Not good enough for where United want to be but I quite like him. I'm not sure I'd want him in our first 11, never mind Man United's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobzy Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 (edited) “He’s had 2 shots all game and scored them both” ”He hasn’t touched the ball this second half, but he’s got Man Utd out of jail” “If Ronaldo doesn’t score those 2 shots, he’s a 2 out of 10” Paul Merson summing up the Ronaldo problem absolutely perfectly on Soccer Special. He’ll get all the plaudits again though Edited November 2, 2021 by bobzy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’d be better with someone who contributes to play, rather than having a pure goal scorer. Edit: It’s like an elite version of us with Darren Bent.

I guess my point is that they already had Cavani - who basically does what Ronaldo does, albeit at a slightly lesser level. Greenwood could probably do more graft and return a good enough goal tally. They scored 5 against whoever it was before Ronaldo joined. He hasn’t added anything to Man Utd as a team, even if his individual scoring figures are great.

Whoever they play instead of him is a downgrade. These goals aren’t tap-ins either, it’s not like someone else would score them if he wasn’t there. There’s 9 other outfield players to pass, create, tackle, run the channels. He’ll do the hard bit of finishing it off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now they’ve brought CR in, changed the way they play to shoehorn him, whilst reducing Bruno’s effectiveness and having to bench Sancho as well. They signed him out of romance, like Ole (and partly to stop Man City getting him), and it’s likely set them back a season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa89 Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 Ronaldo isn't the probelm. The probelm is a manager who hasn't a clue and dumb and dumber trying to play in central midfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m no expert, but I watched a Tifo podcast earlier this season that explained how Sancho’s minutes/touches were similar at Man Utd to what they were at Dortmund (at the time), and how less effective he is at Man Utd, largely down to how Ronaldo’s lack of pressing means that the space in front of Sancho is reduced, compared to when he was at Dortmund and would run down the channels and create/assist/score from it. They touched on how Sancho playing with Cavani up top would actually, likely work better, because Cavani is a harder worker than Ronaldo, and this chasing and pulling of defenders results in gaps on the wing for Sancho to exploit. (As I say, I’m no expert, and I’m probably explaining it wrong, but I’ve read and watched a few pieces explaining similar CR7 problems). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
