Whatever, its a poor pass from my naked eyes.
It's not and even in statistical eyes it isn't.
Mistakes happen, even the greatest players miss easy chances.

Yeah, this is correct. It was actually about as good a pass as he could have played in that scenario. Ronny will be disappointed he didn’t put it away (probably something like a 75-80% chance of a goal for him) but everyone misses occasionally.Rashford had to place it there. If he placed the pass further forward it would have been blocked by the Norwich defender. It wasn't a complete sitter, but Ronaldo really should have done better.
I don’t think so. End of the day Ronaldo has been better than Rashford recently even if he was poor yesterday. I’m not just slating Rashford based on that one display he’s been absolutely shocking for months. Find him easily the most frustrating player in our team.He lost it nearly every time he had it. Bullied off the ball easily.
You're playing favourites.
Rangnick said in one of his first interviews you have to adapt to the players at the club. Fairly sure he's more than happy to accommodate Ronaldo in his system, also said he was very impressed by Ronaldo in a later interview.Rangnick will never get us playing how he wants with Ronaldo upfront.
For the 4-2-2-2 system to work, the front two have to press like crazy. If there is a drop in intensity, we are massively exposed on the wings. We saw that yesterday against the team bottom of the league.
Ronaldo is obviously a legend, but it's clear he's struggling with the intensity of the league due to his age. His legs have gone. United should be using him as impact sub and letting the younger players implement the style that Rangnick wants. By playing Ronaldo, we are becoming reliant on Ronaldo, who's almost 37, scoring goals. We should be focusing on playing better as a team and the goals will come as a result. We then wouldn't be solely reliant on Ronaldo, whose best days are long gone.
Fair enough. I think Rangnick has to be clever when asked about whether Ronaldo suits his system in order to avoid a media storm. He probably can't say what he thinks, although he did talk about the body language/lack of intensity from Ronaldo/Rashford yesterday.Rangnick said in one of his first interviews you have to adapt to the players at the club.

I agree he needs to be managed in Rangnick's high intensity system, but who are we to bring in currently? Rashford is a very lazy player, his performances have been worse lately; Greenwood won't be much of an improvement and Cavani will probably be injured again shortly after returning. Martial wants to leave and is the laziest player we have seen anyway. Honestly, bar Cavani, Ronaldo is probably more suited than these players - he's already trying to adapt his game as we saw against Palace.

Yeh its clearly a miss chance, but its a poor pass too.It's not and even in statistical eyes it isn't.

United have shot themselves in the foot by bringing back Ronaldo. He should be a impact sub but given his status, if he doesn't start there is massive headlines, as we saw when he was benched against Chelsea.
Last season, without Ronaldo, we had no problem scoring goals. The goals were shared around the team and Bruno looked a much better player without having to serve Ronaldo each game.
Greenwood for me should be starting most games, he's the future and should play.
I won't disagree but we have zero proof that he won't be a fit either. We didn't even press yesterday. If everyone pressed and Ronaldo was the only one who didn't, then I could have understood the logic.Rangnick will never get us playing how he wants with Ronaldo upfront.

Well, to be fair the whole team was terrible, with only exception being Fred and De Gea.Terrible Performance from Ronaldo, people blaming the pass need to stop sucking up to Ronaldo, ridiculous. You expect Ronaldo to finish that 9 times out of 10 regardless of the pass.
His overall play was terrible as well, especially in the first half.
This is a very sensible postRangnick will never get us playing how he wants with Ronaldo upfront.

Let me get this straight...you're saying Ronaldo cost Ole his job?This is a very sensible post
I love Ronaldo but He is not the future
I hope he gets injured for a few weeks so we can actually see how we play without him
The media and fans obsession with Ronaldo has been to the detriment of Utd and we now look like a crap team and it has cost Ole his job
I hope Ronaldo retires at the end of the season or goes to the MLS
I hate when I read and they say Ronaldo saves Utd again..when he was bloody anonymous all game
At least last season we looked liked a team,now just look like a bunch of individuals running around
We need to move to the future and the future is not Ronaldo..I’m sorry.
If Ronaldo did cost Ole his job, that's the best thing he has done to this club.This is a very sensible post

Holy crap. Also, hilarious you'll say he cost Ole his job... given the fact that he basically saved him in the CL and won him like 10 points in the league single-handedly. He was probably the only man that even bothered to extend Ole's stay here.This is a very sensible post

His overall play isn’t terrible by any stretch of the imagination, in general. It was yesterday, but that’s hardly his normal level.
He costed Ole his job by exposing how bad he was as a manager . If anything Ronaldo had prolonged Ole's tenure by bailing him out multiple times especially in CLLet me get this straight...you're saying Ronaldo cost Ole his job?
Total nonsense! You hope Ronaldo get an injury to prove your point? What a terrible human being you are!This is a very sensible post

There will be 5+ more months to go for the season. If he keep same rate, he would score another 22+ more, and will end the season with around 35+ goals, which will be similar to his previous numbers at Juventus.13 goals and 2 assists in 18 appearances, played his first game on 11th September vs Newcastle and yesterday against Norwich his latest, 3 months later. I wonder how many goals will Ronaldo have scored at the end of the season but at this rate it should be a fine number for a 37 year old.
You think Ronaldo is the future then??Total nonsense! You hope Ronaldo get an injury to prove your point? What a terrible human being you are!
We lose at home vs West Ham in league cup early round when Ronaldo got rested.
Loss to young boys when Ronaldo got sub out in 55 mins.
And didn’t win a game when Ronaldo is being rested and sub on late in the game.
So that already cost us a cup, some valuable points in the league.
And he is our top scorer, winning most points for us, far more than anymore else.
And here you are, wanting him to get injured, so you could prove your point? Are you someone who think that, if we didn’t play Ronaldo we would turn around those loss against Liverpool, City, Leicester? Like seriously?
Goal machine. I'd just love it if we get some trophy while Ronaldo is at United, at least Fa Cup.There will be 5+ more months to go for the season. If he keep same rate, he would score another 22+ more, and will end the season with around 35+ goals, which will be similar to his previous numbers at Juventus.
We have been building for future over many years already, we have always been building for the future. But its nearly 8 years since Fergie era, the future never arrived. Back then Jones and Smalling were supposed to be our future CB, Cleverley and Gibson were supposed to be our future CM, then later Janujai and even Martial was supposed to be our future star attacking players too. Pogba was bought back for huge sum of money to lead our midfield in future. None of them delivered.You think Ronaldo is the future then??
this season is a wasted season
we just need to start building for the future
ok I would like Ronaldo not be injured but to get rested once in a while so that we can start playing modern football with energy
hope that makes me a better person
Ronaldo shouldn't start more than a game / week if we are going to get the best out of him. He looked exhausted against Norwich. We don't have much of a choice however. Ole benched him, SAF made a comment on starting the best players always, and it was downhill from there.
The twitter account just posted his goal vs Newcastle from 3 months ago and no one can tell me he's finished. Fast as a rocket when he makes a run.
