Sancho, Rashford and Elanga to start up top then
Ten Hag presser v Leicester - MARTIAL NOT AVAILABLE
- Thread starter horsechoker
- Start date
Martial wont be available all the time and his minutes will have to be managed...but no squad is perfect and its just something ETH will have to work with.
His CF options are Martial, Ronaldo, Rashford. His target is Top 4 and a cup. Many managers in the league have to do with far less so lets stop talking down the players for a change.

Ronaldo can't start, he won't even be in the squad. You can't sign for another club if you're playing at the same time the transfer is going through.
This season reminds me of Ole first full season were Martial was injured at the start, Rashford looked like dross, Martial returned led to Rashford playing his best football and the entire team picking up.
You see we played someone football in the short period he featured this season. He'll be crucial!!

Leicester are one of the teams ever made
Who's going to sell us a quality striker on deadline day?
Tony has become such a crock
This Martial character is proving extremely unreliable
They had all summer to sort it.
Thank you @horsechoker for the quotes!
Rashford shouldn't really have to be a CF option in emergencies though... otherwise he should just be a LW option and that's it.
I get what you're saying though of course, and most clubs do only have two actual striker options (Arsenal - Jesus/Nketiah, City - Haaland/Alvarez, Liverpool - Nunez/Firminho etc.) ... issue is though it relies on one of those strikers not being perennially injured, and the other not being a 37 year old who doesn't like moving.
Guess we just need to see more Garnacho
We don't. We need another striker but not him
And they probably tried to. We were apparently in talks with Atletico but they wanted daft money and we had other areas to improve.
Why is everyone upset about Martial? If he didn’t play Saturday he won’t play tomorrow. He has an achilles injury and could be out for a while. It’s annoying but no need to react with exasperation, we knew he was unavailable.
NO, Glass.
he is not a Striker, is he?
Perhaps a rich tea after a lengthy dunk?
That’s what he said
Be interesting to to see if ETH decides to go with Rashford or Ronaldo up top tomorrow.
No, but in terms of squad options he'd be worth a whirl at some point.
Beyond Rashford he's probably our next player best equipped to play there?
People love moaning. Nothing has changed as it pertains to his injury from what we were told before the Southampton game. He had a knock on his Achille and was always unlikely to recover in only a few days. Yet somehow some people couldn't figure that out and are having a needless moan.
Heck some think it's a different injury from the one he's been recovering for only a few days.
Shame Cavani has gone. Would have been good under ETH.
Whose job would it be to push Cavani's wheelchair around the pitch?
Yeah, great option. As good as Rooney would be
Sure, between vacation in Uruguay, NT games where he is unavailable first game after them and injuries, he would be great under ETH.
Prime Cavani though, would be perfect
As long as he wouldnt be in Uruguay yes.
Cavani gave it everything in his first season. Then lost the number 7 shirt to Ronaldo and that was it for him. If we could loan a younger player like him for this season it would be great.
Memphis is looking mighty good as an option right now…
Because this will be our fifth league match of the season and he hasn’t been fit to start any of them.
But we already knew he wouldn’t be fit for this. People are reacting like they’ve only just found out. Yeah it’s annoying, but we knew.
Great title to get replies to this thread.
Not really. ETH said last week he hoped Martial would be available for the next game. And here we are.
Part 1
Haven't watched him play since he left us, except for the Euros. Has he developed a lot in those years? I've seen a few posters suggest this.
Apart from actually turning up at the club in any fit state to play football.
He’s developed into a more central role and has done well. He would be more suited to play the no. 9 role under ten Hag m’s system and is more likely to avoid injury than Martial.€10 million fee with a 2 plus deal makes a lot of sense.
Surprise, surprise.
Elanga and Ronaldo playing again. Oh Lord, help us.
And no, a Martial'-less Rashford and Sancho aren't much better. We are in huge trouble against Arsenal.
