He played well. Him and Rashford almost dragged an underperforming team to a win tonight.

What an all round player he's turned in to. Fantastic game from him tonight. His hold up play for Rashford's goal was superb, then his finish was different class. On another day he could have had another hat trick. Worth noting that he created a couple chances himself through his pressing, which is something he needs to get a lot of credit for, especially given some, including myself, didn't think he had it in him. Top performance. A shame his goal didn't get the win.
That chance that Rashford created with a great piece of skill and great ball to Martial? Or did you have your eyes closed for that part? Martial missed a better chance at 0-0.

Wasteful people.
I think the team is looking a bit leggy at points in the game, like the start and in the second half. Playing the same line up for 5 consecutive games isn't easy, especially through short period of time. A lot of players where off tonight.
Hopefully next season we add depth to our squad.

Great save by the keeper, well lucky save by the keeper. his work for the Rashford goal was brilliant, his goal wasn’t bad either but if he’d scored from that run Martial FC would have to call a meeting so we can discuss getting his statue made. I really want to know if he meant to let that bill roll whilst he went round the other side.
great hussel today and won the ball back a few times.

Excellent performance. We had two good performances in attack and two good performances in defence. Not enough good performances to win a game though. More’s the pity.
Can't really ask much more from him, maybe the sitter earlier on but he reacted so well since that moment.
I’d love for him to score a hat trick every gameIt's the right thing to do.
But I would still love to see him have a higher conversion rate
I think he’s been a revelation lately. He will have quiet days; all strikers do, but he’s got so many strings to his game. Pace, dribbling, hold up, passing... fun to watch!
Nail on the head. We lacked a midfield today. Only Liverpool can win matches without a midfield.
Easily the only player to leave the pitch with full credit. Amazing performance overall even if he missed 1 or chances. Fantastic holdup play in the first goal and amazing run in the second. The other run he did solely in the second half was great, even if the finish was poor.
Martial pressing has gotten so aggressive and relentless. Never thought I'd see a game where Martial presses more than anyone else in the team but these past 2 games have shown that. What was his distance covered? I'm sure he's in the 10 km or close. His usual ones were around 9km.

Yeah, that run in the second half when he picked up the ball inside our own half was excellent to watch. Seems to be maturing, really finding his identity as a player.
We lacked a midfield and a right back. Then BOTH our left backs got injured. The writing was on the wall at that point.
Head and shoulders above the rest today.
Nah bruv I wasn't. But I edited my post.
That bill roll was definitely accidental. He already started looking tired during that run and by the time he got to finish he was dead hence why the poor finish after that run. Fatigue had already hit his legs and couldn't get his finish right and the way he wanted. But yeah had that gone in, a status would have been erected in the Caf
Brilliant game but he should be kicking himself tonight for those misses.
Tonight if even either one of Bruno or Pogba weren't off we'd have sailed the game. I'm not usually into the over exaggerated fatigue narrative but I think the lads were leggy tonight. It started showing since against Aston Villa and tonight we were done by the second half.
Is Redmond AWB’s Lennon to Evra? Didn’t AWB struggle against Redmond earlier in the season as well?
Absolutely the best player in the pitch and has been the best united player since the restart. Should have had few more goals in last 3 matches.
24-25 years old. Hitting his sweet spit and looks more interested than ever. Never seen him run as much. Under Mourinho, he almost looked unfit and hardly ever broke a sweat.
That's what really killed the game. Pogba's mistake being too slow in his half cost the first goal, fair play to him he made up for it by being involved in the two other goals but Bruno was very poor and nothing came off for him, I thought it was good to sub him and get him some rest.
Martial was my MotM, created the goal with a brilliant control and lay off, and scored a worldie out of not much at a pace and penetration that I've missed seeing from him from the left wing. Him and Rashford were switching positions here and there and it's what allowed that second goal to come off. His first miss, I thought it was a pretty good shot actually, he tried to go near the keeper's head but that left hand save was great by the GK. The second was off a crazy sprint and mazy run through defenders. I know he should have laid it off to Greenwood, but he had a bit of tunnel vision at that point and how many times have we heard here before how he's not a striker because he lays off too many opportunities where he should shoot. Well, he's doing more single-minded shooting like a striker should and I'm not mad at him for it. The circumstances in the last few minutes have put a negative twist on all the performances tonight unfortunately.
Feck me I’ll be having dreams about performances after that post.
Good performance. Possibly one of Ole’s most improved players .
Should have had 2 if not 3 tonight

Making a very good case for our player of tbe season at the moment.
A good point. The 4-2-3-1 worked against us today, especially with Southampton's press.
It's scary how good he is becoming. How many strikers are picking the ball like that on the left, dribbling at top speed and finishing top bins? WC man, the complete package in a forward.
If he finished that run from his own half it would have been replayed for years

Was excellent but really should have won the game for us.
World class striker performance. Such a great player. Should have passed to Greenwood after doing the hard work with his amazing solo run. Greenwood wasn't tired cause he hadn't been dribbling 7 players so probably would have scored, but I guess after dribbling past 7 men it might be hard to assess for Martial. When you have such a good all-round game, it's obviously forgiven. I hope people will remember that when we needed the win, Martial didn't crumble. Great talent, and mentally strong.
This is what Im loving the most, and its surely to do with OGS faith and coaching.
No more Mr sulky lazy: he has ants in his pants and is buzzing all over the place.
He's been on fire in 2020. Not just his finishing, but overall play. Great hold up play, great work rate, and the goals and assists to show for it. Looks very determined to finish the season strongly. Long may it continue.
Stop pushing these myths. His conversion rate and contribution rate by minutes are among the best in the league.
What you say is true. But if we take a step back and think about it, we are expecting him to do so much more because he really is capable of it. Speaks volume of his talent and progress in fulfilling it.
Yup. Theoretically he should have passed to greenwood. But I think we will benefit in the long run to have him more focused on getting goals himself.
One of his weaknesses in the past was that if he wasn't getting the ball to feet, he used to get a bit disinterested & games could pass him by sometimes. Under Ole, he's clearly worked a lot on this and he deserves a lot of credit.
That run highlights the improvements Martial has made to his game this season. The 80th min, his legs are tiring and he's winning the ball in his own half and immediately taking on the other team by himself, trying to wrap the win up for us. His mentality has changed. When you think of all his talents on the ball, consistently being one of the league's deadliest finishers, now he's adding the determination and strong work ethic too, at only 24, It's legit scary how good he is becoming.
It reminded me of R9. Even the miss at the end.
Anyone will swap him with any CF in this league? Maybe going bit far but I think he is complete package and I don't think there is any CF who offers everything that Martial does.
