Expert17:
We have Cavani sitting on the bench...smh

sod09:
Afrodoc2 give this boy attention na, just little

Trevor012:
Ole is not Ferguson. For christ sake can people stop referring to the Ferguson era everytime. Ole wants a fluid attacking front three where the goal scoring is not on one person. That's why he wanted a world class right-winger during the transfer window but we bought him nothing.

CapitalCee:
I dont have problems with Martial starting, but Cavani should have started ahead of James.

CapitalCee:
Rashford should start in his normal LWF. Tge person that is supposed not to start is Martial. Martial is supposed to be a back uo striker. Lets stop lumping Rashford and martial together, Rashford already has 13 goals and 6 assists this season, thats not bad for a winger. Our main striker has 1 EPL goals after 14 games, thats criminal

MaziAlaye:
Rashford isn't clinical, give him like 5chances, he'll miss 4 and score 1.

You guys have to be careful about starting Cavani in successive matches close together. He has had muscle injuries for the last 2 years. Not bone or joint injuries but muscle injuries. Those are the ones that reoccur when there is fatigue and lack of fitness and also lack of rest in between games.

If Amaka loads him too much he will be injured until the end of the season. We don't want that. [/s]

You guys are looking at our team only and are overly critical sometimes.

We are not the only team that is inconsistent. Actually every other team is inconsistent as well.........which is why we are still title contenders.

afrodoc2:
That is not how it works. League performance is about quality of the squad rather than just a few players or first 11, and we have a deep squad and so are more resistant to injuries and/or loss of form over the course of the season. For example Everton usually look toothless whenever Richarlison and/or James are absent, and every time Ndidi has a spell out injured Leicester's form dips.

The only team that i rate ahead of us presently is Liverpool so if we can't be title contenders then that means only Liverpool is contending for the title this season.

Vardy is 34 and starts games week in week out. Moreover, Martial is the one that was supposed to start that Everton LC game not Cavani.
Start Martial or James in that game, bring in Cavani late on if need be, then start him today. This game is a bigger game than that Evertin game. How is this a rocket science for Ole.

Its very clear as day light that Cavani is far better than Martial as a footballer both in terms of ability, mentality and professionalism. Cavani is the one that is supposed to be involved more in league games nkt Martial

MRTA7:
You should not always have to score 2+ goals to win matches or get a result to be a title challenging team. Defence is simply not good enough.

Again its defence that will win you titles.

Before Liverpool got Alison and VVD. They played exactly the same way they were playing now. But finished 4th and below. If we don't sort out our defence we will keep fighting for 4th place.

23 goals conceded in 14 games is disgusting.

I dont disagree with squad depth. Squad depth is better now than it was last season. But good squad depth is one part of a title winning team. Having consistent performances is the 2nd part.

We have managed to convert most of those unnecessary defeats we suffered last season to wins and few draws this season and that's why we're deservedly in a title race. I just don't think we can win it like many people think.

We are far too inconsistent

All valid points but immediately Cavani started the Everton game it was a risk starting him today. And you can't compare Vardy to Cavani. No 2 people are the same and Vardy has not been struggling with muscle injuries for 2 years. [/s]

Its true sha, no 2 people are same. For example, Aguero is done at 32. I know it might look like a too early judgement.

If we want to win anything at all, Martial must ve converted to an impact sub, thats why I wish we pull all stops and get Halaand. Mourinho's game pattern is very bad and criminal. But one thing you need to give to him is tge ability to spot lazy wasters like Pogba and Martial.

afrodoc2:
And Dele Alli.

JM is a good judge of character but not talent.

CapitalCee:
Then why start him against the second placed team in the league? SMH, there is even Mata who is miles better.
