His smirk was just brilliant.

Didn't look tired at all at the end there.
True, but that could just be a matter of channelling your last reserves. He knew it was a huge chance to put the game away. That's what great players do.
Had a decent game upfront today. Needs space to really come alive though. Does he get the assist for the penalty?
Would have scored if he wasn't brought down, I'm sure. Exciting player to watch, even when he's not scoring. Always looks likely to be able to create a yard of space when the ball is pinged to him with his back to goal. Got a shot away from it in the first half.
He looked like a kid in school, smirking while his mate is getting bollocked by the teacher. I burst out laughing.
Third name on the squad sheet for me behind De Gea and Smalling.
His (lack of) expressions are just hilarious.
Already a big fan of this lad, has all the talent to build the future of our attack around.
In fantasy football he does.
Safe to say we are on our way to rebuilding our spine. DeGea - Smalling - Schneiderlin ( still needs to establish himself)- Martial.
Well he should because he was pretty damn important in winning it
Ridicilous talent. Sometimes hit and miss sure, but he makes things happen. He's got that X-factor.
I thought his all round game was below its usually high standards.
But I loved that last little touch of his before he got sent down for the penalty. He knew were the defender was and played him into the foul perfectly. Very mature forward play.

Should have scored off that chance in the first half though. After that great bit of skill, he hit it bang straight at the keeper.
The guy is 19 he's not tired for fs. His form is allowed to dip without people making up that he's tired. Overall it was a solid performance and could easily have got a goal or assist
His acceleration just after pass from Ander is another reason why he should play as striker. Another thing is staying cool and waiting for defender to make a move and in the end his last mistake in the match.
Signs of a deadly striker aren't stopping from occurring.

He got an assist
Does the penalty count?
It does. He's the one that gets the penalty. Technically he earns it.
You can argue it's not from open play, but the book says it's one.
Great stuff
He doesn't smile much but his performance really put a smile on my face.
So cool he should be the next James Bond. Even in an off day for his high standards he still put in a performance like that. What a talent we have in our hands.
Looks like he played a free role up front today, I lost count how many times he switched sides in the first half. Played more forward than Rooney too today which is a positive.
I was disappointed when he was brought down. Really hoped he'd score.
90 minutes into football and chill and he gives this look
Ha!
Hopefully Depay starts to settle and hits his Dutch form and gives us an exciting new era up top.
Bring Januzaj back and we could have the youth forward lineup of dreams.
The look on his face is priceless most of the time. It's looks almost apologetic, like he feels bad for the defenders he's burning.
It really is the importance of having pace upfront. I hate Rooney bashing all the time but if that was him in Martials position he wouldn't have made it to the box without being tackled first.
The fact we can sit deep and leave him 1 up against 2 defenders is so important, as he can just pull into the channel and no defender will beat him to the ball.

Martial has had a great start but I'm not 100% sure he's ready to be our no.1 "90mins every game" main striker and there's a danger we'll burn him out by doing so. The mistake was not bringing in another more experienced striker in the summer, so that we could at least rest him occasionally or take him out of the firing line if he goes out of form
Assist vs Germany.
Fecking brilliant.
More than an assist
