bit rusty, but he had a good game. I'm certainly nowhere near disappointed.Thought he was poor. Appreciate he's not match fit but just thought his overall game wasn't great. Hope and expect it to get better but poor today
That's true, but I tend to find they're very effective together. They're the only players we have who can play those nice little intricate passes in the box.His touch and tight control separate him from Rashford as a CF.
Exactly. That's all forgotten though I guess. His goals at Chelsea were sexy.He saved Mourinho's job for a couple of months last season too. Went on a run of scoring in 8 or so games when Mourinho was in self destruct mode.
Oh yeah, that wasn't a dig at Rashford. Rashfords got a better shot than Martial and is a better crosser, so to me he's more suited as a wide forward.That's true, but I tend to find they're very effective together.

We've been playing dogshit football with Pogba and Martial out. You can't possibly think we've played well without Pogba.
You could immediately see Martial's class, even though he was a little quiet.
What absolutely baseless nonsense is thisWe didn't do anything with them though. TBH our best football has easily been without Pogba.
A blind person could see that.Should give credit to Ole too.
Many managers saw Rashford as the CF and Martial as the LW. Now their roles have reversed and we're starting to see much better performances.
That's a fair critique. He's a mood player as some have already identified. Louis had him humming and so does Ole, Mourinho wasn't his cup of tea.All well and good but I wonder when he loses form and goes back to his sulking and lacklustre(disinterested) demeanour, there will be many here calling him a fraud, overrated and not good enough to lead the line. The life of a fickle fan...
His body language suggests he is in a depressed mood permanently. He puts me off my hard earned beer. Makes me want to ball my eyes out. But as you say the stats don't lie. He is vital to the team. I'd pay him a bonus out of my own wallet to cheer up a bit on camera.He's a mood player
I have to say, I think this perception of him is a bit of a myth, in the training pictures he’s always jovial, I just think his face at rest is expressionless.His body language suggests he is in a depressed mood permanently.

No, I wasn't joking - which I literally only just realised makes me an absolute fecking moron
Surely a joke?
