Messi can go from strolling about to a quick burst into space in the blink of an eye. He’s always waiting for an attacking opportunity, ready to pounce. He shows his passion and enthusiasm. Martial just waits for it to feet.
He’ll be predictable and easy to play against until he adds runs into space behind the defender into his game. Something we’ve been saying for 3 years. At this point it looks like he never will.
The time to make a final judgement on martial is next season after Christmas, because if working with ole and our coaches for that length of time doesn’t improve his game it will never happen at united.
