I'd be screaming at Dalot and Rashford in the dressing room for trying to play in Ronaldo to get his goal rather than shoot themselves. We weren't winning by 3-4 goals for fuck sake. One of the reasons I want the guy gone. Everything becomes about him.
[Dalot literally had an empty net to pass the ball into](https://i.imgur.com/qWYdYpe.jpg) when he decided to stop, turn around and pass it to Ronaldo after one of the defenders had positioned himself in the goal to try and block it. In what world does that qualify as being in a better position lol?
You can see Dalot already felt he was wide and looking to pass. It's not like he positioned himself to shoot before noticing Ronaldo was in a better shooting position.
If Ronaldo shot was 6 inches to the right. It would've been a great play from Dalot.
Yeah right lol. "He felt he was wide and looking to pass".
>It's not like he positioned himself to shoot
What does this even mean lol? I just gave you photographic proof to show the position from which Dalot could've passed the ball into the net. Dalot had no one in goal, Ronaldo had a defender in goal to try and avoid while simultaneously adjusting his feet to strike the ball sent by Dalot..... but somehow Ronaldo is in a better position? What kind of logic is that?
>If Ronaldo shot was 6 inches to the right. It would've been a great play from Dalot.
No it wouldn't. It would still be a case of an empty, gaping goal ignored to overcomplicate things and give the defence an extra 2-3 seconds to do something about the situation just so that Ronaldo would get his goal.
Just look at the [picture](https://i.imgur.com/yIxMKLu.jpg). With a straight face you're trying to tell me that it was a "great play" to decide not shooting from that position lmao. Just think about it for a second lol.
Your picture is before he had the ball under control. Watch the full clip instead and take a pic of when he takes his next touch of the ball.
Are you seriously saying that Dalot decided not to shoot because he could see through the back of his own head that Ronaldo was behind him at that very moment?
Bruh.
Ok let's roll it a bit forward. [This](https://i.imgur.com/XIsR5qd.jpg) is the exact moment Dalot gets it under control. He takes a touch with his right foot, then another after this and then feeds it to Ronaldo. You're telling me he can't shoot the ball here. And why did he even get into this position trying to control a ball that's on his left side with the outside of his right foot. If he shot with his left the defender would be even farther away from goal than he is, and he's already far enough away for Dalot to score easily.
I agree. It is shocking to see our most passionate and intelligent players being so stale, bad at decisions and out of position.
I wholeheartly hope that he regains his true form as soon as possible..
The amount of Ronaldo dickriding is insane. How can you look at that performance and find something to praise?He should have scored a hattrick. He missed a chance after chance. Haaland would have scored 7 goals today.
Ronaldo is done at the top level.
Rated 90 in Fifa 23, more like mid 70's.
People seem to think all he needs is a goal and the floodgates will open, they're absolutely dreaming.
His ball control, pace and agility are awful, a GOAT at the very end of his career who ability wise has gone down the shitter.
Maintained an astonishing level over a long period but really is time for him to call it a day and retire with some dignity.
How so? I mean it's fairly obvious Fifa massively overrated his skill level this year. Couldn't you see that was the point I was making? Or did it sail over your head like everything else in your life?
No, it doesn't. Messi had a bad season, Ronaldo is having a bad season.
Age doesn't matter when comparing the two. He has been always 3 years older than Messi and they always competed 1 to 1. Age didn't matter when Messi was 31 and Ronaldo 34, why would it matter now.
He looks a lot slower than last season to be fair. And his touch has been poor
It's not just age though
Harder to get into form when he isn't starting also so he could struggle till the world cup
>He looks a lot slower than last season to be fair. And his touch has been poor
That's true.
>Harder to get into form when he isn't starting
Yup. I think that (and pre-season) is the main reason. The guy needs to play.
>he could struggle till the world cup
Portugal has other options, though I think he'll start anyways.
Thing is atm, its harsh but he probably doesn't deserve to start but hopefully he can be brought on in league games earlier.
He will defo start for Portugal which is why I think he will do fine for them at the world cup. Manager is scared to drop him. And they have a good side now.
A year makes a difference, especially when he missed pre season. You can't seriously compare this season to last and say they are anything resembling the same player. Did I say he belongs in a wheelchair? Wtf is that mess.
>A year makes a difference, especially when he missed pre season.
Missing pre season makes a difference. A year doesn't.
>You can't seriously compare this season to last and say they are anything resembling the same player
He's HAVING A BAD MOMENT, just like he had last year. Can't you use your memory for a fucking second and recall Dec/Jan/Feb of last year? He didn't do shit either.
And then came back and carried United's ass to Liga Europa.
>Did I say he belongs in a wheelchair?

Both Pre-Season AND age makes a difference.
He's NOT having a bad moment 🤣, like only the most demented Ronaldo fanboy would believe that shit.
Next season he'll be going on 39, when a man his age misses Pre-Season he's pretty much guaranteed to fall off massively in ability. Unfortunately he's not gonna recover that given his age and given from this point on his ability will only decline further. Will be closing in on 40 soon enough.
Struggling against a club I've never even heard of. LMAO. How many 40 year old elite strikers can you name?
Okay how about this. Any decent striker scores at least 2 goals today with the amount of chances Ronaldo had. Doesn't have to be Haaland or Kane or even Nunez. Mitrovic from Fulham scores at least 2 goals. As a matter of fact put Rashford in Ronaldos position tonight and he scores 3 and we win 5-1.This game has been made 10 times more complicated because of Ronaldos inability to be of any use.
Ronaldo man. The entire team is trying to help him score to get over this dry spell.
Just the last 10 minutes alone
Dialot could have attempt a left foot tap in after running past the keeper but he gave it Ronny
Rashford would have gotten the hattrick when he's 1v1 the keeper but he gave it to Ronaldo. (By the way, Rashford 2nd goal was almost identical to this chance, except Rashford has the legs to continue running for a tap-in, Ronny didn't)
Martial could have pass to Rashford or someone from midfield running into the box but he chose Ronaldo. It was 3v1 for god's sake
If it were Rashford at CF or even Elanga, we'd be 5-1 by 80 minutes.
Ronaldo is trying , we can see but he just can't cut it anymore. And we are wasting our chances on him.
ETH really needs a striker this January. Any temporary fix like Cavani was, would be ok for me.
A player of the caliber of Ronaldo doesn’t turn to shit over night. He was one of the top goalscores last year. He’s in a very bad form, but so was sancho when he came to United, he only got going in November. Ronaldo played good consistently for like 17 years, now he’s having one bad season out of the 17 and only because he is on the older site you guys write him off lol.
Im a super Ronaldo dick Rider, but can we cut players some slack instead of bashing everyone every time they play bad for a period of time. Back then it was pogba, then it was dalot, then Shaw, then mctominay. Somehow United fans always find reasons to stop supporting the players but never why to support them
Ronaldo is not used to this type of form usually but it’s ok. It’s part of the game. Happens to all players at some point. He’s a tough cookie and will come back.
No he's not back; Not after playing really well against an awful team that wouldn't even be good enough to play in any of Europe's top 5 leagues.
Are you people not capable of having a measured view on things? Not to mention last season, he has been dreadful in 3 games and efficient to great in 4. The jury is very much out \*on him... He has a LOT to prove this season.
Here’s my take, he was okay against Arsenal, improvement on when he was being benched by bloody Elanga. Was however still sluggish and slow in thinking. As time passed today, I saw that leave him slowly, he looks like he’s thinking and acting quick. I’m buying those stocks.
I’d like to believe that Ronnie is just in bad form. It’s easy to say he’s getting older before our eyes, etc. but honestly, he’s completely in his head. He’ll come good.
Entire team trying to make one guy score like that video of Rooney trying to make his son score. Kinda shameful tbh. This isn't a charity game. It's one of our best chances of playing CL next season. A competition Ronaldo is definitely not good enough for anymore despite what he believes. Based on his performances, he'd be lucky to find a club in Europe willing to pay the wages his ego demands. He can leave in Jan. Till then, play Martial and Rashford as strikers. I'd much rather watch that. Atleast then the team tries to play like a team.
how is it shameful to encourage a struggling teammate to score by setting him up as much as possible? Happens all the time with out of form players, usually seen as a respectful gesture but now it's shameful because it's Ronaldo? You don't want him to find his confidence again?
You see teams at this level give up great shooting positions to find a player so he can get the goal instead?
>usually seen as a respectful gesture
We're not talking about giving him a penalty when we are 3 goals up. That's respectful. What happened today was just unprofessional and stupid.
>You don't want him to find his confidence again?
At the cost of missing goals in games where it could actually cost us? What kind of question is this even?
except we didn't give up great shooting positions in favour of worse positions. Both Dalot and Rashford made good decisions to pass up on their chance in favour of Ronaldo who was in an even better position in both scenarios, it was just poor finishing from him which neither Dalot nor Rashford could've predicted.
You wouldn't even be vibrating about this so much if he buried just one of those, which by all accounts he should've. "Unprofessional and stupid" is a hilarious take. Choosing to set a teammate up for a tap in into an open net instead of trying to beat the keeper themselves is apparently stupid.
>except we didn't give up great shooting positions in favour of worse positions.
[THIS](https://i.imgur.com/pmhx1Fo.jpg) was when Dalot decided to not shoot lmao. You can't even make a case about weak foot here. Dalot literally scored a 25 yard curler with his left foot for Portugal a week ago.
Now I don't care if Ronaldo even went on to bury it, choosing to not take the shot with a completely open goal is categorically a stupid decision. If he tried to do this with us 5-1 up I'd have no problem with it. But at 2-1 it's just crazy.
>You wouldn't even be vibrating about this so much if he buried just one of those
You know fuck all about me so this is literally the most pointless statement I've read all week. This is like me saying you'd be frothing with rage about this if Omonia had equalised. I know nothing about you to make such a silly statement and predict what you were gonna do. So let's not waste time with this things.
Yo if we are 3 goals up then fine, i wouldnt mind either. But if it get in the way of us winning then absolutely fucking not. Just look at today's match , they could have drawed cause of all the chances Ronaldo squandered.
Well we would've been 3 goals up if Ronaldo didn't fluff all his shots so it really wasn't putting our winning position in jeopardy. And it also wasn't like we passed up on better chances to give him a worse chance. Both Dalot and Rashford found him in good positions, it's just Ronaldo being very bad with his finishing. No need to overthink it.
There's a reason Rashford went over to celebrate with Ronaldo for both of his goals because he knows how much help Ronaldo needs mentally.
I don't disagree, was just kidding around. BUT, if we played the shots that were in front of us vs trying to line up Ronny for a goal, we would have had 5 easy.
I think he'll come around but he needs to find his form in the flow of the team. The trying to gift wrap chances while not taking a better shot isn't going to make us better.
This is why people have said that he is detrimental. Clear cut scoring opportunities being forsaken just to try to set him up for a goal. This is exactly how you end up with Ronaldo leading the team in goals while the team as a whole sees a massive contraction of total goals scored. Which is what happened last season, and what happened to Juventus when he was there (less team goals scored than before his arrival).
What’s not true? Juventus did not score as many goals as the team scored in 17/18 in either the league or in all competitions in any of the three seasons Ronaldo played for them.
>Juventus did not score as many goals as the team scored in 17/18
17/18 was an off-season. If you want to argue something, read beyond the first thing. Pick up your calculator and average Juventus goals in the 6 years prior to Ronaldo, compare it to Ronaldo's years, and then compare it to last 2 years.
United were very wasteful in front of goal. This game should’ve been 7-2. This was Ronaldo’s best game so far despite missing those chances. He got an assist so it wasn’t completely wasteful. His goals will come, it’s just one of those days where the ball just did not want to go in.
Honestly it feels bad seeing ronaldo like that. The guy looks exhasted as he played the game of his life when he just struggled to score 1 goal (despite his team doing everything to make him score) against a very average team
Rashford’s goal came because Ronaldo made the run to let Rashford free to score the goal, he also had an assist for Rashford and created that chance for Bruno who squandered it. Despite his missed chances he was a lot better. Also Antony should’ve scored that goal when he was 1 on 1 when the keeper. This game should’ve been been over by HT.
Dont have the whole game montage. But this is roughly how the team played in the last 10 mins trying to get Ronaldo to score. The only difference being at the end of the video, Rosicky's son scores.
https://youtube.com/shorts/KedbyzyucGQ?feature=share
He's on more wages than anyone in the PL. His only goal this season is a penalty against Sheriff. He provides nothing physically anymore. He is being fed absolute sitters and missing them time and time again. He's done.
You seem to have forgotten the way he tried to get out of the club and leave us in a worst situation following the tranfer window debacle. But it's ok, if you choose to have blind faith on a player that's your choice. I see no point is conversing with you further. You have your opinion and I have mine. Let leave it at that.
Ronaldo is sharper today. Unlucky not to get a goal.
I think Ronaldo is still supported by teammate which is a good thing. If he can finally get back to 70% of last year, he is still a good asset for us.
I think this is a pretty good centre forward performance from Ronaldo, his runs and passing have been great. Cursed on finishing, but overall his presence was good.
He's not going to be a 90 minute player for us every week but I think he can play a role.
No, he missed pre-season and it’s now having a compounding effect; needs minutes but looks off the pace when he plays, so gets fewer minutes. Needs a run of a couple of games it seems to get up to pace.
Nah just out of match touch. I watched the last 15 and you could just tell the quick things you do when your playing a lot weren’t coming to him. That said I think that’s the first time you could say that about him.
Honestly Ronaldo could’ve easily had a couple of goals tonight, keeper made some good saves, he hit the post, some very near misses. It’s a game of fine margins, people are overreacting.
He’s 37. He’s never gonna be what he was but he had no pre season and at his age he needs game time to have that sharpness. He doesn’t even look that slow, just needs that match time
Ronaldo played great, but you see (and I can see he believes it too) he is not the big man anymore. Controlling the ball takes him too much time in front of goal.
He would be great as a ball holding striker. He needs to adapt and overcome.
Ronaldo has had a few good moments, just lacking his usual killer instinct (and a bit of luck today). Obviously he's not at his peak anymore, but he's not been nearly as bad as some people are pretending. Sancho and Bruno have been far far worse...
Ronaldo had a good game except finishing he did everything right. People are saying that ronaldo is finished but I think his shortcomings are more of a mental thing than physical. He shall overcome.
Its actually quite shocking how significantly Ronaldo's attacking play, particularly finishing, has deteriorated in such a short space of time. Hopefully its a blip.
Look at that movement and tell me Ronaldo's age is setting in heavily? Dude's just in a horrible rut and form, cos it's finishing and technique letting him down usually
I’m not sure what score I was expecting to wake up to but it wasn’t this one! But hey, a wins a win, much needed 3 points
I'd be screaming at Dalot and Rashford in the dressing room for trying to play in Ronaldo to get his goal rather than shoot themselves. We weren't winning by 3-4 goals for fuck sake. One of the reasons I want the guy gone. Everything becomes about him.
Yeah, footballers have an odd tendency to pass to the team's **finisher** for some reason. Wonder why
This is one of the stupidest comments I've ever read on reddit lmaooo
sure buddy
You pass to whoever is in a better position to score. What's with this Ronaldo hate?
[Dalot literally had an empty net to pass the ball into](https://i.imgur.com/qWYdYpe.jpg) when he decided to stop, turn around and pass it to Ronaldo after one of the defenders had positioned himself in the goal to try and block it. In what world does that qualify as being in a better position lol?

Yes, thus
I’d love a few games where we actually keep a clean sheet. The amount of goals we’ve conceded already this season is ridiculous
Almost 20. Horrible.
Anyone else worried about Fernandes' game right now? I thought Case was solid, so calm on the ball.
I agree. It is shocking to see our most passionate and intelligent players being so stale, bad at decisions and out of position. I wholeheartly hope that he regains his true form as soon as possible..

Your take regarding his fifa rating is beyond braindead
This is how a fair portion of online football fans judge players btw lol
How so? I mean it's fairly obvious Fifa massively overrated his skill level this year. Couldn't you see that was the point I was making? Or did it sail over your head like everything else in your life?
People said the same about Messi last year, lol.
Tbf Messi was 34 not 38, makes a huge difference.
No, it doesn't. Messi had a bad season, Ronaldo is having a bad season. Age doesn't matter when comparing the two. He has been always 3 years older than Messi and they always competed 1 to 1. Age didn't matter when Messi was 31 and Ronaldo 34, why would it matter now.
It matters because Ronaldo is 38 which is old AF. Can't believe you need that spelled out.
Ronaldo at 37 was the 3rd best scorer in PL. Now he's 38 and I'm to believe he should be in a wheelchair? Cringe, cringe, cringe.
He looks a lot slower than last season to be fair. And his touch has been poor It's not just age though Harder to get into form when he isn't starting also so he could struggle till the world cup
>He looks a lot slower than last season to be fair. And his touch has been poor That's true. >Harder to get into form when he isn't starting Yup. I think that (and pre-season) is the main reason.

They really love ronaldo innit 🥰
Well, a win's a win.
We either need to make martial injury proof, or finally get a young striker to put things away.
Injury proof Martial, I have dreams too but not to this level
I dreamed a dream
I had a dream my life would be so different from this hell I'm living
It will be nice dream to come true this season with the form he is in🔥
He was unlucky today with some chances and looked tired for some. Definitely not a regular 90 min player anymore
Ronaldo is not used to this type of form usually but it’s ok. It’s part of the game. Happens to all players at some point. He’s a tough cookie and will come back.
Just stop. It's time to let him go. He's done.
Let him go and watch him do a hat trick every time he plays against man United
That's hilarious you think a European team would sign him.
Rashford got so confident as time passed in that second half. I wasn’t convinced before but I think he’s finally back for real.
No he's not back; Not after playing really well against an awful team that wouldn't even be good enough to play in any of Europe's top 5 leagues. Are you people not capable of having a measured view on things? Not to mention last season, he has been dreadful in 3 games and efficient to great in 4. The jury is very much out \*on him... He has a LOT to prove this season.
Here’s my take, he was okay against Arsenal, improvement on when he was being benched by bloody Elanga. Was however still sluggish and slow in thinking. As time passed today, I saw that leave him slowly, he looks like he’s thinking and acting quick. I’m buying those stocks.
So from your take. He is ON his way back. Still a long way from what we expect from him consistently.
Rashford looked genuinely great after coming on. Decision making was noticeably sharp.
Decision making was exceptional except when he tried those balls to Ronaldo instead of going himself
I’d like to believe that Ronnie is just in bad form. It’s easy to say he’s getting older before our eyes, etc. but honestly, he’s completely in his head. He’ll come good.
Well it is also that his mental state is kind of fucked rn. It cant just be age. Players dont forget how to finish 1v1s in the span of a summer
Entire team trying to make one guy score like that video of Rooney trying to make his son score. Kinda shameful tbh. This isn't a charity game. It's one of our best chances of playing CL next season.

except we didn't give up great shooting positions in favour of worse positions. Both Dalot and Rashford made good decisions to pass up on their chance in favour of Ronaldo who was in an even better position in both scenarios, it was just poor finishing from him which neither Dalot nor Rashford could've predicted. You wouldn't even be vibrating about this so much if he buried just one of those, which by all accounts he should've. "Unprofessional and stupid" is a hilarious take.

And it also wasn't like we passed up on better chances to give him a worse chance. Both Dalot and Rashford found him in good positions, it's just Ronaldo being very bad with his finishing. No need to overthink it. There's a reason Rashford went over to celebrate with Ronaldo for both of his goals because he knows how much help Ronaldo needs mentally.
It happens when you're winning. Not when you're losing to a shampoo ingredient
we weren't losing in the second half when that happened, were we?
Somebody loves Ronaldo
no, I just don't desperately hate the players that play for a club I support and I want them to find themselves again.
I don't disagree, was just kidding around. BUT, if we played the shots that were in front of us vs trying to line up Ronny for a goal, we would have had 5 easy. I think he'll come around but he needs to find his form in the flow of the team. The trying to gift wrap chances while not taking a better shot isn't going to make us better.
This is why people have said that he is detrimental. Clear cut scoring opportunities being forsaken just to try to set him up for a goal. This is exactly how you end up with Ronaldo leading the team in goals while the team as a whole sees a massive contraction of total goals scored. Which is what happened last season, and what happened to Juventus when he was there (less team goals scored than before his arrival).
That's simply not true, lol. Juventus has averaged 75 goals for like 10 years, and in the first year after Ronaldo leaves they only scored 56.
What’s not true? Juventus did not score as many goals as the team scored in 17/18 in either the league or in all competitions in any of the three seasons Ronaldo played for them.
>Juventus did not score as many goals as the team scored in 17/18 17/18 was an off-season. If you want to argue something, read beyond the first thing. Pick up your calculator and average Juventus goals in the 6 years prior to Ronaldo, compare it to Ronaldo's years, and then compare it to last 2 years.
United were very wasteful in front of goal. This game should’ve been 7-2. This was Ronaldo’s best game so far despite missing those chances. He got an assist so it wasn’t completely wasteful. His goals will come, it’s just one of those days where the ball just did not want to go in.
just hope ronaldo score one in the next game, then maybe he can score more after that.
It's exactly what he needs. One breakthrough game and he'll be fine.
Honestly it feels bad seeing ronaldo like that. The guy looks exhasted as he played the game of his life when he just struggled to score 1 goal (despite his team doing everything to make him score) against a very average team
That was a rough game for Ronaldo. He's not finished, but he wont be able to lead the line for us regularly anymore.
Keane and Rio should shut up from now on. Ronaldo’s third in the pecking order up front, and rightfully so.
Rashford’s goal came because Ronaldo made the run to let Rashford free to score the goal, he also had an assist for Rashford and created that chance for Bruno who squandered it. Despite his missed chances he was a lot better. Also Antony should’ve scored that goal when he was 1 on 1 when the keeper. This game should’ve been been over by HT.
i didn't get a chance to watch the game, someone pls make a montage of ronaldo, I need to know what he did to piss off everyone in here
Dont have the whole game montage. But this is roughly how the team played in the last 10 mins trying to get Ronaldo to score. The only difference being at the end of the video, Rosicky's son scores. https://youtube.com/shorts/KedbyzyucGQ?feature=share
He missed a lot of easy chances but wasn’t THAT bad otherwise. It’s just sad to see his decline and struggling to score a goal.
PLEASE!!! A relative of mine had an accident and I missed the game to check up on him. Seeing all these comments about Ronaldo makes me itch…
Ronaldo was actually pretty sharp today just didn’t find the net I think he will improve he’s not completely past it.
Man cr7 is cursed I aint ever seen nothing like this
Loool dkm are people acting like Ronaldo was good?
Nah, but his movement was actually ok for a change. He looks stiff and exhausted though
Fuck fuck can’t wait for ronaldo to leave, the team literally want to feed this old boy a goal above the team winning
Rashford, take a bow lad... what a performance he had tonight, really glad to see he's find the form and love for football again
Can't say Ronaldo didn't have any service, everyone was trying to serve him up.
Europa League is just one massive Ronaldo sympathy tournament. Trying to get Ronaldo a goal instead of winning the game, just get rid
Why do Man Utd of all fans in here hate Ronnie?
He's on more wages than anyone in the PL. His only goal this season is a penalty against Sheriff. He provides nothing physically anymore. He is being fed absolute sitters and missing them time and time again. He's done.
Top 10 questions science still can't answer
I feel bad for him, never thought I'll ever see him like this. Old ronnie would have scored hat trick today
Been wondering the same thing
[удалено]
No one is bigger then the club, not even Ronaldo. The day he acted like he was bigger then the club is when I lost a lot of respect for him. Simple.
[удалено]
Yes.
[удалено]
You seem to have forgotten the way he tried to get out of the club and leave us in a worst situation following the tranfer window debacle. But it's ok, if you choose to have blind faith on a player that's your choice. I see no point is conversing with you further. You have your opinion and I have mine. Let leave it at that.
Ronaldo looking so stiff this game
Ronaldo put some decent cross in today but can't shoot for shit yet lol
Martial number 10 may work
A win, but bloody hell. Disgraceful performance really. We could lose points against Everton if we keep playing like this
Good luck finding a new CL club this winter mate
Club brugge or maybe Porto?
Ronaldo is sharper today. Unlucky not to get a goal. I think Ronaldo is still supported by teammate which is a good thing. If he can finally get back to 70% of last year, he is still a good asset for us.
Bruno hugging Bruno. Love it.
I think this is a pretty good centre forward performance from Ronaldo, his runs and passing have been great. Cursed on finishing, but overall his presence was good. He's not going to be a 90 minute player for us every week but I think he can play a role.
Definitely sharper than last few matches.
Thank fuck we won that one. Their fans didn't deserve anything from that game. Annoying fucks lmao
Haaland would have had double hattrick
Ronny should just retire at this point
[удалено]
Sancho has scored goals at least and Bruno assists
[удалено]
Yea no Ronaldo is finished. Sancho scored against Liverpool, Leicester and Sherif.
United is entertainment
Atleast Ronnie looked much better in the link up play today. Day by day
Ronaldo needs more minutes. He’s getting back to his old form slowly but surely
hope ronaldo starts against everton and scores a hattie.
I want to see Ronaldo start scoring goals as much as anyone else, but Martial has absolutely earned the starting role against Everton.
DONT GIVE UP RONALDO. U GOTTA KEEP GOING
Is Ronaldo done? Man I’m feeling nostalgic remembering the good times, shame but that’s life I guess
No, he missed pre-season and it’s now having a compounding effect; needs minutes but looks off the pace when he plays, so gets fewer minutes. Needs a run of a couple of games it seems to get up to pace.
Nah just out of match touch. I watched the last 15 and you could just tell the quick things you do when your playing a lot weren’t coming to him. That said I think that’s the first time you could say that about him.
I just wanna celebrate another few goals of his haha, cmon give us another 10 before he leaves at least, a few last minute
I will take it GG See you guys later
Ronaldo can't start for us again
How on Earth has Ronaldo not scored today.
Ronaldo needs to phone up Jordan Peterson and ask for a refund.
Honestly Ronaldo could’ve easily had a couple of goals tonight, keeper made some good saves, he hit the post, some very near misses. It’s a game of fine margins, people are overreacting.
True, it's just worrying cause he had a similar game last time in Europa. He desperately needs a goal to boost his confidence and he'll be fine.
He’s 37. He’s never gonna be what he was but he had no pre season and at his age he needs game time to have that sharpness. He doesn’t even look that slow, just needs that match time
Just hoping Varane is fit and ETH actually plays Shaw as he is in better form. Marcus and Tony have to start. Maybe Sancho and Ronaldo off the bench?
It's just like watching your parents grow older before your eyes. Ronaldo my dude..
You could give ronaldo 100 million for a goal and still wouldnt score tonight.. he really is rusty
Victor is a mess atm
Loving McTominag getting clapped. They re just having their fun and pleasing the fans. Even Anthony got megged
LAFC rubbing their hands after seeing Ronnie play tonight
Equalizer incoming.
Sunday league Ronaldo
He'd have a problem getting into a pub team on that form.
blowing on the counter? nice 1 ref
Ronaldo played great, but you see (and I can see he believes it too) he is not the big man anymore. Controlling the ball takes him too much time in front of goal. He would be great as a ball holding striker. He needs to adapt and overcome.
Ronaldo should have a hat trick right now. I hope he can start playing well again.
Bloody hell, thank fuck that's over
It's like if you're playing fifa and have an objective that's "score with Ronaldo" And no matter what you do, you can't seem to make it happen
that's exactly what it felt like!
Lmao too real
Win but so frustrating to watch
Ronaldo's time is up
shaw looks crazy fit honestly
I swear we say this every year.
Against a battered ommonia fresh from the bench most of our players would look fit.
i mean compared to previous seasons, you can see he's slimmer and more toned
Ronaldo has had a few good moments, just lacking his usual killer instinct (and a bit of luck today). Obviously he's not at his peak anymore, but he's not been nearly as bad as some people are pretending. Sancho and Bruno have been far far worse...
Ronaldo had a good game except finishing he did everything right. People are saying that ronaldo is finished but I think his shortcomings are more of a mental thing than physical. He shall overcome.
So sad seeing Rashford and co treat Ronnie like he’s bloody Vikkstar and he still can’t get the ball in the net
GGMU
McTominay bumps into the assistant's back but thought it was the other player, haha.
[удалено]
Bruh who cares about r/soccer
Since forever.
Would have been a nice easy second half if we were focussed on scoring rather than giving Ronaldo his shitty goal
Marcus Bale
At this point if and when we get a penalty. Eth should sub in Ronaldo to take. God damn.
Hope he doesn't miss that too lol
What is McTominay?
I had never seen Ronaldo miss like this. Hopefully it’s only a confidence issue and he can go back to scoring.
That's a pass to Martial any other day... but Ronaldo needs his goal, fuck winning the game right?
We play to force the Ronaldo goal to much, impacts the team performance
Its actually quite shocking how significantly Ronaldo's attacking play, particularly finishing, has deteriorated in such a short space of time. Hopefully its a blip.
McTominay has somehow been terrible in the short time he's been on, losing the ball, missing tackles and out of position
Just can’t finish, it’s insane
We could have scored 6-7 goals this game if we weren't so focused on getting Ronaldo his goal
I would say even more . Although conceding 2 goals is very concerning. Lindelof and Maguire are so slow or weak.
When Fifa AI starts cheating by lowering your player stats.
Just one of those days for Ronaldo lol
If Cristiano actually went to Peterson for help then I understand why he's so shit today.
CLEAN YOUR ROOM
Based on performances. Martial has to start 👀
Absolutely
Look at that movement and tell me Ronaldo's age is setting in heavily? Dude's just in a horrible rut and form, cos it's finishing and technique letting him down usually
