[Kevin]

Probably his best performance of the season, so that tells you how bad he has been so far. We really need to start seeing more from players like him, and fast.

Not exactly given the platform to do his thing though. I'll bet his all touches conpilation will show he's hardly lost the ball but due to lack of movement and slow play he's not had another choice but pass it back or sideways and disappear wih the rest of the squad. After having initially played some excellent passes and made some good runs.

 

[Litch]

He'll come good, needs games after sitting on bench pre-season.....

 

[Bwuk]

Wish he played upfront again. I'd love a 442 with him or Rashford partnering Zlatan.

 

[bosnian_red]

Looked a lot sharper from the bits I saw. Looked very quick again after looking a bit sluggish in earlier games, and ghosted past some players effortlessly. Just needs to keep at it, but no question he is our most promising player and best player for the left side by a distance. Think not starting him in the derby probably gave him a little kick in saying that he's not an automatic starter regardless of how he played last season.

 

[Scorpy]

Thought he was one of our decent players. Looked lively, but his contribution was always going to be limited with Pogba having a poor game and especially Rojo being useless.

 

[roykeane19]

Our only potentially world class player, played good today, just the whole team was shit around him

 

[Offside]

He isn't playing terribly. You can just see when he gets into the final position he just doesn't have the confidence. He snatches at shots or tries to pass or loses the ball. He needs a call and hopefully confidence will build.

 

[Eddy_JukeZ]

He should have buried that chance.

End product needs to improve. Hopefully he scores soon and gains some confidence and kicks on.

 

[RooneyLegend]

He and his good friend Rashford seem obsessed with being everywhere on the pitch and not where they need to be. He also needs to add more strings to his bow.

 

[Adam-Utd]

Needs to work on his left foot more, when he's running he loses his momentum when trying to cut in because he's always on the right foot.

 

[kouroux]

Martial is too keen to have the ball set to his feet. Before this he had done well to go past defending players, so it's ok. But it is not the case at this moment. He should learn to vary his playing style.

This. He always does the same thing, very predictable indeed.

 

[K2K]

Needs a perfomance today.

Jose has given him a lot of chances so far.

 

[Damien]

Can't see him performing on the right personally.

 

[K2K]

On the left now

 

[K2K]

Oh my.

 

[Jev]

Culmination of a horrible start to the season from him. He needs a few weeks on the bench, time to give Memphis or Young a chance. Martial doesn't deserve to be playing at the moment.

 

[El Zoido]

He looks in a right state. Why was he allowed to continue after the clash of heads?

 

[Skills]

One season wonder?

He was fouled, not his fault the referee doesn't call it.

 

[Amar__]

One season wonder?

Because he was fouled for their goal? Great stuff.

 

[Jev]

He was fouled, not his fault the referee doesn't call it.

Don't know if it was a foul, 50/50 for me. Either way, it's no excuse. Even if he had gotten away with it by getting fouled, what on earth is he doing trying to dribble two players right outside his own penalty area?

 

[BD]

Shouldve done better for the goal, but Shaw sprinting past him up the pitch before Martial even had proper control of the ball put him under unnecessary pressure.

 

[Kag]

Why would you play two shit players ahead of him?

 

[Jev]

Why would you play two shit players ahead of him?

Because Martial is shittier at the moment. He's been useless all season.

It was incredibly obvious that he was fouled. Martial was trying to create space so he could clear it and in that process was fouled. Only clueless people would fault him for that.

 

[Kag]

Because Martial is shittier at the moment.

He's twice the player.

 

[Nighteyes]

Oliver is a thick fecking cnut. Bastard.

 

[Vilev]

Regardless of whether it was foul or not, Martial has been shit. Actually a rest might do him some good.

 

[Jev]

He's twice the player.

About time he showed it then.

 

[K2K]

He needs one of those holidays Fergie used to send players on

 

[Kag]

About time he showed it then.

He has done over the past year. Perhaps you had your head up your arse.

 

[Heinzesight]

He looks in a right state. Why was he allowed to continue after the clash of heads?

He wasn't even following the physios finger when they were assessing him FFS

 

[Jev]

I'm not talking about last season. Do you still judge Rooney on how he used to play? Of course Martial is a huge talent who will be vital for us in many years to come. But at the moment he's not playing on merit and he needs, and deserves, to be benched.

Benching players as punishment is a nonsense strategy. He's better than Young and Memphis, both of whom are shite, hence he should play ahead of them.

If Young rifles one into the top corner today then fantastic, but until then I'm standing by my point.

He was benched just last league game and his replacement was terrible, in the last game cameo Memphis showed nothing either. He was also subbed in every game so far. What more do you need, he is our best player from last season out of the starting players and he plays less than anyone.

Who would you play instead of him?

 

[prateik]

It looks like he was still feeling the effects of the knock. one of those cases where I cant blame the player ... Not even a bit .

Other than that, the performance was rubbish, like every other player in the team.

If we're not going to sell him, we need to give Memphis a proper chance to play himself into form. I also assume we didn't sign Henrikh just to leave him on the bench. And Mata has done way, way more than Martial so far this season so he would be my first pick.

 

[Verminator]

Seemed ok til the goal.
Pussied out?

 

[ManRant]

Even if he was fouled for the goal I think he was very bad before that. Not looking for oasses and lost ball two times and 1 of it in a very dangerous position.

 

[Jev]

I'm not saying we should bench him as a punishment. I'm saying we should bench him because of form seeing as he's been crap this season.
