Check you out Nostradamusway too early and caught Chelsea off guard.
This is still an issue so stupid bump

Really? Neither of these were the answer. An old timer wouldn't work and someone who doesn't want to be here wouldn't have worked either.And some fell for the club line of not needing Dybala and Mandzukic after they rejected us 'because we have Greenwood', it was such a blatantly stupid thing to do.
That wasn't my point, I wasn't fussed about either, I was more pointing out that we went from trying to sign two strikers (becasue surely we thought we needed them), to signing none, and then claiming we didn't need any anyway because of Greenwood.Really?

Rashford should have stepped up and hasnt so he needs replaced in January.
In fairness Martial scored either 2 in 2 or 2 in 3 (I forget) before injury. You can't throw him into the same camp as Rashford who has looked fairly shot this season.Yeah the Rashford and Martial solution has fallen flat on its face, good to finally put this bed to issue. Reminds me when Moyes put Jones and Smalling on notice and they didn't come through, although I swear they did a better job than the aforementioned strikers.
I'm debiting the injuries as well in this example.In fairness Martial scored either 2 in 2 or 2 in 3 (I forget) before injury. You can't throw him into the same camp as Rashford who has looked fairly shot this season.
Martial can't help getting injured.
Obviously it's not the fact there's only 2 of them that's the massive problem, it's that whoever isn't up front needs to play on the wing. If the two were vying for one position we may have got through, as a lot of clubs only have a couple of main strikers.
Chelsea away last season.Legit question, has Martial ever scored more than one goal in a game? I don't remember any.
Southampton 2-3 UnitedLegit question, has Martial ever scored more than one goal in a game? I don't remember any.
We need both. In January. We are an actual striker and a top midfielder short. As far as a first XI goes we have forwards but no strikers and only one orthodox midfielder (good enough) in McTominay.While I do agree we need a clinical goal scorer to bury the few chances we are creating I don’t think signing a proven striker will solve our problems. There is something wrong in the heart of our midfield. It seems like the midfielders are happy to pass back to our center backs and let them play the ball up to our strikers. We need more forward passing from our midfield before we spend big on a new striker. Now I’m not sure if it’s down to the players or the manager but something needs to change.
You weren't kidding there. 40 goals between Martial and RashfordI am quite optimistic. With our new style of play, Martial and Rashy I can see 40 goals between them. Pogba & Mct 15 goals. Mandz & Greenwood 10 goals at least. James, Lingard, Sanchez and Maguire combine 15 goals. So it is 80 goals.
Chelsea, Southampton, West Ham. Very low for a player of his quality though.Legit question, has Martial ever scored more than one goal in a game? I don't remember any.
Who was the last to score a hat trick.Southampton 2-3 United
WHU 3-2 United
Those from LVG second season.
And Chelsea away last season.
These are from my mind. Can't think of others though but your point is still valid. That's a very low number for a player who has been here for 3 years now.
In all competitions: Zlatan against St. Etienne (16/17)Who was the last to score a hat trick.
Yes. you answered both. I meant in Premiership so your right, on both counts.In all competitions: Zlatan against St. Etienne (16/17)
In the PL: RVP against Villa (the title winning game in 12/13).
And since that game we've lost our 2 most creative and best attackers in Martial and Pogba.5 goals in 8 Premier League games since the Chelsea game (7 in 10 for all competitions).
When you are relying on Martial (who scored 12 goals in 38 games last year) to score the goals you know that there is not enough goals in the team.And since that game we've lost our 2 most creative and best attackers in Martial and Pogba.
Colour me shocked.
OK, Completely cherry picked stats.When you are relying on Martial (who scored 12 goals in 38 games last year) to score the goals you know that there is not enough goals in the team.
