My point though is that’s the one argument people always start with it fall back on. Take away this ‘natural talent’ or ‘big potential’ defence and you’re not left with very much |

Yesterday aside, I’ve watched him play some lovely stuff with Rashford and James since his return. He’s also probably a more clinical finisher than Rashford, and right now is a more complete forward than Greenwood (who I’m hoping will be our main man up front within the next 5 years). Do I think he is a 10/10 player? No. Are there other players and positions that concern me far more? All day long. |

"Put him in a City or a Liverpool and he’d be hitting 20+ with ease"
Guardiola/Klopp would drag his laconic arse off the pitch after 20 minutes after he meanders aimlessly in the general direction of the centre half as said centre half takes all the time in the world to play out to midfield from the back. Unfortunately Solksjaer has to put up with it as his options are so limited. The better teams (and some less so) play a pressing game that allows them to gain possession back time after time. Martial can undoubtedly play. His pass to James for the 3rd goal yesterday was perfectly weighted into the run. Unfortunately he doesn't work hard enough and that will stop him become a top, top player. |

Making runs for non-existent balls from a terrible midfield and chasing down defenders would make for a very frustrating afternoon, but watch Vardy do it in good sides and bad. Horrible little rat? Yes. Would I take him over Martial? In the short term definitely yes. Completely agree about the midfield by the way, but this thread is not about that can of true despond. |

No point thinking about canning him now anyway, even if we get another forward in Jan, we still couldn’t afford to move him on yet simply because we have such a lack of squad depth. Just want us to sign a midfielder; anyone would do at this point. |
