GrahamC Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 People who don’t rate him baffle me. He certainly isn’t the quickest but you don’t bluff the career he’s had. Superb hold up play, wins headers he has no right to, he’s a very good striker. 19 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better Red Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 MOM and 2 great finishes. He linked play well and gave there back three something to think about. First goal was a brilliant finish 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
italian dave Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 I said on the match thread that I was disappointed he was back, after we’d looked more effective going forward last few games without him. But I’m happy to be wrong! I wasn’t convinced first half: too often him and AS were playing with their backs to goal and it seemed to break up any fluidity. But they seemed to work it out second half and looked much more like a partnership. We know he can finish, and didn’t disappoint today, but was also effective as part of the team and linked well. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McNasty Filth Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 This one's a conundrum for me. You can't knock the guys finishing, his shots to goals ratio is very good, but for me we've looked a much more dangerous team without him in the side. In the first half we looked way too pedestrian compared to our recent performances. Is that down to Martin, I'm not sure, but I think long term nige will look to go with his favoured 4231 with semenyo up top 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pongo88 Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 I’m sure that playing with Semenyo is a benefit as their styles complement each other 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Journalist Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 He’s clearly benefitted from: - Having his game time properly managed - Having a physical presence with him to share the load - Having players run beyond him When those three things happen he’s a very, very good Championship player. Antoine Semenyo’s return makes a huge difference to Martin IMO. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Popodopolous Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 A refreshed Chris Martin is certainly an asset. Took the two goals well and strong out of possession. I don't think earlier in the season when we were hitting it up to him we were helping ourselves, or him either. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
