Does anyone else feel that Ole is starting to get a little frustrated with Martial and his lack of general movement and defensive this season. Fair enough he is a forward yet in fewer games Cavani has managed more tackles, and more interceptions in the Premier League, Tackles Martial: 2, Cavani: 7, Inteceptions Martial:0, Cavani: 5. Yes stats can be used in various ways to prove a point but the rest of his overall contribution has been poor as well this season.

Bit of a pattern. Zlatan came in his form dropped. Lukaku came in his form dropped. Cavani here now his form dropped.

I just think Martial's mentality will never make him be the player we want him to. All the truly great players thrive on competition, every time he has someone fighting for his spot, it's almost like he sulks about it. Does he seriously think he is THAT good as a no. 9? I've never really rated him in that position anyway.

Should be on the on the chopping block for players sold. PSG would have been all over him for good price, but now probably they will move on to Keane if Everton will sell.

A bit read on your previous striker:

300 & Counting: Just how “Big” of a player is Romelu Lukaku?

On Sunday, February 14th 2021, at the age of 27 years and 9 months, Romelu Lukaku scored the 300th goal of his professional career. An impressive feat, regardless of your opinion on the player. The…

Yeah but Lukaku never suited us at all, so I'm not bothered about us selling him one bit. Serie A is made for him honestly, but the way we were trying to play him just didn't suit him or us. Good player though in the right system.

Ohhh, gotcha. I wouldn't really say his form dipped with the arrival of Lukaku. I remember there was a period he almost always scored or assisted off the bench under Jose.

Yeah that was when he and Rashford were rotating to devastating effect out left. Simple fact is Martial isn’t a number 9. And Rashford is better, younger, more consistent on the left. Martial is going to end up being a squad option or sold soon if he doesn’t like it.
 
U23s drawing 1-1 at our goal was scored by Charlie McCann who drew us level last kick of the half with an absolute screamer from 20 yards.

Lost 3-1 in the end.

I bet 10£ there will be no changes next season in the GK department except for Grant, Joel, Romero leaving. There’s already an agreement in place apparently for Henderson to play all the cup games next season and DDG be the league GK. After next season DDG will leave IMO.

This summer I expect 3 signings max with a bigger number of outgoings. CB being the priority then an Attacker. Not sure about the 3rd if Pogba stays then I can see it being another attacker. So 1str and 1 RW. Then possibly Garner and Laird added to the squad on a permanent basis with Hannibal and Shortire being continued to getting fazed in.

And a fair few leaving on loan. Levitt, Galbraith, Pellistri, Puigmal, Bernard, Kovar, Mengi, Devine.
