35 - Gerard Martín

[Iniesta Ultra]

Was an obvious foul seconds before it. But yeah, paid the price of inexperience on this level.

Love tap's never a foul. Even worse than dive was his first touch.

Watch the end of highlights for closeup on Martin's face covered in grass.

Arsenal wand to sign Gerard Martin for 25m.

They believe his ability to perform a long throw inside a 30 second turn around could make the difference in their attacking play.

7 goals conceded to inter 4 of which directly linked to Dumbfries dumb frying Gerrard Martin. Incredible. I think if we played with 10 men with an early red to Martin we probably stood a better chance and I'm not even joking.

They have the throw in merchant Partey but I think they need another throw in specialist in case they need to rest Partey.

Said earlier. Inzaghi could bring in seasoned internationals in extra time. We had Martin in and had to bring in Fort and Pau. Lewa also came in and was obviously not fit to play.

Wenger spoke abou the injustice barca had to endure this match from refs. He said if u do slow motion for Cubarsi penalty u have to be consistent and apply slow motion for Gerrard martin too ! (In which case it won't look soft no more ! But indeed a foul). Slow motion replays affect perception. Refs really were decisive this game and contributed massively to barca being out.

Also the pen not given on yamz when his ankle got trapped inside the box

Lots of pens been given for 👻 contacts lol

Commentator said that there was contact cuz he intentionally dragged his back foot. Doesn't make it less of a 🖊️

Arsène always a class act 💫

That was also a 50 50 to say the least.. the foul definitely seems to be continued Inside the box ( a second leg trip inside box). Ref really is a fag

sus' how many times he says Milan! 🕵️

 

[Catta]

Have a feeling he will stay as Baldes backup next season.

 

[Barcaman]

Not that bad again. If he was younger I would say keep him but this might be his ceiling.

Hard choice.

 

[mc_lovin]

Thought he was outrageously bad, but has his moments. His ball control is hilariously non-existant.

 

[DonAK]

Any backup will be worse than the starter, but the goal should still be for the backup to be good enough to not make us much worse.

Gerard Martin is awful unless a team stands off and gives him a lot of space and time to pick out a cross.

 

[Rory]

A backup needs to be a reliable player, someone who might not have the qualities of the starter but isn't such a downgrade that the opponent can target you and break the weak link. Garcia is a good backup in that regard, although not great with his RB positioning, but as a CB he's a nice 4th option, can even play cdm.

Martin is such a downgrade despite the odd decent cross (this is bare minimum for a pro footballer to occasionally have a good moment), that he makes the entire team weak. Not his fault, he's done his best and I don't blame him, but I really don't want to see him in the squad next year unless he makes some miraculous improvement in pre season.

 

[jamrock]

He was awful.

 

[Porque]

He's probably no worse than a guy like Sergi Cardona who was on a free.

Still, we should be able to do better.

He is not at the level of these big games. But then again, after this season, he may become a decent squad guy for a few seasons.
