You sound like its the CL final. It's the lowest priority competition and i'm sure barca wont be taking it seriously either
Feck that, i'd want us to take it seriously.

The lad will show no fear, that's for sure.I've said it before but I think Garnacho could do a job in there, especially in these type of games.
Ten Hag wants trophies and I doubt he'll cop out from the competition without giving Barca some trouble.You sound like its the CL final. It's the lowest priority competition and i'm sure barca wont be taking it seriously either
Really? He's extremely weak and gets knocked off the ball very easily. Maybe as he gets older he might adapt to that role.I've said it before but I think Garnacho could do a job in there, especially in these type of games.
I could see him being a young Aguero. Defenders would be terrified of him in behind and on the turnReally? He's extremely weak and gets knocked off the ball very easily. Maybe as he gets older he might adapt to that role.
I don't see any similarities, Aguero was impossible to knock off the ball.I could see him being a young Aguero. Defenders would be terrified of him in behind and on the turn
Yes really. It was ridiciulous to read after Martial's last few seasons. Short memories some fans have.
He’s way worse than Saha. At least Saha had a couple of decent runs before getting injured again, martial can’t even last half a match and then be out again.We have got another Saha in our squad?
Quick, dribbling ability, shortarseI don't see any similarities, Aguero was impossible to knock off the ball.
How would you know that ? That he doesn't put the extra yards in ? He could just be very very fragile no ?Relies on his natural talent and physique. Such a naturally gifted player. Just doesn’t put the extra yards in to keep fit. That’s on him.
Nail on the head.I have been team Martial throughout his stay here, but if he can't play 75% of the games from here until end of the season, that is the end of it.
He is undisputed first choice starter in a team which plays to his strengths under a manager who rates him. And has no real injuries.
If not now, you would be stupid to think it will be ever.

This is a phenomenally poor post.Just asking. Because if you did then you can't really preach about any issues in football tbh.
What kind of injuries does he keep getting? Hamstring injury, Achilles tendinitis, back injury, an unknown injury and whatever is up with him now.Not really. The types of muscular injuries he seems to get is highly likely a preparation/fitness problem. Quite avoidable with the right application and guidance. Martial looks pretty similar in terms of physique to when he first arrived.
IF there is a problem with his preparation I highly doubt it is down to his not putting in the extra yards. The club has an absolute ton of health data on every player (none of which is available to us) and will be designing fitness programmes to minimise injury and maximise fitness. Sometimes it takes a long while to get it right for every player but Martial will train as instructed by the club.Not really.

Our attacking play is pretty dire without him.
Was nice, but we see more of that kind of thing with him playing.Did you miss our second goal today?
By your logic there shouldn't be any injury prone player then ? I think it's so much more complicated than thatNot really.

Yeah, that's probably it...he cares too much...IF there is a problem with his preparation I highly doubt it is down to his not putting in the extra yards.

From what I’ve heard, Martial is a good trainer. He is desperate to play and it’s possible that he rushes back and, if so, both he and the club need to look a bit longer term, take more care and make sure he is 100% instead of risking him sooner.
I don’t think any of it is down to poor attitude by Martial. Maybe, just maybe, he’s not quite honest with himself about how healthy he is because he wants to play so much.

I’ve no idea really but my point is I don’t think the reason he is injured is because he is lazy. Do you? You see him get injured and you think - that’s because he’s lazy?Yeah, that's probably it...he cares too much...
Honestly, some of the Martial defending is utterly mental.
