He's been OK... But very worrying that he isn't shooting when through 1 vs 1...
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
Only a complete idiot would have tried shooting there.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.
At the very least, Martial should have made a much stronger shot.Martial wasn't in the box and he chose to pass.

Martial chance
Course he'd score after i posted that
He hadn't been 'piss poor' anyway.
He really, really hasn't. The amount of times he gave the ball away and spoilt our attacks was ridiculous.He's been very good today.

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