It shouldn’t take half a season to get some confidence back if you’re starting every week. I’d like to think you’ll see a change from him in the next few weeks, especially with the likes of Merino and Calafiori potentially coming in on his side of the pitch.
I think they will both have a massive impact on his performances.
To me Martinelli feels a bit like Havertz when he arrived, working hard, do most things right but just missing that final bit of confidence to start balling out. I'm still backing him, I think it'll come.
goon this is fair, I think my point was I am starting to view him as I don't believe he's going to score if he gets that chance unlikely Trossard or Saka.
I think the consistency point mentioned above is valid, what defines the top players is that ability to deliver at their high level regularly and martinelli hasn't been able to show that his form 2 seasons ago is his consistent level.
Big Willie if he manages to do that great I hope he can. But his decision making generally hasn't been good good instincts are run, shift and shoot but the not difficult finding a way to contribute outside is that I think he's not been able to show he can make a difference. It originates from how he grew up with futsal where you need to run shift and shoot and get a powerful shot away and less about how you link up with those other aspects. I'm not sure he'd been able to show that transition enough for me so far.
Needs something to go his way. Really wish this team would carve open teams and score tap ins like Barca of old did
it's kinda funny. Martinelli regularly carves teams up, but does not partake in the actual dining. That run he made for the shot vs Atalanta is part of why he's so good. And the shot is why he's a problem.
I've been hating on him this season but today he was great. Amazing defensive shift all game and was key for both goals
He was really good today.
Games like today show why Arteta has so much time for him. So disciplined. Works so hard and really puts the team first.
We definitely need another pacey attacker though. Martinelli and probably Havertz are the only players with any kind of pace in our front-line.
Same song I sing. You need to be able swap out your forwards at 70 minutes and give defenders a new problem, ideally one with lots of speed. Even Grealish was a pain when he came on. Hopefully we find someone
He’s got leaner and more importantly upped his sock game. I’m all in now
Injured on national duty. Waiting for test results
When it rains...
Send him home too. MRI 
hope its clear sighh.
If it's a scan just because he felt something then hopefully not too serious. The only thing that worries me though is that Martinelli doesn't seem the type to complain about a little pain and go for scans.
This is because I went all in isn’t it?
