anthony martial. the most overrated/overprotected player in the premier league. a thread:
anthony martial joined man united from monaco for £54m in 2015 and has been nothing but a disappointment for united
martial’s seasons by the numbers:
15/16 - 31 apps, 11 gls, 4 ast
16/17 - 25 apps, 4 gls, 5 ast
17/18 - 30 apps, 9 gls, 5 ast
18/19 - 27 apps, 10 gls, 2 ast
19/20 - 23 apps, 11 gls, 3 ast

nowhere near good enough for someone who united fans think is world class
martial has been in the pl for five seasons and has failed to surpass 11 pl goals. here’s just some players who have a better pl goal record than martial:
ashley barnes
danny ings
glenn murray

#ballondorclause
addressing the “mourinho prevented martial from making the france world cup” and “martial should be in the france squad for the euros” people

anthony martial for france:
18 apps, 1 goal

you can see why deschamps prefers playing matuidi on the wing compared to martial
united fans will slate rashford for not performing but praise martial for being average
martial vs. rashford in the pl this season:
martial - 1885 min, 23 apps, 11 gls, 3 ast
rashford - 1882 min, 22 apps, 14 gls, 4 ast
rashford’s performances improved without martial. wonder why
“martial is better as a centre forward” this is martial’s first season playing as a cf for united and he has once again failed to out-do his 15/16 pl season where he played a majority of games on the wing
martial fans will say that he’s better than firmino but is martial even better than tammy abraham?
abraham - 1945 min, 25 apps, 13 gls, 3 ast
martial - 1885 min, 23 apps, 11 gls, 3 ast

“but martial was out injured for 2 months” abraham hasn’t scored since january 11th
martial compared to other pl cfs this season:
abraham - 1945 min, 25 apps, 13 gls, 3 ast
calvert-lewin - 1914 min, 27 apps, 13 gls, 1 ast
gabriel jesus - 1337 min, 24 apps, 10 gls, 4 ast
martial - 1885 min, 23 apps, 11 gls, 3 ast

stop over-protecting him
martial has been nothing more than an average player who has a few good moments every now and then since he joined united. he’s nowhere near world class like some united fans say he is and if united want to compete they should be already be looking to replace martial
