Not sure of the time. But yeah when he turned 3 of them. He knocked it forward then just stopped, and then looked a bit unsure while walking. Cramp I reckon. Hopefully anyway.

He again rejected new contract. I am affraid that this is his last season here. I guess his agent has many offers on the table
Not sure if it was cramp or whether he knew he'd touched it a bit too far and wouldn't get to it so he stayed back to hold his defensive shape.
I just really hope we can put the Martial FC nonsense to bed this season. It's one of the more infuriating narratives that I've read on here and that's saying a lot given the weird stuff that catches on sometimes.
Sanchez doesn't fit Mourinho's prototypical striker but I'd love to see Sanchez down the middle with Martial continuing on the left. I feel like they'd link up really well, and Sanchez's movement would open up space for Martial.

If we are thinking of the same moment I think it was just he miscontrolled it after that and knocked it too far forward so didn’t bother going after it realising he couldn’t get to it. Decided to hold a defensive position. Don’t recall seeing him walking gingerly or anything. I think not long after that there was a bit where he put in a decent bit of effort chasing a ball down and closing people down.
He is the best attacker at this club by an absolute mile.
Despite being out of favour at the start of the season, he's had about four or five very good games this season.
He's been one of our best players.

The RMC article that said he's rejected a new contract also said both parties are still talking and the club is confident he will sign.
Didn't catch the second half, had to go and get trounced in a game of my own. Saw the highlights, if anyone knows where I can watch the full match that would be class.
Back to the matter at hand. We have known for a long time at this stage that when given a run of games, Martial delivers. No doubt eyeing up another player of the month award at this stage.
This is just another example of people needing to settle down and realise that players go through good and bad form. Especially young players that have had his treatment.

Really?! Didn't his agent said that Martial wants to go and it is only question will he go now for a fee or for zero fee when his contract expires?
Yes, his agent did. Think things have shifted since then. Every journalist in the land says we are back in negotiations with him.
Club as in Woodward. It's commendable he wants to keep hold of Martial but money is not the matter. Martial may not want to work with Jose beyond this season.
Where are those posters who claimed buying Willian and selling Martial was a reasonable idea? Martial has many faults, he is lazy and needs motivation, but he's got all the tools to be another KDB. We should not let him go, it was foolish of Jose to antagonize him by dropping him for Sanchez when he was in a bit of form back then.
Made up to see him in form and scoring again.
That first goal really is great. Lovely first touch after a double deflection, and then gets the shit off quickly
He's in poor form, but Lukaku struggles with that kind of stuff at the best of times.

He should be our striker - He can score goals out of nothing and has good technique.
One of our few in form players, but I'm happy it's him. He has such a high ceiling, and could carry us if at his best.
Possibly yeah. I do think he was bringing him off to protect him or make sure he was fresh anyway. Maybe a bad decision in hindsight but we'll need him ready for Juve.
Keep Lukaku as striker, but play Sanchez down the right, and allow Lukaku/Sanchez to exchange positions throughout the game. Martial can have the LW to himself and drift inside at times, as he did today.
I think our managers should realise it first. Especially if those players are really talented in the first place. One bad half and he will be out of the team again, and it's not like we have Ronaldo on the bench.
It’s not about effort, it’s about giving him the opportunity to shine. Which he has earned, yet again... I hope he gets a good run now, even if he has a bad game or two. Do Lukaku and Matic really deserve to ‘play themselves in shape’? Not for me, Martial does.
Edit: I’ve always been a massive fan, but started to give up on him initially this season. I’m firmly back on Martial FC, and proud to be.

Really happy for & with him today. Stood out when it mattered.
Does this mean he has some info that Martial will be signing the new deal soon? This guy is associated with Di Marzio yes?
Really happy for him. The contract extension can't come soon enough.
Fantastic display from him. I never understood this notion that he is not a fighter. He has always shown his quality when competing for a position. The reason Martial had problems was because of his personal life and tactical profile. He is not a hard working winger like the manager wants, he is a player for the final third that has great end product.
Hopefully he can keep going, because a brace at Stamford Bridge is very rare for us.

Tony's brought the sauce
Simple as that.
Amen brother
Not sure why anyone would even want to imagine that, let alone actually want it to happen!
No better time than now!
Exactly, especially when we had Rashford too. Wondering as to when we will see more people jump onto this bandwagon.
Probably just Romano saying he deserves one, he'd come out and say it if he was signing an extension.
Don't make that mistake of signing a new contract as long as Mourinho is here.
He's signing a new one lads.
It's so hard to watch when he's up for it because you know there'll be a time where he won't be.
He's normally a completely emotionless bloke and the last few matches he's showed that he gives a shit in a massive way. Long live this current run of form.

Great performance today, he almost won us the match.
Funny isn't it that a 22 year old player begins to look like he gives a shit and is actually motivated once his manager starts treating him with respect and care. Who would have thought!?
I noticed that some of the moaners are a bit calmer after todays game. Then I remembered Martial scored twice. The reason might be that Martial FC is content.
Not even he can be that stupid.
Did you miss last season or something? He's absolutely capable of being that stupid and showed it less than a year ago.
Or maybe because we almost beat Chelsea when most were expecting us to get thrashed? Dunno why anyone would moan after that.I noticed that some of the moaners are a bit calmer after todays game. Then I remembered Martial scored twice. The reason might be that Martial FC is content.
