Rashford and Martial

Still has a nearly one in two strike rate for us despite never having been set up in a system that suits him

He’ll probably leave this summer but was far from the worst signing we’ve ever made
----------------------------------------------------------------------
He is the out and out striker. Martial is much younger and in my view a much better footballer. Yes both their attitudes stink at times but at least Martial has talent, not scoring against cannon fodder

Man Utd seem to be getting different results to what Mourinho was getting against same team so hopefully it continues against Man City.

Hoping for a tactical masterclass by OGS. Hoping that Arsenal defeat has made our players hungry again knowing this is pretty much last chance now. If we win our last 4 games we got a decent chance of top 4.

Everyone was loving these lads during our first 12 games under Ole. Not a single murmur about selling them off or moving them, just pure happiness to see them playing well.

Injuries and a collective downturn in form of the entire team shouldn't change minds quite so quickly.

I'm looking forward to seeing the further progression as Ole carves out some attack minded football over the coming seasons. I think they are both well equipped to get us to the level required.

People also think we have been playing badly for a while but the reality was we deserved to easily beat Wolves and Arsenal away and somehow lost due to comedy goals conceded in games we allowed hardly any chances and clear missed chances good enough to win a few games let alone one.

Martial and Rashford are the future. We should be getting behind them, they are still very young and nowhere near their peak. The one player after Mata who I’d get rid of is Lingard. He is 27 this yr and shows and offers literally nothing

Well I didn't "blame the manager" ....


... although they were daft enough to keep selecting them when it was self evident they were merely reserve team, squad players.

But if they are named in the squad at the beginning of a season then anyone that takes over before the end of that season is kind of stuck with them.

Rashford is ordinary, always has been always will be. No problem with never seeing him again - dump him on arsenal with the other waster

Martial is a luxury player, and united just cannot carry that type of player in a tough league campaign at the moment

Wouldn’t get rid but he’s not good enough to be a regular starter

I would. Other than him filling an English quota I’m honestly not sure what he offers. Reckon someone like West Ham or Newcastle may take him

Been saying it about Martial for a while

Weirdly Jose’s mindgames worked with Martial and we were seeing Martial actually try this season. Don’t think anyone can drag out the very best of him consistently though.

Rashford while not perfect at least puts a shift in.

I’d genuinely be up for getting rid of Martial and bringing Zaha in on the left. That guy is desperate to play for a big club again and has worked with Ole before
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This post is all hyperbole. Zaha hasn't indicated he wants a bigger club at all, provide evidence for this or it didn't happen.
He is also more likely to want to remain in London - which is why he went back there as soon as he possibly could. This is worse than your constant harping on about getting facking Bale tbh Robb.

Its the old we lost a game or two so clearly the players are all s*&t.

Whats actually happened is that Jose's training methods that try and reduce injuries by being less mobile and more efficient doesn't fit in with what Ole really wants us to be doing. Having played under Jose for most of the season the change has taken its toll on the players and created more injuries. OGS has already referred to the fitness of the players in terms of sprints per game and Km covered now being much higher than earlier in the season.

But yeah the players are all rubbbish OGS OUT!
