More goals than martial grin with a difference of just 2 goals every season, mind you Rashford makes more appearances than martial with at least 10 more games. Hope you don't have any agenda against martial cheesy grin grin cheesy

2 goals is just?

Who started playing for Man Utd team first?

Who is older?

Martial was benched and stripped of his no 9 jersey by Ibrahimovic and later Lukaku, and Rashford was still playing in that same team.

I think what patrickmuf and the likes are trying to say is: The season is over, what is Ole’s pattern? What is our tactics? That Is a very big question that needs an answer.


We need an identity. A pattern. You can clearly see how Chelsea wants to play. Same with arteta that took the job few months ago. Have our players been winning games with their own sheer brilliance all season?


Look at Chamberlain’s last goal against Chelsea, when last did our attackers have free space to score like that? When last did we score a tap in?

These are questions that beg an answer. What is Ole’s identity?

Due to Soyuncu’s red card, Leicester have been playing with 3 CBs. Fortunately for us, they’re all slow and lack pace. The spaces beside and behind them can be exploited.

Rodgers went offensive against Tottenham and suffered massively for it.

If he does same against us, he’ll be toast. We only have to let him. But Olé might think otherwise.

I expect them to play the high press against us again, because they’re in search of a win, but with their defense in its current state, our forwards should have a terrific game.

Hopefully, the legs can take up to 70mins..

Who da fuk is Lemar?

Lemar showed 1 good season of football in a Monaco system that made Mendy and Sidibe look like world beaters.

The French themselves who have known Lacazette since childhood know that he is a limited player, that’s why he gets dropped without much uproar.

Martial lost his place in that France World Cup squad because JM brought in Sánchez in Jan 2018 to displace an in form Martial from the LW.

Rashford gets into the squad easily but whether he makes the first team I don’t know.

Mbappe and Rashford on the same team would be nasty though.
It's easy to ask now that Lemar is off form. France have too much quality up front. Rashford won't start for France...

Simple 4-3-3

Matuidi Kante Pogba

Griezman Mpappe Rashford.

Which big club rely on that outdated target Man role?

It's simple that is the most effective way Giroud can play same as Peter Crouch and Andy Caroll.
Same Giroud is the reason why Chelsea are still 4th on the log...

Lol.

Have you seen Mbappe play 9 and how ineffective he is when he has two CBs on him constantly and no space to run into?

Didier Deschamps would rather play Sebastian Haller to accommodate Mbappe on the wing than play Rashford.

We actually have a pattern and style of play.

Early on in the season it was gbas-gbos as important team plays are injured, out of favor or we don’t just have them.

Olé has been tinkering with the team and counters were the easiest way to score.

In January when Bruno arrived, Pogba returned from injury and Matic earned his trust, we’ve been playing a possession type of football. The sad part is that we seem to have lost that keen edge we used to have when a counter presents itself.

Since January, Ole has been playing with A (possession football; pass out from the back ) and thrown plan B into the garbage. So, instead of goofing goalkicks to a target man upfield, try to win second balls and attack from there, we’ve been inviting pressure on our GK, CBs and DM (all of whom aren’t gifted at quick thinking) by playing out from the back with 5 opponents surrounding them.

If we try to pass it out from the back they’ll murder us. Olé has to give himself brain tomorrow. Give them the ball and kill them with counters.

Round pegs in round holes, please.

Sometimes, I wish Matic has the strength of Fred. Energetic and fast. While in another space, I wish Fred can do the defensive work of Matic. Hold the ball, shield the defense and distribute the ball as quick as possible.

Buh... Buh... We need a quick, strong and fast DM in this team.


By that as it may, I enjoyed the Martial vs Rashford comparison. No name calling, no jibes, just talk your talk. Nice debate. cheesy
I love Martial though. I mean this new Martial but he is not the finish product yet.

Lukaku has never been known for his aerial prowess, when he was here, he was renowned for losing aerial duels with the opposition CBs whenever we go route one.

Whether Rashford will start on not is up for debate but no just dey drop names anyhow to support the argument.

Out of the last 4 seasons Lemar has been off form for 3 of them.

His last season in form was 2016-17 when all Monaco players including Mendy, Sidibe, Bakayoko looked world class.

It is time we asked whether Lemar was a flash in the pan.
