If Ronaldo played like Cavani did tonight he would get massive criticism. But whatever agendas again..
besides Cavani will get an injury soon as sadly he can't stay fit or psychologically is a problem..
Rashford needs the most dropping but you've dropped Ronaldo..
Cavani needs to improve but at least the man runs his ass off.
Ronaldo is a legend, but he is more harm than good right now. He can't deal with the pace of the game right now, he provides nothing off of the ball and on it he was providing exceedingly little. So many attacks just break down at his feet because he just tries some random flick. He's not a striker. He's not a winger. He's a passenger outside of the box. Considering we barely get in the box as a team.... It's just dumb to use him as a regular.
And yes, IMO right now at least, every player in our team who is most liable for cheap giveaways and don't do their bit defensively needs to be dropped. Ronaldo is guilty of both. Rashford has been guilty of both lately. We need to get back to basics and look after the ball responsibly, we need to make better decisions on the ball, we need fewer dumb mistakes, and most of all we need the full team to be fully committed to win the game and have the work rate to match. Ronaldo just can't do that right now at his age, but he has his uses as a squad player for sure. Maybe once we actually start playing like a coherent team again there will be a bigger use for Ronaldo, but until then, he is making things worse.
