After a sluggish start to the season for forwards Hojlund and Zirkzee, who have scored only two and three goals respectively, Martinez highlights a collective responsibility in addressing offensive struggles. He emphasizes the need to better utilize their skills by creating more opportunities. Following a narrow 1-0 victory at Fulham, where Martinez scored the decisive goal, he called for consistent improvements from the team to maintain momentum and instill confidence. With upcoming matches in both the Premier League and Europa League, the pressure mounts to perform weekly.
Absolutely, we take the responsibility, Martinez said. I think we played many long balls to them, and for sure it's tough for them, especially because they fight against two centre-backs.
We have to continue [to do] more, and put them in better spaces on the pitch. We have to find them in the right places, dangerous places, to make them score.
When you win, the confidence goes up. It's good for us to get the three points. It's really important, because we haven't had the best results in the Premier League.
This has to be every weekend for us; we have to win every game.
