I don’t know what anyone wants from our aged forwards right now. They get absolutely no service. I’m watching the game live from a good elevated position and I can see Ronaldo constantly alert and hungry for balls into him. There’s just no concept as a team of how to create for our forwards.
Our fanbase just lurches from one overly reductive argument to another. Previously, everything would pick up when we sacked Ole and installed any semi-competent manager. That hasn’t come to pass. Now I am hearing a growing mob espousing that Ronaldo killed the dressing room and that we should never have signed him.
Seriously, where would we be without Ronaldo this season? People are getting deluded by a big big opening day win against Leeds. (Martial,) Rashford and Sancho are in shite form, Bruno can’t score for shit, Cavani is rarely fit and has two goals all season, whilst Greenwood is completely unproven at scoring from centre forward.
The crux of the matter is that there is no one manager we can appoint, or one player who we can sign, or one problem position we can resolve to make United sing. Stick Haaland up top in this team and he’d barely get a shot off either. Guardiola or Klopp aren’t competing for the title without a couple years of coaching and rebuilding this side. A magical DM ain’t solving our issues creatively and defensively.
It’s all so fecking reductive and predictible.
