No you can't post that here, what are you thinking? Making Ronaldo look good when 90% of the Caf have said he was sh!te? Tut tut
Who looks at that video and thinks that It was a good performance? What does he do in it that makes you think that he is worth having in there? Or look at it another way....if that were a performance by Athleticos striker - would we say “fuk me” let’s get him this summer? Not in the slightest.
A few decent first time passes very far from goal. In the last 5 or so games he has started to drop deep because anytime he looks for the ball further up he is hassled of it and it’s embarrassing. What good is linking play so deep? He is our striker for God sake. It was a performance that was entirely in line with the teams performance- blunt. He is getting paid more then any other player, has more experience and is being played in the only position on the pitch which is required by default to pose some sort of goal threat. He didn’t. He was a central part of us playing in front of Atheltico for 90 minutes. If we can’t look to our striker to provide some sort of goal threat our outlet to get us up the field- who do we look to? Take off the name from his shirt and look at that performance again- it’s tame at best.
The video is also cut from his entire touches video which shows him lose the ball while we are on a genuine threatening break, lash a tame shot 5 years wide, misplace a simple lay off to Pogba and smack a free kick over the bar.
the problem with these videos is that they don’t show the context. For example, Correa on the the other side was in fact a constant problem for us but posed little goal threat. Ronaldo was shite in the sense that the majority of his touches were in parts of the pitch that didn’t really matter. Literally any striker can drop deep to get more touches of the ball. Does it help the team? Who is posing our goal threat?
It’s not anything against Ronaldo personally...it’s the fact that he adds nothing. but sure what choice have we got till next season?
