Lost so much without Zirkzee as the focal point/link man
There was no clear and immediate danger. If Martinez jumped on a ball with two feet and there was no other player anywhere close - would it still be a card? How far the other player needs to be to draw the line between card vs. no card? None of this is clear-cut. He got a yellow, it was more than enoughIt wasn’t overturned because they like to back each other up. Contact is not a requirement for a red card and not should it be. If a player is lucky enough to avoid contact that’s a good thing. We shouldn’t need to see really dangerous contact to know when a player has endangered an opponent.
He can't score goals consistently.
He is not the answer.
We needed Højlund for Zirkzee, not Rashford.Zirkzee going off has killed our momentum
It was not a tackle, ffs. He just jumped on the ball and the oppo player was not even that closeYea because thinking a tackle is bad means we don't support united
Zirkzee was the one who made as dangerous.Our sub has helped palace
Obviously tired. 3rd start in a week.Ridiculous to sub Eriksen who has been superb.

"Clearly" is in the eyes of a beholder. Yellow was the most that could have been given for this. Nobody would say a word if even yellow was not given, had it been Rodri instead of Martinez
He was been so wastefulLost so much without Zirkzee as the focal point/link man
