There is no doubting Martinez's quality. If he had been fit all season, of course it would have helped, but one player alone wouldn't have stopped us being so open to so many attacks / giving away chance etc - that's more of a general approach to the game and style of play etc

It's not one player though. Varane and Shona lost most of the season.
Plus Harry and Lindeolof the back ups.
Plus Mount from the midfield, and the poor season from Casemiro compared to last season. And others, AWB for a while , our French striker of course, which meant Rasmus had to lead the line.
Greenwood, Sancho and Ronaldo shouldn't be overlooked. It's made for a trying season.
If we think the loss of the CBs made a difference, how about the loss of Greenwood and Sancho to our forward line.

Shaw*

Nice to see he's recovered from getting bent over by Salah.

If you mean Shaw, he's not better yet.

We had to make do with his understudy to dump your lot out of the cup

Mind the gap and free up your Thursday evenings though.

Licha is captain material. Let's hope he has a season free of injuries next campaign.

Mate, chill out, you seem to be on EVERY thread being negative.

I'm very chilled. Of course I am happy with yesterday's result. But I'm also realistic of where we are. I'm not going to deny where we are and paint a rosy picture if it doesn't feel like one

Love that interview. He speaks so well and very authentically and passionately. His quality on the pitch has obviously been hugely missed but you can also imagine he must be a loss in the changing room and the training pitch when he’s been out.

No, but it’s very possible to enjoy the win without being negative on everything else,
