Alli has performed more consistently than Martial this season. He has chipped in with big goals and generally affects the games more because he plays in a no8/no10 position. Add to that, he is playing in a very well oiled machine at Spurs.
Martial has much more game-breaking ability and has played under the pressure of being the foremost attacking threat at the most followed club on the planet, he is top-goalscorer in a stuttering attacking outfit from the left wing.
I have no doubt that Martial will become a more impactful and important player in the future. Absolutely none, I saw him live at Old Trafford vs Everton and his talent is absolutely mindblowing – the pace he runs at defenders at, coupled with his guile cannot be coached.
Young Player of the year was rightfully Alli’s though.
