No subs, they have given up. If we didn't Know Pep, we would be screaming corruption here. It's like they don't want to win this. Tactically it's been so so poor from Pep.

They've not come close to winning anything and will still probably finish 6th so certainly a winner like Ronaldo won't be remembering the season with any fondness in a decade's time. In the end we all know he was brought in for the marketing and share price, more than to change the team. So either way, it's not worth the argument. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

United are weak (relatively speaking) all over the pitch, you swap Ronaldo out they don’t rocket up the league. He isn’t holding them back. I still think Spurs will Spurs and give up the 4th spot to United. They are only a win ahead anyway and have a history of bottling everything. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Liverpool will stick 3-4 past Man. United and think they'll lose to Palace and Chelsea in the run in. Brighton and Brentford will give them good games aswell with the form they're in. Arsenal away has that feel of two bald men fighting over a comb with Arsenal losing to every single mid table team (apart from us). Can't see Man. United getting much past 60 points so Spurs would really have to blow up not to be comfortably ahead. They have Burnley home and Norwich away as their last two. Good play from Mahrez there for the second goal, certainly strange he didn't come on earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the team finishes 8th it isn’t because of the striker who scored 25. Benteke was class for us when we had a shit team, that’s a good example. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give me break, Bruno's been pants, the whole team have, an it's not cause of Ronaldo! Basic human psychology. He is considered by himself and others as being above the manager so the hierarchy breaks down. Players hate being there, Ronaldo scores, team is shit.

penguin Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 The constant criticism of Ronaldo continues to baffle me. United are a **** mess from top to bottom, the guy is band-aid. He’s 37 years old if they wanted some to press like a headless chicken they could have bought countless other players, despite his age and the general shitshow he’s playing for his still one of the most dangerous strikers around. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The team behind him were awful - with a few who could provide occasional good play. Our team wasn’t built for Benteke but he scored goals through being world class for 18 months. Man United’s midfield and defence is a mess. It’s not Ronaldo’s fault they can’t defend and their midfield is one paced and players go missing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
