Goes both ways. You're happy to assume his attitude is bad

I didn't assume anything. I raised the possibility that it could be an attitude problem, it could be or or maybe not. I don't know any more than the hysterical fanboys who are sure Mourinho is in the wrong here.
 
It really is strange to see so many people who seem to care more about individual players than they do for the club. Wanting Martial to leave and become great elsewhere is just baffling to me.

Lack of faith in the manager is one of the many problems that have emerged since Fergie left.

The two aren't mutually exclusive IMO, I care about the club and therefore I want to see our best wide left player starting to increasse our chance of winning. I'd have no issue if he was dropped because someone had put in the performances to take his place, but Rashford offers nothing out there most of time and is clearly inferior.

Fergie earned the faith, none of the ones since have, we are sitting in 6th staring down the barrel of a potential 3rd season out of the last 4 without making the CL.
 
How do you know this if you're not actually there to observe him in training, in private meetings etc ?
Neither of us know anything for sure. However, I can't see anything to suggest he has a bad attitude. You think if there were examples of this, Mourinho would get his mouth pieces in the press to do a number on the lad. Yet, we don't have any of these stories leaking so Mourinho could further justify his stance. I'm pretty certain he knows this is not going down well with the fans.

Martial also seemed pretty engaged and involved in the matches when he's come on lately, so I can't see an attitude problem.

Well if all we have to go on is the performances of the players, he clearly is wrong. The idle speculation seems to be coming from those who want to say he isn't
 
Yeah feck the team, the club. Let's get the message across that it's unacceptable for the manager to pick the team.
Or get the message across that playing players in their real positions is better than playing players out of their position. Or the message that our best player last year should be starting. Or the message that Mourinho is complaining at a lack of goals yet decides to bench our highest goal scorer last year on the bench. Or get the message across that we are slow and predictable when Ibra is as tired as he currently looks, starting every match. Or the message that we are still sixth because of a lack of goals, which we might not be in if he wasn't so blind in his substitutions and at times highly questionable lineups.
 
Maybe he has a poor attitude ? If so, then its completely justified.
If that's the case, drop him completely. He doesn't deserve to be involved.

It's all hear say and guessing. It's just weird that he'd complain about lack of goals and not use last seasons top scorer.

I'd prefer to put my faith in the manager rather than those speculating what it might be.

Why ? He's obviously a talented player who can contribute to our play. I just don't buy into this constant questioning of lineups and player selections by people who know feck all about the actual reasons behind it.
 
We should probably go with him on the left and Rashford on the right in the second half. Mata, Henrikh, Zlatan and Pogba are all pretty much operating in the same area.

Won't happen of course.
 
Please get him on for Rashford who has done absolutely feck all the past two games.
 
If only the clueless clown Mourinho had started Martial, we might have been 4-0 up by now. What was he thinking?!?
 
Have it on good authority that Rojo was booted at halftime due to advocating the introduction of Martial. This makes me sad.
#FakeNews
 
This reminds me a bit of the Kagawa fanboys who wanted their beloved Shinji to seek a transfer because the manager wasn't playing him regularly.

You getting the message over alright? Can't hear anything amongst the songs myself
 
3-0 up and people are whinging because their favourite player isn't playing.

Well someone actually said before game that even if we win Mourinho has to be sacked because Martial is not playing.
 
Maybe Martial has asked to leave in the summer so that's why he's not playing.

Yeah Martial is everyone's favourite player, it's not possible that people rate someone here if they aren't his fanboys.

3-0 up against a poor team, a fresh Martial could run this Leicester team ragged and play himself in to some form but instead Jose brings on Fellaini.. nothing to do with fanboying.
