Yea because the goal was clearly his fault.So people still keep ignoring that we were actually winning when he came on.

It’s partly fan boy mentality, and partly common phenomenon of great rivalry. One being better or achieve greater things would often be at the expense of the other greatness being diminished, as peoole often like to rate their own GOAT or best ever.Even if you think Messi is better, does that make Ronaldo any less of a great footballer? He's still one of the best players to every lace up a pair of boots.
I think some people use Messi to put down Ronaldo as an insult after every great achievement Ronaldo does which means Ronaldo doesn't get the credit he deserves. Which is a bit sad really we can't just enjoy it for what it is without constantly turning it into a competition abouts who's better etc or about Messi.
When Wayne Rooney scored a great goal (that goal against Man City for example) or done an amazing achievement like becoming United's record scorer, people and the media didn't put it down by posting about Ronaldo or Messi or comparing it to a Messi or Ronaldo goal to try to belittle the achievement? I don't get that warped mentality why people do it when Ronaldo does something good to bring up Messi (you must really hate the guy to spend that energy negativity). Enjoy it for what it is as he will be long retired soon.
It's boring. I'm just happy one of them plays for my club and plays in the Premier League every-week. As it stands Ronaldo's contract expires at the end of next season, so whether he decides to retire or just leaves the club I'll tell my grandkids about seeing Ronny play tor us.
Nope, was probably clearly Cavani’s fault, the guy who was doing well and then came off for Ronaldo.Yea because the goal was clearly his fault.
He's the least of the team's problems, but oh well.Here we go again
Falling in the same trap as Juve.That was absolutely diabolical and painful to watch. Hes a fantastic player but absolutely at the wrong club. We hardly create clear chances and gift goals for fun. If he'd gone to city he'd have just scored 3 vs Burnley
Yeah, jeez. If this isn't proof that shit coaching can make everyone look shit, I don't know what is.He's the least of the team's problems, but oh well.
He missed three sitters mate. One from Sancho, one from Shaw and one from Bruno. His legs are gone. If he was a bit, just a tiny bit faster he could have buried them all.That was absolutely diabolical and painful to watch. Hes a fantastic player but absolutely at the wrong club.

So do all strikers. It's why all of ours look just as bad as this today. Excuses are made for some but others get slated for the same.He’s fine, not his best game but everyone is shit.
He’s a player who needs chances created for him.

It's everyone's fault except for Ronnie as always. Juve fell off a cliff when he went there.
Sure, he was crap today. He wasn’t crap for Portugal though.
Had a shocker. Playing Ronaldo looses theCavani pressing.. starting to see why pep said no.
Agreed.Actually he's indeed a huge problem, regardless of Ole's awful tactics. It feels we're stuck with a player at the end of his career who offers nothing when he doesn't score, and we can't bench him because of how big a name he's. If he keeps on playing like this under the next manager, it'll be a huge, huge headache in how to move on from him.

Will be invisible if the team is invisible.

I think this is the best post, amongst a bunch of woeful over emotional posts.
He'll be one of the sharpest finishers. He had 5 in 5 at the start for us, people seem to forget that already.
But in games like today, our total lack of system, and hopeful reliance on individuals comes home to roost.
It is a good post. I'm a huge fan and always watch the games he plays at and the same happened in Juve.
I'm a firm believer I prefer Ronaldo to play badly rather than being invisible. Playing badly at least means he's in the game. Being invisible is just wasting him and the salary you're playing him.
Mind you, last 3 years he had at Real Madrid he was already moving out of build up play and the same absolutely happened as its happened in the last United games. RM struggled to create, and he was invisible. The difference was that those were the exception, not the rule (this last part is not a dig at United itself).
Today we gave him three clear cut chances if you watch the match. One from Sancho, one from Shaw and one from Bruno.I dread to be around the cafe over the next month!
Roll on that run of easier opponents where we might make him a chance or 2!
