[Wednesday at Stoke]

Martial you lazy pissant!

 

[elmo]

Where's Martial?! Ffs

 

[Foxbatt]

The frustrating side of Martial.

 

[Adnan]

Lindelof very lucky. Ducked under the ball and we're lucky it's still 1-0 to us.

 

[Annihilate Now!]

Where's Tony???

Chilling out, having a smoke, contemplating lifes great mysteries

 

[darko]

Sorry but he hasn't moved his arm towards the ball, it's at his side, what is he supposed to do about it? We're so lucky with these VAR decisions lately

Keep up with the rules changes. VAR got it right.

 

[Schmeichel=God]

Can we all gather and prostrate ourselves before our god VAR every week.

We must retain the good favour of our lord.

 

[Carolina Red]

The feck was Martial doing?

Great ball by James, great run by Greenwood... then nobody coming into the 6 yard box for the ball. Martial just standing there watching.

He’s not a #9

 

[Walters_19_MuFc]

This is when we need someone to take the pace out the game.

 

[AaronRedDevil]

Oh wow. Cmon that shouldn’t even be a handball. There’s literally nothing he could do about that. It was tightly by his side. What’s he supposed to do? Chop of his arm? Glad it wasn’t given though

 

[ken11]

Martial just hanging out instead of making the far post run.

 

[the hea]

Martial

 

[sunama]

Are MUFC supporters manning the VAR stations?
Same happened at Chelsea.
Still 1-0.

 

[Dobba]

Why fred taking corners?

Only time they can be sure he won't shoot?

 

[GiddyUp]

Where's Tony???

It's the reason he will struggle to hit 20 every season. That was bread and butter for a striker.

 

[Gambit]

much prefer James being on the left.

 

[JPRouve]

Martial is no striker

It has nothing to do with being a striker, in that particular case it's the wide man role to close the far post and Martial failed miserably.

 

[SAFMUTD]

A

So, if you’re going to answer my question you prefer that the player doesn’t go down, stands his ground and kicks the keeper in the head with his stride?
It’s a fair point, but one I disagree with.

Of course I wouldn’t prefer a player to be hurt, hut damn mate there’s a long way between one and the other.

Its like saying would you rather dive or break the opponents knee, I think there are plenty more options besides those two.

 

[mu4c_20le]

If you close your eyes you can imagine Martial running onto that, and Greenwood getting an assist

 

[Random Task]

That's why Martial isn't a striker, he doesn't have the instincts for it.

Rashford would have been on the end of that ball from Greenwood, no doubt.

 

[Drifter]

Embarrassing attempt at diving there.

 

[Forevergiggs1]

Sorry but he hasn't moved his arm towards the ball, it's at his side, what is he supposed to do about it? We're so lucky with these VAR decisions lately

Doesn't matter. Any hand/arm ball in attack is automatically disallowed. Correct decision.

 

[Reditus]

Sorry but he hasn't moved his arm towards the ball, it's at his side, what is he supposed to do about it? We're so lucky with these VAR decisions lately

At least it’s across the board. If ball touches arm it’s no goal.

i reckon they will keep the rule. It’s one of the few that there can be no dispute about when it occurs.

 

[GifLord]

wow

 

[TsuWave]

what a goal

 

[Cassidy]

Lindelof very lucky. Ducked under the ball and we're lucky it's still 1-0 to us.

Fernandes flicked it on.

 

[redshaw]

Love this new rule to be fair.

Knocking the ball on with an arm to create a goal is not right. This talking of changing it worries me.

 

[The Firestarter]

Wow that was great chip.

 

[Agila Dathi]

Wow that was class!!

 

[SirAnderson]

Only time they can be sure he won't shoot?

Not for a lack of trying probably

 

[Catt]

OMG Marty

 

[Nick7]

that was such an obvious deliberate hand ball

 

[Ainu]

Sorry but he hasn't moved his arm towards the ball, it's at his side, what is he supposed to do about it? We're so lucky with these VAR decisions lately

Any touch on the arm that results in a goal scored, is disallowed. Rules are different in attack vs defence. That's just how the rules are nowadays.

 

[peridigm]

Offside?

 

[Anustart89]

What a cheeky finish

 

[DrRodo]

Omg what a classy goal

 

[Bastian]

Brilliant

 

[pseudo_canadian]

Tidy

 

[pauldyson1uk]

That will be Pool.

You think ? 3 goals in 2 matches disallowed !!

 

[Andycoleno9]

Martial is no striker

He doesn't get any service ffs. Team didn't create any chance for him. He is top striker

And now he scores...
