Has Martial ever scored a scrappy goal?
One of the reasons he's so streaky is because he's quite lazy. He doesn't score dirty goals, he doesn't make those runs in behind, or that extra effort to move to where the ball could land. Everything is ball to the feet and then do something difficult skill based.
No player can be consistent with that play style, with the exception of Messi. And when you're not in top form, and it doesn't work, Martial becomes a target man that wouldn't look out of place at Stoke. With Ole fecking Solskjaer pushing him for 2 years, he isn't suddenly going to change his game in the 3rd year.
Rashford out at the beginning of the season, I was thinking Martial should get one final chance, but I didn't expect Elanga to look ready this fast and Greenwood looking like a beast. Seeing the two of them yesterday, I'm left wondering what is the point of Anthony Martial?
If he's only here because of his salary and his recent injury we might as well loan him out with an option to buy.
