Look at the first goal in that video - how Ronaldo's lack of pressing moves Bruno out of position, then Greenwood’s out of position, then Wan Bissaka out of position, Lindelof out of position then Maguire and finally Shaw - and then an easy goal for Liverpool.
Listen People are going to disagree but our football was better last year.
I'm not saying our midfield was perfect or our defence was perfect - but ultimately this problem I'm highlighting in this video did not exist. It was not there.
Now why do we want it to be there?
Because Ronaldo is a poacher? He is 36 and he can score an important goal but he is a player that has deemed himself as a player that should start every single game and play a full 90 mins. I see some weaknesses in his game these days that some people refuse to see whilst some strengths like his heading ability and his basic finishing ability are there -
have you noticed how he has hit alot of shots straight at the goalkeeper and no one says crap all? Some of his shots are straight at the knee caps of the opponent's and we lost possesion. His passing or hold up play isn't great because he was never a ST in his prime either so I'm not sure why he will be bossing it at 36
What do you think of his runs? Not his pressing but his runs? Can he make a run like Rashford did off the bench to Lindelof's long range pass? You are probably going to say no, but he is old - but that is right, he is old and he does not play that way anymore and ultimately it will have consequences on our overall ability as a team.
Do you think Ronaldo looks like a hattrick a match player in the PL anymore? How confident are you of his finishing? At the age of 36 how often do you think he will score 2 goals a match? Do you think we can build a team that gets the best out of Ronaldo at the age of 36-37 and still use goalscorers like Rashford, Greenwood and Bruno to the best of their ability because I'm already hearing that some should be dropped and we should change formation to get the best out of a 36 year old player instead of younger ones.
I've got nothing against him - my Goat and everything, ultimately I support United over Ronaldo though. This is a player that left us in his prime and came back a slightly different player that needs to be managed different- yet he is getting managed the same, getting supported the same as the guy that's still in his prime. I do not believe so. Nothing is permanent, everything decays and deteriorates eventually- Ronaldo is the same.
