villalad21 Posted September 20, 2021 Author Share Posted September 20, 2021 1 hour ago, Peter Griffin said: I disagree with that, obviously he needs service like any other player and if the ball isn't passed to him he won't score, same can be said about Haaland or Mbappe. But Ronaldo has the positional sense and movement off the ball to make the assist much easier for his teammates. This is a huge reason why he scores so many goals Legendary strikers like Henry and Brazilian Ronaldo actually did not need service. They could create their own goals a lot of times. Same can be said about Messi in his prime. Not many of those left these days, and it's sad to see. This version of CR7 doesn't scare me. If you stop Bruno you stop Ronaldo.

The top strikers dont need a lot chances they have the uncanny knack of being in the right place at the right time and keep going until the final whistle. hes a massive threat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not if we stop the supply. This isn't the 25 year old Ronaldo who beats players and scores worldies. Barely ever scores a goal outside the penalty area these days. Although I would agree he still is a threat he is not the biggest threat for me. The biggest threat is Pogba and Bruno. I'd even go as far as saying I don't think it's even close. Pogba and Bruno are by far their best players. Edited September 20, 2021 by villalad21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruno, Pogba, Shaw, Sancho, AWB etc will get balls into the box. There is no way we are going to stop all of the supply. We must stop CR7. This is way he scares me as he is so difficult to stop.

A 36 year old Ronaldo don't scare me more than Greenwood or Cavani does. Yeah he is still a decent player, but he isn't the player he once was.

What's your point? Pace doesn't automatically equal danger. Unless you think Dan James is a world beater. Ronaldo is still a good player but the way people talk about him is ridiculous. Not anywhere close to the player he once was. Edited September 20, 2021 by villalad21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah he is still a decent player, but he isn't the player he once was. He doesn't have to be the player he once was to be the best striker in the PL. CR7 is one of the best players ever in the history of football. A decrease from that level is still an outstanding player. He would be in the starting 11 of each of the top 6 clubs if he played for them. If Dean Smith or any other manger is not scared of the Ronaldo threat I would say they are very naive. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fruitvilla Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 On 15/09/2021 at 01:13, villalad21 said: Playing a high line. Fullbacks bombing forward. High pressing, leaving space behind. That is exactly what Spurs, Man Utd and Everton want the opposition to do. Curious ... for the Everton match, the first goal came from the right wing back pushing up. The second goal came from our left wing back taking a corner from the right. And the third goal came from the left wingback on a fast break. I hope Spurs and Man United want this as much. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the corner that resulted in the goal was won by our right wingback breaking forward fully up to the right side of the box and trying to pass the ball into the box 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jono62 Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 (edited) He'll be using it as a stick to beat Smith with when Ronaldo inevitably scores an amazing individual goal. Edited September 20, 2021 by Jono62 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
