Poor today, it is ok to say it without blaming everyone else.
Is that gonna be the next excuseI'm not feeling him back in the first team.
He is one of my favourite players and my GOAT.
However the guy is 36 and you can't tell me that it doesn't show? He is only a poacher now.
He was suddenly available so was suddenly bought.
Our RW to this season was going to be Sancho. Our RW to nearly every match.
Our ST was going to be Greenwood. Likewise.
It has all changed to fit in a 36 year old.
As great as he is - he is old.
I think people need to realise the dribbling and shoot Ronaldo is gone, the only one who is left is a pure poacher. And a 36 year old poacher is not going to get in to the game.
Mason refusing to pass to him didn't help eitherHad absolutely no service today. Good ball into Pogba.
There is nothing else to say.
Agreed, but if Mason had eyes the narrative would be completely different. Ronaldo was getting into the right positions in the first half. We get the lead early and it can be a totally different game.Poor today, it is ok to say it without blaming everyone else.
Yeah Greenwood was really selfish today.Mason refusing to pass to him didn't help either

Bruno knows the importance of swinging the ball in early. Not too many others do.
If you have Ronaldo in the box and you have a chance to cross it, don't think, just cross it
It would have be true if Sancho was on fired and ready to start.It will seem strange given his goals but the Ronaldo signing has fecked everything up.
Sancho was signed to play on the right with Greenwood being given more opportunities to play upfront. Now we have Ronaldo who can only play centre forward meaning Greenwood has to play on the right and Sancho on the left.
Ronaldo was a very strange, last minute panic signing which has ruined the balance of the team upfront. His signing was unnecessary and will disrupt the development of Sancho and Greenwood in order to accommodate him in the starting 11.
The club continues to be a complete mess.
When Sancho is fully fit and plays in the position he was signed for, where does Greenwood play, given Ronaldo's ego makes him a certainty to start upfront?It would have be true if Sancho was on fired and ready to start.
He was not.
Greenwood is not ready to play 9 full time. Also Ronaldo doesn't play every game anyway. This makes your whole agument moot.When Sancho is fully fit and plays in the position he was signed for, where does Greenwood play, given Ronaldo's ego makes him a certainty to start upfront?

He has, but how have we played as a team in those games? Always going to score goals but at a cost, it seems.Dude has literally scored in every game untill today. Are you sure that his ego is what makes him start upfront? I thought it was his quality.

Oh trust me I do blame the coach, and his lack of ability.Things were going so great before he arrived? I must have missed that phase. United has always been average under Ole. Maybe blame the coach and not one of the best goalscorers in the history of the game.
But at a cost, you say. What is it?Oh trust me I do blame the coach, and his lack of ability.
Imagine actually blaming the best goalscorer of all time instead of Ole. Denial as a defence mechanism well and truly alive here.Things were going so great before he arrived?

About as well as we played in the previous 2 years Ole has managed us.He has, but how have we played as a team in those games? Always going to score goals but at a cost, it seems.
The Leeds match showed the potential that Greenwood has in the number 9 position but I agree with you that he's not ready to play there full time. That is why Cavani was perfect last season for the role of coming in and out of the team with little fuss. The Ronaldo signing will massively reduce Greenwood centre forward opportunities given Ronaldo will want to start all PL games as CF as he chases goal scoring records. The problem is the knock-on effect that Ronaldo has on the team. Greenwood will have to play on the right and the guy (Sancho) we signed for the right wing will have to play on the left, but then where does Rashford play? Where and when does Cavani play?Greenwood is not ready to play 9 full time. Also Ronaldo doesn't play every game anyway. This makes your whole agument moot.
The cost of having too many passengers in the first team. Especially when we don’t have the ball. This would work if we had a fully functioning midfield but we don’t and you can see how much we struggle off the ball.But at a cost, you say. What is it?
We need to have midfielders who can control the game to have the full effect of Ronaldo playing and stretching opposition backline.
What we do have is midfielders who can't control a fecking ball, let alone a fecking game.
We played with 4 midfielders and 2 of them were supposed to be specialist midfielders by trade.The cost of having too many passengers in the first team. Especially when we don’t have the ball. This would work if we had a fully functioning midfield but we don’t and you can see how much we struggle off the ball.
Of course he’s going to bang in goals but we pretty much play hit and hope football even more now with him in there. Don’t see any game plan really, do you?
Glad most people are starting to realise this now. It’s like Mourinhos last season. For us to move forward the romanticism has to end and we need an actual manager.About as well as we played in the previous 2 years Ole has managed us.

No, we should’ve sorted that issue before signing a CF we didn’t need, also pushing Greenwood wide and giving less chances to our big signing we wanted for ages. Shoehorning players in for the sake of it never works. This is why we are in this state. I love the fact we have Ronaldo and we have so many great attacking options. A pity we have no idea how to use them.We played with 4 midfielders and 2 of them were supposed to be specialist midfielders by trade.
So, in your mind, the CF should fix it or involve with that issue?
