Time to start deploying this dynamic duo from start. No brainer imo.
Maybe ole didn’t see the first oneIsn't there already a thread?
Maybe if we keep saying it he will eventually concede and play both of them together. Maybe a 3-5-2 sometimes.Isn't there already a thread?
We would lose every game with this line-up. This would only work with a 352 and even that is iffy.Back to the 90’s we go 442

Without looking it up, I would imagine we spend at least 40% of every match without the ball. Probably closer to 50% most of the time.More like this I think
Not enough pace. They have to play alongside another attacker to make it work. It only works with Ronaldo on the left.Wonder if we'll see a diamond from Ole that we saw at times last season and the season before? This would obviously allow the two to play together without really sacrificing anything defensively.

Benzema wasn't exactly Usain Bolt when playing next to Ronaldo at Madrid in a 442 diamond.Not enough pace. They have to play alongside another attacker to make it work. It only works with Ronaldo on the left.
Only because they'd be picking it out of the next every 5 minutes, right?Without looking it up, I would imagine we spend at least 40% of every match without the ball. Probably closer to 50% most of the time.
That’s irrelevant when Ronaldo was 10 years younger and had far more overall pace and mobility.Benzema wasn't exactly Usain Bolt when playing next to Ronaldo at Madrid in a 442 diamond.
It was literally 3 years ago but whatever makes you happy.That’s irrelevant when Ronaldo was 10 years younger and had far more overall pace and mobility.
Pace isn’t an issue. Ronaldo is still one of the faster forwards in the league. Energy is more of a concern.Not enough pace. They have to play alongside another attacker to make it work. It only works with Ronaldo on the left.
Did you see his goal vs Newcastle? As you said, he still has that explosive pace over 10-15 yards.Pace isn’t an issue. Ronaldo is still one of the faster forwards in the league. Energy is more of a concern.
I think it’s abit of both. Cavani brings energy and Ronaldo brings good bursts but someone like Greenwood or Rashford bring a hell of a lot more dynamism at the moment. I’d still prefer to pair Ronaldo and Cavani with one of the other attackers.Pace isn’t an issue. Ronaldo is still one of the faster forwards in the league. Energy is more of a concern.
That’s different to relentless threat in behind all game or overall intensity.Did you see his goal vs Newcastle? As you said, he still has that explosive pace over 10-15 yards.
