  1. The narrative on him has flipped so much that he is now very underrated by our fanbase. His goals + assists numbers are as good or better than any of our other wingers this season. He also cost less than Trossard and Madueke and loves the club. Will never understand why he gets so much stick, even if I agree we need another top class winger for him to rotate with.

  2. I wouldn’t want to lose him as our secondary winger unless we got big money for him

  3. Marintelli doesn’t fit us when slow plodding horseshoe football but realistically none of our players do. When we play vertical he’s shows his impact.

  4. We are lacking a bit of direct play from players especially midfield. At times we need to run into space and drive forward. Martinelli did that today, Dowman too.

    I also don’t care what anybody says Odegard was one of the few players on the pitch today that looked for positive forward play.

  5. If we win the league and Martinelli stays on 1 PL goal. It would be the most important 1 goal player of all time for us lmao (equalizer against City).

  6. I love him but think this says more about our conservative approach to PL. Don’t recall him cutting inside like that once in PL matches. And please don’t bring up the low block excuse when it’s our strategy to pin teams back in a low block.

    I like martinelli. Still young. Hard for anyone to look good this season with the dogshit football we’ve been playing so it’s difficult to make a judgement

    Selling Leo and going big is better than selling Gabi and replacing him with Gordon

    Teams attack a lot more in cup tournaments. Martinelli is an absolute beast on the break

    He’s honestly a great sub player, he can bring an energy to the team after both sides become sluggish and standstill for 60-70 minutes. But his game doesn’t translate well for a full game. Today we saw he was able to hold off two tired sporting players and find a pass down the middle to an open havertz, something that I don’t think would happen in the first half let’s say.

  11. Prem doesn’t suit him tbh. This guy would put up some big numbers in other leagues I think
