He's been one of our best players in 2017. No reason for him to have only played in one of the last five games.
Yup in his most recent sporadic outings he has always looked one of our better players

His absence made little sense to me
 
He's been close to hitting this kind of form for well over a month now.
This.

He just needs a run now and he's also been very productive in the past 2 months. I doubt anyone has been more productive in that period on equal game time basis.
 
If he gets dropped for Lingard or Rashford again...
He hasn't even been at his best today. A lot didn't come off. But it's obvious that he's our best left winger do deserves to be our first choice.

And he's got end product too now

8 goals/assists in his last 8 starts now I think. Hes so good when hes on it.
 
Thought Carragher was harsh saying he hadn't done much. He's had a few quality runs, made the goal, and more importantly it's that threat of what he could do that scares the opposition.
 
By far an away a better option out there than Rashford. In fact a better option out there than anyone else we have. Play him consistently and the team will benefit.
 
No he hasn't. Nowhere near. The only other game he's had like this were he was putting the effort in was against Middlesbrough. You're lying to yourself.

Hardly telling lies to myself. He's been on the end of unfair treatment from Jose it's that simple. 6 starts in 20 games while lesser players such as Rashford and Lingard play ahead of him is a joke. Martial played well against Liverpool for example and often had 2/3 players marking him.

He has been involved in 8 goals in his last 8 starts, what did the other LW options provide while Martial was benched?
 
Good again. Doing well to maintain his good form despite not getting a run of games. Fair play to the lad
 
This is exactly what Mourinho has been waiting for. I'm glad that it appears Martial has taken everything on board and is working his arse off.
 
When someone is this good you just play him, it's not like he said Mourinho is cnut or anything.
 
He's comfortably better today than he has been most of the season. The difference is the work rate is there. If he plays like this then he'll play regularly.
I don't know why many of our fans are ignoring his performances since the Middlesbrough game. Which is probably his best game for us this season. Just waiting on Mourinho to credit himself for this.
 
Here we go again...

And what is your issue with my post? I said it appears that he's taken it on board, time will obviously tell. I'm hoping it's a similar situation to Mkhi, although I think he has been as hit and miss as Martial this season.

You are if you think he played well against Liverpool. Those stats have been boosted by cup games against lower league teams. His form in the league hasn't been great. Thankfully he's been much improved today and worked a lot harder. It's visible how much harder he's worked today and anyone disputing that is lying to themselves.

You've got it right. The manager coaches the players and decides when they are ready to his liking.
 
Jose didn't quite get both arms around him for the hug there when he came off. Clearly body language that shows me that Jose has an irrational hatred of him.

Care to tell me what the other LW's offered in his absence then?
 
Calm down folks..JM simply trying to get more from Martial, a player he knows possess a much higher ceiling but an introvert
 
"All Mourinho this, what a player he's molded Martial into by his hydrastealth kasparov-ly "your move bro" mind games.

See fanboys? mourinho knows what he is doing, he's taught mkhi how to play football and now he has another disciple who's learnt well from his time out of the team. It's not like he's ever played like this in his life again in the premiership.

Please nobody come up with the above crap. Mourinho was a bellend for dropping him and playing inferior talents. Case closed. Let him play his Masterful fecking chess on yahoogames.com

Very little. That's not to say Martial has been good. He clearly hasn't been for a lot of the season. The manager clearly knows what he's capable of and hopefully he's given him the boot up the hole he clearly needed.
 
Yes his two league goals this year obviously warranted him never not playing.

Raoul a.k.a. anything that Mourinho does is correct so we should all stop discussing anything Mourinho related.
 
They seem to have sorted it out. feck knows why it was all necessary in the first place....
