They're tactically better in this game, particularly on Salah, but a massive plus point has been the pressing intensity off the ball.  All of Sancho, Rashford and Elanga/Martial have been absolutely at Liverpool.  Could you genuinely see this version of Ronaldo playing this way?

He isn't a shit player - he's a fantastic goal scorer - but he limits Man Utd's play.  That stat r.e: Man Utd's last few goals; 13 in 14 games.  No-one else involved because the game isn't fluent enough with Ronaldo up top and they don't have wingers.  What happens?  Limited attacking options, limited team, gets overrun in opponents' half.  r.e: the Brighton game, from memory they experimented with Eriksen up top (:D).

I'm just amazed anyone could be watching this game thinking "it'd just be the same if Ronaldo was up top".

I don’t think anyone is saying it would be the same if Ronaldo played. When he has missed other games they’ve been shit. This resurgence is down to a number of factors.

Someone should take one for the team and just headbutt Fernandes.

Part of the punishment for diving should be the next foul on them is unpunished.

That would quickly put an end to the little bastard!
