Pretty much in control defensively, and a few good moments in attack.
Fred being fred, so I assume once we replace him with Bruno we'll get that goal.Ronaldo not even arsed to watch until the chance is over. Would've been a good opportunity if he stayed focused...
Totally agree. It is literally on 20 other channels and rightly so. Ive been watching it for hours and glad of the footy for some much needed relief.
TV producers just don't understand the normal person. Either that or the lazy fecks have used it to have a bit of a skive offIt's difficult to watch Ronaldo... just seems odd.
Honestly watching the game and reading this thread at the same time, I feel like I must be watching a completely different game. Some of the expectations here are beyond hopeless.
It could also be due to individual quality (Elanga).
Lack of alternatives. Bruno can't play every game.So that first half happenedBruno for Fred and we're winning this easilyPathetic footballFeels so LVG at times
Have they turned down the stadium sound? Considering they blacked out the ad boards etc.Also wonder how much longer Elanga has before Garnacho gets a shot. Offers so little quality in the final third - his final ball and decision making are still really poor, despite at least a year in the first team.That half went so quick and absolutely nothing happened.Players look like they're playing with the queen on their minds.
Match should be called off and 3 points awarded to usSeen too many of those halves of football in recent yearsI refuse to believe this club turned down a chance to sell Ronaldo. Iqbal should get a shot early in the 2nd half, see if he can't change things up in midfield.Scrappy half of football looks like a United team that got together for the first time in the car park before the game.
The fact that they need 8 touches each in order to properly control the ball or they will give it away is really the foundation of our problems as a team.
And it’s obvious now who the deadwood are. Fred, Maguire, Lindelof and even Elanga. Elanga is not good enough with his end product. I’d take Garnacho any day of the week.That was alright. The work rate from us to win the ball back was really impressive. Our wide players haven’t done enough though.Half-timeNo intensity in our play. Ronaldo and fred have pretty much ended all attacks. Elanga and Antony decent.
he is, which is why it’s so stupid what he tried doing this summer. A last ego trip for him maybe? it’s a shame tuchel didn’t want himIt's difficult to watch Ronaldo... just seems odd.
Neither of them are fat. And even if they were, fat doesn’t equal shit or low effort either, I’d have a Tevez in my team over a Di Maria every time.BT having a shocker - blackout on ads and studio coverage? For what?
Improved as the half has gone on, and he takes up superb positions defensively, clear upgrade on McT in how he reads the game. A few sloppy moments on the ball and looks a tad sluggish in his movement though. Good game for him to tune up.If we had a striker we'd be up at half time. Time to go.
He must have needed to warm his foot up because he sent 4 balls over the touchline in the opening 5-10 minutes.Understandably it’s been played as if it’s a testimonial/local charity friendly.
Literally nothing even happened in that half other than an offside goal.
Definition of a huff and puff winger without any end product.Some decent stuff I think, but we lack sharpness when we get openings. Weak midfield, Fred playing poorly and Casemiro can't pass.@SportingCP96 have you seen him? Your idol finally looks finished... a sad sight.As expected a boring first halve. The team doesn’t seem to function that well with Ronaldo upfront.
Feel the game is just flat - fans aren't making much noise.
Especially considering everyone feels obligated to pass the ball to him, even when it's not on - I've mentioned it already, and just now, Elanga had acres of green grass to run into, what does he do? Force a pass to Ronaldo that's obviously not onRonaldo needs to stop having these tantrums, it's like he is acting like the main character of his movie. Just focus on the game, you are the most experienced player out there. Lead by example
He’s doing it on purpose!Painful.Hmmm, Queen Lizzie's death means I don't need to listen to Ray Winstone in a Bet365 advert. Every cloud.It's difficult to watch Ronaldo... just seems odd.
