The Caf's Ezza.
It's great that Ronaldo takes time to meet fans after the game.
2nd topscorer in the team and not a SINGLE stat pad. Also, shows how much we’ve struggled.
I’m convinced that if he was at City, he’d be competing for the golden boot.
Get your facts up. Ronaldo is not a poacher, he's a wide left forward, since 2016. Before that he was a left winger. A poacher is someone like Inzaghi, or Gerd
Things are no so black and white. Ronaldo at Bayern for example or even PSG is scoring 40 goals a season quite easily. Their are not 5 guys in the world better then him at finishing.Yourself included, no doubt. Cristiano Ronaldo mid-March, scores for the second time for the entire year of 2022, yet “is so far ahead of any player at United, it’s not close”.

You almost sound bitter one of our players scored a hat trickHe is the best ever again? This is all it takes for us to change opinion? Good for Ronaldo and 3 points. Let see what more he has to offer against Atlético and next EPL game.
Ok a couple things.I mean that's nice from you. But maybe look at your posts first, because you are literally one of the extreme examples bakalhau is talking about. You are one of the Top5 posters in the Ronaldo vs Messi thread, which is probably the biggest shitshow thread that exists in the Football forum. Everytime Ronaldo is involved your posts turn into fanboyish nonsense with everything just black and white, despite everyone knowing you can actually post a lot of good stuff when he isn't involved.
Also you obviously returned when he scored a hattrick, but were much less involved when he performed bad.
At the end of the day I am happy for him, but I am even more happy for Manchester United getting 3 points. I would be as happy if Sancho would have scored those 3 goals today. Would you? I think we both know the answer.
The second post was not solely directed at you to be fair.Coincidentally, they’re the best two teams in the sport. I should have caveated my post with ‘the top teams’ of course, but I thought that was implied. I don’t really care who Eintracht Frankfurt or Celta Vigo stick upfront. Chelsea makes 3 (Havertz), Madrid play with Benzema who is about as far as you can get from a classic no.9. Bayern Munich round out the top 5 but Lewandowski is far more than just a classic no.9 (which is what I said in my initial post).
take a chill pill, dude.
Because Ronaldo would fit into PSG a lot better and because Ronaldo at his age is better then Messi at 34 who is only Now having his first experience in a different team. Look at what Ibra did in PSG. Ronaldo would have a field day in ligue 1.Why would Ronaldo score 40 goals in Ligue 1 when Messi has only scored 2? It’s Mbappé’s team so he’d have to play second fiddle as well.
And the only player to score 40 goals a season in the past 40 years in Bundesliga is Lewandowski and he’s nowhere near as good as Lewandowski is at the moment.

They get more chances does not make them better finishers. If Ronaldo was still at real he would be scoring more then Benzema (he he in my top 5 finishers though) Haaland is also not a better finisher the kid is 21. He’s faster and stronger then Ronaldo because he’s younger and he’s a unit.Yes there are. Lewa, Haaland, Mbappé, Salah and Benzema.
The overreaction for this single game. It is like a thirsty man finding water in the desert.
I agree, players go to through stretches of form but few players in the world can score that first goal he did today.He's missed plenty during our drawing run to be fair.
A 37 years old is the reason we are still in the UCL and in the fight for the Top3-4.
Not just any 37 year old.
ThisLegendary performance but he was a complete passenger in the last few games. I suspect he needs to be used sparingly to get the best out of him.
Can you not just enjoy a legend of the game rolling back the years even if it is temporary?He is the best ever again? This is all it takes for us to change opinion? Good for Ronaldo and 3 points. Let see what more he has to offer against Atlético and next EPL game.
Pretty clear given the nature of those games.
Ronaldo is an issue. He's one of the highest paid players in the league yet someone we need to replace. Our fans are obsessed with absolving people on account of not being THE issue.
Myth:Busted
Myth indeed eh. Funny to see you lot disappear at these performances but quick to make an entrance when he's poor. Not only that, but exaggerate how poor he has been.
It's almost like some United fans enjoy seeing Ronaldo struggle. I'm not calling out anyone who said he has been crap before this game. He has been, but there is a certain segment of our fans that have a dislike and hate for Ronaldo which is so weird. To the point where they get some pleasure from seeing him fail.
Then there are the sort who say his poor performances is the reason the whole team plays bad!
Let me make it clear.
We would have been challenging for the league title without Ronaldo this season
I think the reactions are nearly always in reaction to complete overreactions by ultra fanboys.
When people just throw out statements like ‘Ronaldo would easily score 50 for a better team’ at age 37 despite pretty clear evidence he wouldn’t (he hasn’t scored 50 in a season for anyone since 2016 when he was 31, he hasn’t scored 40 in a season since he was 33), or ‘Ronaldo is clearly our best player’, when he’s been a problem in half of our games etc, it’s just hard not to get involved.
Talk about 2 opposing sets of stats!
The first one can't be right, as for starters 2 of today's 3 weren't match winners, and he also scored 2 against Arsenal.
So straight away, that's 4 of 18 that weren't match winners, so it'd be 78%, if i'm not overlooking another pair of goals somewhere.
