Was he on the bench mid week?
No it's true. You're just speaking about your opinion, which I appreciate, but some others can't stop talking about him maybe leaving in summer because of not playing, while the boy himself looks really happy and confident.
If you bothered reading what I was replying to then you'd get the logic unless you just wanna be blind to it
I used his exact words and just changed the names while getting to the same conclusion, what clearer response do you need
Refute what I posted and then you deny his post as illogical as well, fine with me
I thought he was brilliant when he came on. He deserves to be first choice like.
Are people really still spouting this tired legs nonesense? What does it even mean?
Electric when he came on, his close control is top class and that lovely disguised pass into Lukaku was a peach, then het got an assist, just a shame he couldn't squeeze in the chance when Herrera played him in.
If he can't start the easier home games against the shit teams I really don't see how he'll start the games against tougher opposition or away games where Mourinho will need his defensive wingers for a defensive performance. I've made peace with that. I just hope he's content with what he's getting and keeps contributing
It was savage indeed. We do that when we play among friends and it feels pretty humilating. Imagine it between pros in front of thousands and watched by millions.
Don't have to imagine - look at Townsend's reaction when he realises he's been done!
It means that if he does well in the few minutes he gets as a sub he did it because Rashford and co tired the opposition for him, if he doesn't do well then he's useless and erratic and they+Mourinho were proven right to doubt him.
It also means that if he does well in his sub performances then it means the Mourinho plan is working and nothing should be changed he should remain on the bench, if he starts to underperform then again it just means he is not starting material.
In other words he can not win. Proving yourself by playing well as a sub and win a starting spot in the team? Apparently it is a laughable theory on redcafe in 2017.

if this guy was playing elsewhere, the world would be going crazy about him and he'd certainly be getting mentioned alongside mbappe right now
And they resorted to kicking him soon after.
Tony better get himself some sturdy shin pads.
Exactly.
I don't know if you watched Verrati being nutmegged by Isco in a recent match between Italy and Spain. His reaction was worse even.
The front 3 for the French national team for the next few years is a joke, Marital-Mbappe-Dembele. And with some pretty crazy depth as well. Even more of a joke is realizing that their manager doesn't call up Martial and starts Giroud 
I don't think Mkhi's defensive contributions are much more notable than Martial's. I think Martial's a much smarter passer than some give him credit for, and the combination of his close control and pace would be terrifying up the middle.
Happens a lot to Martial. They're scared of him. I just hope that, like Ronaldo, he doesn't shrink from the odd kick here and there and instead takes it as a positive knowing they have to do that as he's that good.
I did not but I think I heard about this. I might have to look that up.
What a player, thrilling to watch. Would have liked him to start this match considering he's not playing for France but he was great when he came on.
Just wish he would start alongside Rashford and Lukaku now.

Do that. It is a bit surprising because pros should be above that. In a way it shows you how self concerned they are.Happens a lot to Martial. They're scared of him.

They'll get rid of the manager soon and appoint someone who's actually up to it.

Just had a look and he didn't react how I was expecting him to. I thought he'd go hunting him down like a rabid dog from what I know of him! To me, it looked like he was a bit in awe of Isco.
That is what I mean. He shouldn't be, he is a pro. He shouldn't stopped because he got megged, that's pathetic
I would normally agree but I don't know the context of the game. Like, did it happen late in the game where he'd have been shattered? Were Spain winning by a big margin and Italy had stopped trying? Maybe he was instructed to stay further forward to initiate a counter attack? Still, it's no excuse I suppose. I guess, as he is a very good player, it was hard for him to take and, as you said with them being self concerned, he took an extra few seconds to compose himself.
Townsend did the same today. When he realised he just carried on the other way with his head in his hands. It's nice having a player who can do that to opposition players.
I see what you're saying, and agree. But I highly doubt Jose sees this. For him, somebody making an 'effort' is enough, and Martial's body language might go against him in this argument!

Not sure why Jose can't try him as a CF with Rashford on the left if Lukaku need a rest. Or Rashford as CF with Martial on left.
This is what pisses me off. What's stopping him from playing Martial at left, Rashford at right with Lukaku at CF?
No we need Mata, Mata may not have goals/assists like Martial or Rashford, he helps us recycle possession, without him our forwards would constantly lose possession, Mata also sometimes drops deep and helps build play from midfield.
Agree somewhat with this. I see Martial taking this role though being a playmaker and a wing forward - push Rash to the right as inside forward with Valencia overlapping.
Just watched KDB score a winner for City and its a reminder of what could happen to us. I bet some Chelsea fans at the time thought Oscar was the better player to bet on too.
I really hope not.
I really hope not.
That could be easily remedied by playing Mata instead of Mykhitaryan.
He's happy at the club. He's playing well, there's not really anything to worry about.
Martial scoring the winner for City at OT after a 200m transfer. I think I would cry for days.
You're just going to great lengths to make excuses for a manager having a mare, Mata can play through the middle and I bet he prefers it so. With Rashford and Martial flanking Lukaku we could actually look dangerous moreso if our AM isn't falling over or turning over possession at every other move.
Yeah, sums up Palace doesn't it.
Seriously that's a bit unprofessional, just keep on playing. You got megged, big deal.
5 goals and 6 assists in 9 appearances is pretty outrageous to be honest. He should beat his first season tally of 17 goals and 11 assists.
He's really coming along nicely. The reaction from the crowd was fantastic when he nutmegged Townsend. You can just tell how much the supporters love him, the excitement within the ground just rises as soon as he starts warming up.
If I was being critical I'd just say that i want to see a bit more urgency at times. He lost the ball at one point having had plenty of time to control it and do something. He needs to be on the move the second he receives the ball and i think he'll elevate himself into the elite. For me it's the one final hurdle that i would personally like him to overcome. I'd start him more, regardless, based on what he's already doing. But i just think he can be even better.
