He's doing better today, which is good to see. We can cope with Martial playing wide in the odd game, as we don't really have other options with Memphis out of form and Young injured.
 
He started off really well and has looked threatening throughout the half, but the moment he loses the first ball, it's like his confidence completely goes, which then turns into losing it twice, three times, etc. He just needs to relax a bit more because he can do it. There was a moment when he had like three players around him, he took it down and popped it off. Was class play. He's playing a lot better than he has though, especially as it's against Everton. Fancy him to score today. Hope so anywa.
 
His passing and touch is all over the shop but a rather encouraging performance.
 
Started well but his sloppiness half way through the half onwards was shocking really.....just so fecking careless with what should be simple passes.

Was at fault for breaking our rhythm on a few occasions

I'm finding it hard to defend him anymore. But we only have one other striker sadly

Who should be starting ahead of him as the #9 seeing as he's much better atm
 
Martial wasn't in the box and he chose to pass. A great run and he executed a good pass (for once) and Martial should have scored (granted), but simply put, that is the clearest indicator of a player short of confidence. A striker would always shoot in that situation and it didn't look remotely like he was ever going to.

EDIT - Same again in the attack just before the close of the half. Always looked to pass instead of heading into the box with one thought on his mind - shot. In the end a poorly executed through ball after dallying.
Only a complete idiot would have tried shooting there.

At the very least, Martial should have made a much stronger shot.
 
Reminded me of him former self a bit, that goal :)
 
Finally. He was due a performance after 10 years of stinking up the place against that lot. Well-taken goal.
 
Credit where it's due, that was a nice finish.

He looked leggy as feck when he actually broke through though, I thought the defender was going to catch him.
 
He really, really hasn't. The amount of times he gave the ball away and spoilt our attacks was ridiculous.

Good goal, no arguing with that, but he was poor up til then.

He's done what has been missing in his game, which is a bit of aggression and directness. Wouldn't be surprised if he knocks in another goal or two.
