Yeah, very much like that, as if he thought Martial pussied out.
That was my opinion at the time and I haven't changed it.
The head injury I don't think was that bad, though of course it's hard to say. The tackle that led to the goal I don't think would have caused any injury, he seemed to be holding his head whilst going off and on the sideline.
He's looked not quite right mentally this season, maybe a hangover from France, the malaise seems to be getting worse and I really think against Watford he took the easy out.
Wasnt he concussed? A couple of weeks is standard in those cases.Barney says he won't be available for selection on Saturday. I don't think he's injured. Maybe, he's been given time off.
Dint know. That explains it then.Wasnt he concussed? A couple of weeks is standard in those cases.

Are you intimating that there's no link between the improvements today and Rooney being out of the side?Any link between him being out and us playing this way? Seems to be the prevailing logic here.
He's a bit of a lazy fecker tbh. Purely a ball to feet player. Doesn't run much off the ball. Rashford should retain his place & Mkhitaryan will start on the right.Any link between him being out and us playing this way? Seems to be the prevailing logic here.

The 'prevailing logic' line read like you were opposing it!Are you kidding me? Look at our corners!
That said, Martial when playing poor tends to run down narrow alleys and our play has suffered as a result.

There's more than enough to suggest there's more causation than simply correlation today.Post hoc ergo propter hoc, don't go down the logical fallacy route mate.

Logic isn't your strong point is it?Just one game, its precisely the same situation. You're basically having an argument with yourself from a week ago and i'm facilitating it.

I've already told you that there's more evidence of causation this time and its not just a single change. Is that too much for you to follow?Ahh going down the dismissive superiority route again, backed up by literally nothing . I'm not interested in your style of debate so i'm going to leave it there.

Last time you were arguing that a lack of change is evidence that Rooney wasn't the problem, and I argued that that one thing alone wasn't sufficient to prove anything.
Today there were a host of blatant benefits that were facilitated by his absence and the changes it enabled. Hence "more causation than just correlation".
If you want to continue this battle against logic then do it in the right thread.
He was playing brilliantly last year, so why should LVG get out of his legs?Looked better yesterday for the few times he got on the ball. Instead of running straight to the corner, he was passing the ball and made a couple of runs. I guess Jose needs to get the LVG out from his legs the most.

Still think Martial and Mkhitaryan are our best wide options, and hopefully we can get them in form as soon as possible. We are improving, but need at least one of our x-factor wide men to start winning games for us like the likes of Sanchez, De Bruyne, Sterling etc.
If Martial and Miki start firing again with Zlatan leading the line and Mata in the hole just in front of a midfield containing Pogba with the energy of Herrera at his side, my wet dream will finally be complete.
