What the hell was he instructed to do. The formation him and Mason were placed in was a mess.

 

[dannyrhinos89]

Pathetic effort from him, did he even make one run Or even break into a sprint at all.

 

[Dargonk]

Really poor performance from him today. For such a skillful player, he really struggles to influence games far to often. So often, he can be totally invisible and barely provides any defensive pressure a lot of the time as well.

 

[Sayros]

A passenger, along with Greenwood.

 

[Superunknown]

He coasts too much through games. Does the odd decent thing here and there. I feel like he needs a tough manager to be on his case all of the time in order to get something out of him.

 

[HowYouDoin]

He is pretty useless. People shouldnt be getting fooled by nice flashy goals he scores sometimes. He will always be a pretty frustrating player with poor movement and we should move on from him in the summer. We really are missing Rashford who has surpassed Martial by leaps and bounds.

 

[BlahRules]

Which shows OGS is the problem when both strikers played shit.

 

[KennyBurner]

Ive made to many excuses for him bu tnot today. The guy lacks urgency and its really starting to get on my nerves. I dont know what goes through his head sometimes. He is isolated with a defender and stands still with the ball? Take him on ffs!!!

 

[DRM]

I'm sorry but he's just not an elite striker and will never be!

 

[Verminator]

No goal so let the bashing begin.....

In all honesty, his previous 3 performances have been sub 4 out of 10, rescued by him scoring.
If scoring is all he offers, then it is fair to judge him by that metric.

 

[Wade3]

Martial's routine of not playing more than 3 good games in a row continues.

Ignore the fact that he‘s probably not fully healthy to support your agenda.

 

[Annihilate Now!]

I wonder what he thinks about when he sees DLC running around like a mad man at the other end of the pitch.

Probably thinks he's a daft cnut for using so much energy... Or he's thinking about fajitas.

 

[RedIan]

Poor game, not really in it.

 

[arthurka]

Which shows OGS is the problem when both strikers played shit.

Which one is 18? Nothing shocking about this performance standard Martial. Don't like him one bit leading the line, look at the effort DCL and Richarlison put into this. Hate to watch him play for us in this state absolutely hate it.

 

[Mainoldo]

Look at the formation. What was his actual job? Two of the strikers where asked to split with no one coming through the middle.

 

[bosnian_red]

First half both him and Greenwood were fine IMO, getting involved and sharp, but second half they were invisible. Everton just out fought them.

Richarlson and CL had different tactic hence why they looked better. What was you actually watching.

I bet Poch would have made them play better.
Can you play any other notes?

 

[r0663664]

In a year time, he will be sulking on the bench. Clearly has on effort whatsoever to pressure the defence. What many shots did he have today? Bruno can't play with such player. I would take Benteke, Wolves strikers, Deeney over Martial. That's how bad he is.

 

[Bobcat]

Utter shit today. When he has one of "those games" its like playing with 10 men.

Richarlison and Clavert-Lewin createad all sorts of trouble for us all game despite being bang average and Martial did the square root of feck all. Feck this talk of "no service". Hes not getting involved at all and thats 100% on him

I've had enough. Get rid of him this summer. We cant have a CF that only shows up half the time

 

[arthurka]

So you think this is a one off from Martial?

 

[Mainoldo]

I didn’t mention him though. So maybe you’ve been listening to the wrong album.

 

[fps]

Not sure it was the best choice to start with him over Ighalo.

 

[LJJT]

Don’t think you can really criticise or blame him today. Asked to play out wide rather than centre forward and he worked hard, just wasn’t in centre forward role to impact the game.

 

[Mainoldo]

So you think this is a one off from Martial?

Im thinking Both strikers failed in a stupid formation. Rashford would have failed too. I don’t really care how you feel about Martial. Like Ole it’s just agendas.

Ok.. I have no agenda against Martial but I dislike a real lack of effort. To see Bruno yelling at him to run the channel again and again was nothing short of embarrassing. But let's just agree to disagree about him.

 

[el3mel]

Ignore the fact that he‘s probably not fully healthy to support your agenda.

These "not fully healthy" is the easiest excuse to throw on for every poor performance. He played nearly the full game. Didn't hear of a player half fit playing more than 85 minutes without complaining of anything, with the approval of the manager and medical stuff. Nonsense, but yeah "agenda". I can call you "apologist" as well.

 

[Pennywise]

Absolutely diabolical again. Not sure there have been any players less interested in playing for us

 

[Bobcat]

Im thinking Both strikers failed in a stupid formation. Rashford would have failed too. I don’t really care how you feel about Martial. Like Ole it’s just agendas.

How the feck is it the "formation" if he barely manages to get on the ball and constantly drifts wide or into no mans land despite playing as a CF in a two striker system. Its the same rubbish now under 3 different managers

Ighalo who imo is a bang average striker did more in 10 than Martial did in 80. That's not on the formation, thats on the player

 

[Verminator]

I didn’t mention him though. So maybe you’ve been listening to the wrong album.

Many things can be blamed on tactics/managers, work ethic is not one of them.

The position he played is also the one he has always preferred, too.

 

[lenny_1248]

Never stops to amaze me. One result which does meet expectations and Martial instantly becomes a scapegoat.
He was not good, but maybe, just maybe, it is also due to a formation? Greenwood also was bad and too wide. And was not it Martial tracking back and making a tackle?
Disgraceful fans.

Ighalo played up top on his own. We switched formation. Like don’t come to me with rubbish. I’m going to stop respond to man that don’t have a clue about football.

Which position is that? False left side forward?

 

[Jonno]

Anonymous, in typical Martial style. For all his good form, he goes missing when you need a striker to turn up and feed off scraps. He may have been carrying an injury but he was poor.

 

[JJ12]

What the hell was he instructed to do. The formation him and Mason were placed in was a mess.

No it wasn’t. Quite obvious. He just a lazy feck.

Are you genuinely trying to talk like a gangster or are they typos?

Martial was largely poor today.

 

[Verminator]

Well he may have been told to play inside forward, but he definitely stuck to the wing.

 

[Djemba-Djemba]

Dogshit performance.

Could tell early on this was going to be one of those games he plays at walking pace.

 

[Mainoldo]

Are you genuinely trying to talk like a gangster or are they typos?

Martial was largely poor today.

How does a gangster talk? Don’t be that guy.

 

[Van Piorsing]

One of the most random players I've seen. He can change his game in matter of one week from solid to injured or not interested.
