Garnacho has the killer instinct.

Garnacho really does have that nugget of star quality.

Only had the game on in the background. What I caught looked pretty low quality. Similar to the Villa game, should’ve been out of sight instead of hanging on.

Their keeper made a couple of solid saves but with the amount of times we got into the box, we should be looking back on 3-4 goals.

Nice to have Garnacho back. Great run, composure, shimmy and finish. We get ourselves another 1-2 players who are that direct and it won’t look so pedestrian. Antony, Sancho, Eriksen, Bruno all need direct players to compliment their qualities. Put them all together and it’s just a bit muddy.

Antony and Bruno are quite direct. The problem is that of quality. Bruno is excellent but Antony needs to improve his finishing. Sancho is just useless. It does to matter whether he's direct or not. How do you complement garbage.

Isn't this Rashford's last season? Either way we can buy an other centre forward and a winger and lose Sancho.

Fats is right - the strikers really need to step up to the plate today. Hope Martial is left back in the dressing room and that Garnacho and Anthony play.
How will the strikers step up? Stepping up means scoring and these players aren't good enough.
You wummimg again dozer?

No. Tell me how the strikers can just "step up"?
They can't fucking score. If they score they'd be top players. They're not. So how does one step up?

It‘s a relative statement dozer, as in Martial for instance need to put in a proper shift instead of just sulking around the pitch.
Is it really that difficult to understand?

That would make Martial a completely different player.
It's an impossible ask. I don't think I've ever seen him not do that even in his good games.

The others try hard but don't score. Its a difficult skill and it's not as simple as stepping up. Its like asking ddg to suddenly pass well. Not happening.

Your missing the point dozer – it’s an idiom about moving beyond ones normal limitations no matter how difficult that might be.

Sometimes get the feeling you’ve never watched football, Dozer.

Sometimes players perform beyond what you can reasonably expect from them. Remember when Wigan beat city in the FA Cup final for example? Wes Brown got the assist for Ronaldo’s goal in the 2008 Champions League Final - would anyone have predicted that? Luke Shaw scoring in the Euros Final… countless examples of players suddenly looking like world beaters.

That’s what swampy means. As awful as Martial has been, the talent and technical ability sometimes align in a moment where you see the reason why he was signed pro and tipped for greatness. The consistency makes players top level.
