It's a good thing we're not playing Liverpool anytime soon. Beat them and some bitter clown will dig up that video and make it public hoping for a ban.

That's pretty much how they got that Burnley's Gray banned. Those lots are so bitter :lol:

Its actually got its most likes and retweets on one of those united fan groups. Lots of people kicking off in the comments, united fans that is. Its safe to say if we've seen it the FA will have seen it.

Yeah but that's because no one is making any fuss about it and people are all jovial about it.

However if a bitter group get a hold of it and decide to start moaning about it with all the ridiculous PR stunts and crocodile tears, that'll put pressure on the incompetent FA and they'll want to take action.

That's how they banned that Gray fellow. No one cared about his stupid tweets yet after a bunch of bitter Pool fans moaned about it enough, the FA charged him.

Martial video will pass by because it's harmless and there is really nothing to fuss about but trust me if you have a bunch of bitter agenda driven clowns on it, the FA which can't handle pressure will fold.

I think Martial is too big a name and the story is too good, given the perceived beef jose has with him, in the media anyway, to ignore it. I would love for you to be right, but saying that word, its not going to be seen as being a good example to kids who idolise him, I'm pretty sure he will get a ban. I bet the video was made about 2 months ago but its coming out because it is on the eve of the final and the story will continue to get traction today to the point where its in papers tomorrow, I think anyway. I personally feel its a light hearted video of him trying to make someone laugh and he's enjoying himself.
 
No one going to mention him eating at Five Guys. Filling up on all those burgers, chips and pop is clearly affecting his performance. Such lack of dedication and attitude shouldn't be be tolerated.
 
He's a stupid boy. He shouldn't have said that on film.

You think the old white man dominated FA will ban a black man for saying "whats up, ma tigga" ? good luck to them. Meltdowns the past couple of days have been unreal for some reason, cup nerves?
 
It's nothing like the Gray case where he was actively homophobic and arguably racist. He just said a harmless phrase using a common vernacular in his community. It's like me as someone of Pakistani descent calling my friends a paki.
I don't think that would matter.
 
Lingard's laugh sounds different in this video.
 
Doubt anyone cares. Usually PL or FA twitter accounts get bombarded by fans of other clubs if there's stuff to get outraged about and zero mention of this.
 
Mods, maybe you should delete the last couple of pages of this thread before our resident rivals start getting ideas.

Players get banned for social media activity that could cause offence. This could cause offence. Its really not an outrageous idea that he could get banned.
 
He's black so it doesn't count, a complete nothing issue, he was just having fun as well, not saying it agressively at someone.
 
Southampton 2:3 Man Utd
Future world class definitely. So electrifying with the ball at his feet, gliding past the players. Not having a regular LB partner is taking 50% from his game because he has to track back too much.

Made crucial passes for 2ND and 3RD goal today.
 
Where as he for 60 minutes?
He changed the game imo, even though he was on the pitch through out.
 
So much ability on the ball, but his movement off it is dreadful. Has no willingness to make diagonal runs or try to get in the box when the ball's on the other wing.
 
Got to work harder off the ball. Has sick ability but he has too much pace to stroll around like Zlatan does.
 
Can't really expect much more from him playing ahead of Rojo. We need competent LB.
 
Was patchy today. Not bad for the 2nd and 3rd goals, but needs to work harder in improving other aspects of his game.

Didn't track back at all in the first half. Also the left back doesn't affect how much he has to defend.
 
Poor performance overall. Not sure the "tucked in" tactic worked that well. Had a couple of occasions where he ran at the CBs but was a bit more threatening when wide.

You understand when you say at all it means he haven't made a single run?

Ofc it does when you know your LB's strengths and weaknesses it's easier to track back. When you don't know it and when your partner keeps changing you gotta drop more deep to help out, spending more energy and not being as effective in counter attacks.
 
1. We don't get him the ball quickly enough to allow him to run at an isolated defensive player often enough.

2. He needs to stop dropping deep to pick up the ball like he's still playing in LVG's system when he should be staying and trying to make runs in behind.

3. Him and Mkhi are the only two player in the team capable of taking on multiple defenders with their dribble and his role in 2 of our goals was critical.

Right and I think if he was that absent minded in doing his defensive duties Mourinho would have taken him off at the half.

There were structural issues with our setup in the first half that created too many issues. For example, there were points in the 1st half Martial ended up coming inside defensively into a midfield position and left Rojo isolated on the wing.

Our LB is always more conservative than our right. It's entirely up to how the opposition plays how much defense Martial plays. In the first half Rojo was all alone with no help from him or the midfield.

He wasn't effective today because he played poorly.
 
I know I shouldn't care, but his moody personality just makes it very difficult to really embrace him as a United player. Even during celebrations, it seems he can't be arsed.
 
Needs a better LB behind him, as good as Valencia has been we need to give license to the LB to go forward, too often does Martial find himself with 0 support.

I really can't take you seriously considering you're claiming he haven't made a single run back to help out Rojo.

As a poster above has stated if it was the case of Martial not helping out defensively, Mourinho would have taken him off.

Watch the replay of the winner. He is showing enough emotion there.

Not making a single run back are your words, not mine. I said he left Rojo alone which is true. Maybe it was because Cedric didn't move forward but Rojo was frequently alone no matter the reason.

No Mourinho wouldn't have. That's just guess work. The change was a tactical one.
