They weren't crap. Plenty of Power on those shots, Had the keeper scrambling.
I know what I posted. Would you much rather prefer the shot being aimed directly at the keeper ? Or skied into the top tier ? I'm no expert, but those kind of shots are what I would normally label as 'Crap'.Read what you've posted. He had the keeper scrambling... I guess it's progress.

I felt they were decent attempts, he really put his laces through it and for just a small millisecond, I thought it might just go in of the post.Neither was on target. Who cares if he had the keeper scrambling? And yes, what's the difference between him shooting wide and shooting into row Z? Don't get me wrong, I thought he was quite decent, but those shots weren't great.

It was a dive and a foul apparently...

Maybe, I'm just glad we avoided a replay.I think the overall shitness of the entire team makes those shots actually look like rays of positivity.
I think that's more to do with the fact that he had space to run into. In the PL, whenever he gets the ball, its from a standing position.Looks a little leaner than before and a bit quicker off the mark. Seems more likely to win one on ones at the minute, and he did well to win the penalty.
What did he do?sometimes he feels like Sanchez a bit strongly built little palyer who has brst of pace if he wants but he looks half the Chilean energy, he did good today but far from convincing, wonder what's his next game will be, is he gonna try too hard next game or will he paly more freely and look like he doesn't give a feck which almost felt like it today, despite that he was able to release a couple of shits and winning the penalty so I guess there is plenty of space for improvement

Actually, in the PL games, whenever he gets the ball, he is almost immediately double teamed. I didn't see that here. Neither him nor Memphis were given that level of attention. I remember in the first half Martial just kept taking the ball forward and forward from the left wing and the defenders just kept taking a step back and back and were standing off him. Same thing happened with Memphis on 1 or two ocassions.He didn't really have the space through. No more than he gets in a PL game. They sat so deep, and whenever the ball went out wide, 3 of them would push towards him or Martial. There was no room to run behind. No PL team will defend as deep as that. He should be getting more space in regular league games. even when he did pick the ball up in standing positions, he was looking a little more agile when cutting in or going around the outside. I don't think he looks as big as he did a few months ago.
I agree with them to be honest, it was a penalty but he obviously made a meal of it, very overly dramatic.It was a dive and a foul apparently...

yeah, the Memphis shots were when he was marked by 2-3 players. on that left side. But he was pretty much direct with his running the other times. He was always quickly released by either CBJ or BFS with some space to make use of. Let's see if you are right, we'll find out soon enough anyway. I just have a feeling it will be more of the same if he starts the game.There was numerous occasions where 3 men would smother both Martial and Memphis when they were on the left. The two long range shots he took were the cause of 2 or 3 coming at Memphis quickly and not letting him go down the wing, and he had to make a large pivot to cut inside. Martial as well was rarely given space to make those direct runs into the box he so often does. Numerous times he was blocked off outside the box or right on the touchline, and quite rightly. Those runs are when Martial makes mincemeat of his opposite number. They'd have been daft to let him do that.

He has been playing quite tense since arriving so I imagine that'll go some way to seeing some more relaxed performances from him in the future.sometimes he feels like Sanchez a bit strongly built little palyer who has brst of pace if he wants but he looks half the Chilean energy, he did good today but far from convincing, wonder what's his next game will be, is he gonna try too hard next game or will he paly more freely and look like he doesn't give a feck which almost felt like it today, despite that he was able to release a couple of shits and winning the penalty so I guess there is plenty of space for improvement
