Good bit of movement for the goal and when he hit the post. He's just stood watching in the past, if he keeps this up then I'd start him ahead of Rashford until Rashford learns to start passing the ball.
All you haters will be disgraced. Admittedly martial is lazy. But even being lazy his numbers rival those hard workings players you feel make movements all the time. So those who chose to write him off, even in his laziness he is putting up such numbers. Imagine when he turns it up a bit. Which he will. He was quite aggressive in his first season. If ole puts trust in him and makes him feel he is a big part of the team he will deliver. And those who keep repeating that silly phrase about players : “he will not make it here” as if you re gods who know the future. You will all be well disgraced.
Been excellent today. He's a striker alright.
Sums it up for most, I’d expect.There are no haters. People like myself who are asking for more movement are doing so because we all know he can do so much better. We know that he has the talent to be a consistent 20 goal scorer if he puts in the effort. And with that being said, so far in the game today, he has looked great and made some good runs and was rewarded for his work with the opening goal of the game. That's what we want to see. Martial running onto the ball and taking his chances rather than just getting balls to feet. If he keeps up the type of play he has being doing so far today, not only will I want him in the team, but I will want him in the starting 11
YesDid he shoot with his left when the ball hit the post?
I remember him doing it a couple of time last season too. Looks like something he has been working on, good on him.
So much better up top. Can drift across the front line without worrying about tracking back. Should be our forward against Chelsea.
Brilliant half from Martial. Best I have seen him play for a very long time
Strange, considering he was probably one of the best players under Mourinho. Not everything can be blamed on Mourinho, Martial's form fell off last season after he was sacked.He may be a player who needs to be encouraged instead of put down like Jose does.
Yeah big improvement in his effort levels today compared to normal.
