Yup it's Ronaldos fault our attacking players can't make a 5 meter pass.We won’t improve until Ronaldo is out the team.

Wait really ? What's the source of this ? I'm actually asking seriously, not joking. Want to know.Most interesting thing about the last hour: GTA V is still getting new DLC.
To be fair it’s more like 1 in midfield as the partner is rarely there to make an offer or back the other one up.We can’t keep playing a 2 man midfield in modern day football
This makes no sense
I thought this guy was was tactical genius
Can people stop blaming our midfielders, we can’t keep playing 2 against 4 in midfield
The only rationale for using the system is that he has used it before. Doesn't exactly say much for his tactical flexibility. You would expect a competent director of football type figure to think about whether an interim manager could quickly implement a system that wod suit our players before appointing themIt's bizarre, we don't get the benefits of the 4-2-2-2 in winning possession back more quickly and we suffer all the negatives of being so narrow and crowded out with this narrow system. Not happy that we have kept this formation for so many games now when it's clearly not working in the final 3rd.
it’s the formation to start. Who is creating play? Who on this pitch knows how to do that? We are so random, disgustingDifficult to put your finger on what it is. No confidence? Poor attitude? It’s obviously a talented team which only serves to magnify just how dysfunctional it is.
The absolute basics that even teams trying to stay in the league have, are missing.
wonder how long RR will try sticking to ityeah it doesn’t work in this league, the reason NO other teams do it
Yeah we were spoiltFind a pass midfield.
Sancho pisses me off, all those years watching Giggs and Beckham get up and down the wings, start attacks from deep, and do it in the final 3rd and so many of these modern wide forwards only want to play in the final 3rd.
This was Ole’s downfall.wow, it’s literally non existent
He’s dropped Bruno and now Fred. But the lack of dropping Maguire or rotating Ronaldo concerns me. Ronaldo isn’t as super human as he thinks and at 36 he has to be rotated to get the best out of him.In what sense? He sure knows how to talk a big game but the lack of common sense in his squad selection in terms of lack of complementing profiles suggest he’s as good as his CV suggests. Which isn’t great.
It’s more common sense than that - it’s a crop of talented players who just can’t play well together. Cavani and Ronaldo will never fit as a front 2. Fernandes cannot work as a wide attacking midfielder with two strikers ahead of him. Rashford isn’t a no.9. Sancho is a link-up player but the central midfield and the strikers aren’t players who are renowned for give-and-gos. Two fullbacks who are expected to play very high when neither are particularly good with their delivery.Difficult to put your finger on what it is. No confidence? Poor attitude? It’s obviously a talented team which only serves to magnify just how dysfunctional it is.

I can only speculate that maybe his attitude sucks? I dunno. Can't think of another explanationOn a side note what has Donny done to never get played??
This is what I midfield produces. For all the talk of Scott being good last game this tonight is what happens FAR too often when we have him and players like Matic on the pitch.Tweet

That's just sad.Literally!
I'm use to it now, don't expect anything lessLet's be honest, only one team has shown up today. Disappointing.
He's been decent to be fair.Easily one of the few players who actually played well that half.
We done this under ole as well. I said it then and I'll say it now. Why can't the coaching staff see this. It's impossible got the defense and midfield to find a pass and easy to defend.
We need mobile players. We are mid table team at best right now we aren’t capable of carrying him and hoping he can do something.Yup it's Ronaldos fault our attacking players can't make a 5 meter pass.
He's been our best attacking player first half.We won’t improve until Ronaldo is out the team.
We were pretty bad before Ronaldo joined the team.We won’t improve until Ronaldo is out the team.
Barely been 2 months.Ragnick has been all talk so far. We've just been a bit more structured that we were under Ole and that's it but we are still shite.
Mouth Ragnick.
I agree. The basic footballing skills of our players leaves a lot to be desired. So many misplaced passes, under-hit passes, over-hit passes, poor decision making, slowness when getting back, slowness when moving up the pitch, etc.442, 4231, 433, 532 does it really matter if no one can pass a ball? The formation may not help, but we should look way better either way
At this point we can't keep blaming the lack of this or lack of that, we know what we are and we know what we have, play a system that works with what you have.Ralf's football seems reliant on very mobile, good ball playing midfielders and attackers who can press all game long.
We are pretty much devoid of any player who can do that.
He's done more pressing than any of the other forward players.We need mobile players. We are mid table team at best right now we aren’t capable of carrying him and hoping he can do something.
he needs to change the way he sets his team then!Ralf's football seems reliant on very mobile, good ball playing midfielders and attackers who can press all game long.
We are pretty much devoid of any player who can do that.
They were horrific crosses. Three feet over his head.Neither of those crosses were bad. He had one target there in Ronaldo and he almost hit him
Jesus wept. i knew there was a reason I stayed away from the dumpster truck of a thread that is the matchday thread.Ragnick is going to need to understand that we cannot play this system with this midfield and the lack of desire this team play with. If he doesn’t I’m going to start thinking he’s an idiot.
