Improved after he scored, before that was sloppy. But a tremendous talent that you really have to persist with because he can score out of nothing, create out of nothing and is ridiculously productive this season.
 
Not a great game by his standards but still got a goal and an assist.

Incredible the numbers Martial, Jesse and Pogba have. Also, didn't Mkhi have 5 assists after the first 3 games? Talk about having fallen off a cliff.
 
10 goals and 10 assists for the season is a great return so far, looked a bit off the pace tonight though.
 
Wasn't even fully fit. From that goal onwards, he played well.

Yeah he was an injury doubt. Surprised he lasted 80 minutes but good to see him lasting longer. Mixed game but can't complain about his return. He's looking to have a better season than his debut.
 
I don’t understand why people are so hard on him. Carragher and Nev are being pretty critical and saying Mourinho is ready to get him out the team for Sanchez because he’s not quite at the top level. Sanchez was at Udinese, Neymar was at Santos at the same age.

What is this obsession with players not being good enough at the age of 22 if they aren’t scoring 25 goals a season, and he doesn’t even play upfront.
 
Carragher saying Martial will suffer if Alexis comes to us. I bloody hope not. We need someone to play on the right. Just depressed me that. He gets a goal and an assist and they talk like he's not very good.

Exactly! So irritating! Almost as if they want him to leave or something. Sick of them always having a pop at him. I bet if Martial were English they wouldn't be talking like that.

Carragher saying crap about Martial needs to score in a big match, like against Liverpool etc. He's forgotten Martial scored his debut goal for us against Liverpool:rolleyes:

Always has been to be honest! Even last year, in a poor season by his standards, his goals/assists taking into account his minutes played actually weren’t bad. Exceptional player.
 
Imagine him destroying fullbacks once Sanchez is there drifting around the field and taking attention away from Martial, leaving Martial with a lot more 1v1's :drool: Feel like martial in particular will explode with Sanchez around. But also Lukaku with the delivery Sanchez can provide. Talk of him getting out of the team is laughable. If that was the case, Mourinho would've been open to the swap with him, not Miki.

These are the things that annoy me about these people. Kid scores a banger + an assist, their first instinct is to criticise him. Give him English nationality and they'd be wanking themselves silly.

Neville has especially been over critical of Martial no matter what he does. I remember he still found ways to be on Martial's case after he scored us the winner against Spurs at OT this season.

Damned if he does and damned if he doesn't. Martial just can't win with some of these English pundits.

The only thing I agreed with Neville about was that Martial needs to tap into that extra 5% that everybody knows is there. I have no doubt it will happen for him. But just because it's not there yet (even though he's still being productive), doesn't mean that you should cast him aside. He's not a liability on the pitch, so give him his chances.
Absolute state of these pundits.

Carragher and Nev are full of crap, Marital have to potential to be world class. It's amazing how they could suggest that martial will lose out if we get Sanchez. Martial's form this season has been outstanding.
 
Yeah it seems that he still needs certain time to really get into the game. Sexy hips everytime he moves btw, shaking his head a little then we would have Ronnie at OT tonight :D
 
He’s a coaster and that’s why I don’t think he’ll ever get near the Ballon D’Or. I don’t think he’ll be dumped for Sanchez though, that will be Mata on the right.

He really should have worked harder for Shaw tonight though.
 
He had a bad 25 mins and some people talk about a bad game. He was outstanding, even besides the goal and assist he created a lot of dangerous situations. Almost beggars belief how quickly some posters are to talk shit about our own players.

Not the right place, but Mkhi is apparently Lucifer reborn now. Thinking maybe I should stay away from the match day threads.

It was a great goal but he was far from outstanding.
 
Carragher quite harsh in his assement of Tony on MNF, I for one don't see Sanchez's proposed arrival as a problem for Martial as we surely can't be buying Sanchez to play in a position where we already have 2 players already battling it out for

I think Martial has won José over this season and he'll continue to be in the side with Sanchez either as a number 10 or wide on the right

Carragher is just bitter, and will always look for negatives in the positives when it comes to United.

I beg to differ. Without even bringing his injury scare pre match as a mitigating factor, I maintain the view that outside of about 25 mins he was pretty great. Could have had 3 goals with better luck with passes and a better finish.

He’s an attacker, he creates and scores, what more do people want? It’s a sad testament to some of the demands on here when after a game like this you have several posters popping up with «didn’t track back enough». I didn’t even think he was so bad wrt that area either.

Same thing inexplicably happens to every other player on the team. (Pogba overpriced/no better than RLC, Rashford too inconsisted-shocker I know, for a 20 yo)
 
It’s going to be a real shame when we sell him to Arsenal... thanks for the goals martial
 
If he can add that extra 5% to his game like Gary was suggesting tonight he'll be unstoppable. I think the criticism of him by pundits is way over the top and if he was english he'd be lauded heavily. However, I do think he's definitely got more room to grow and push himself even more in games.

As soon as he dominates more games, especially the big ones the narrative will change and he'll get the respect he deserves and is earning every game.
 
10 goals and 10 assists.

Just makes me so happy. Double it for the rest of the season, please!
 
He was rubbish, scored a great goal and improved afterwards. Despite his numbers, his overall game isn't good enough for a top team at the moment.

He's doing a lot more than other players in top teams. Not really sure you can put down a performance that includes a goal and an assist. Football is about definite outcomes.

I mean if that's what you think is a great performance, what can I really tell you? I'm not here to criticise Martial but you cant get upset when people want more from him when you are trying to call that an outstanding performance.
