He's a busted flush. Not even an average player anymore, unfortunately

Finished.
So, what are our options with him?
We are carrying him. Needs to be dropped as it’s killing our overall game. We are also shit at set pieces and crosses so his worth in and around the 6-18 yard box (where he could be decent) is not going to happen anyway
I think he's finished in the sense of being an all round player. He's just a poacher now but the style we implement needs more than that.
Oh, I still remember how people here called me 'a troll', 'brainless', 'stupid', for saying that signing Ronaldo was a mistake and that he doesn't fit the team. How the times are changing. Awful footballer 2022, not even sure he is a good goalscorer anymore.
Today was a perfect example of how he just cannot be the main main for a top side anymore.
The 2 strikers for Southampton were constant threats, always running and always working. The ball stuck with them and helped them build.
Ronaldo just does nothing. He gets on the end of the odd pass but you can't even rely on him to finish anymore. It's sad to see.
We really are in trouble again aren't we? We've been suckered into another expensive deal that we're stuck with.

Hope/pray him and Mendes force the move this summer?
3/10 performance from him. He was the goat but he needs a break now. If he strops then so be it.
Rangnick already knows Ronaldo needs replacing. He spoke just yesterday about looking at young strikers in the summer. We're in a bad situation right now. He's too big a name to completely jettison from the side, but he's struggling so much that he needs dropping.
We played with 10 men for 90 mins because ronaldo was nonexistent.
Cant hold the ball or run with it and someone has nicked his scoring boots aswell.

That was his gary neville vs wolves moment
Can't play sole CF. Never did across his career, not going to learn it at 37.
He was never the GOAT, let's be serious. How can the greatest player of all time have an awful first touch?
My biggest worry isn’t even him being ineffective on the right. It’s his lack of effort, he doesn’t track back, he doesn’t press. That Southampton goal started with hi leaving their left back acres.
He’s playing like someone who doesn’t give a feck. I don’t see him moaning, fighting, arguing. He just sulks.
I think the stress of playing in this side has aged him 10 years! Doesn't look a fraction of the player he was at the start of the season. Sad to see, but best for everyone if he moves on to an easier environment.
I really didn't think Martial had a future of the club, but right now, yeah the team misses him because Ronaldo and Cavani are not it.
Please release him from his contract
Stop making it about you.
The difference is he already has played about 3 years worth of minutes more than Ibra at 40 without ever taking a break.
Just in a bad vein of form, will come good 
. People have often called him finished before and then he scores a hat-trick in the CL final.

Nobody called him finished. People said when he started declining and changing into a poached, but now he's lost the poaching. Now he's actually done. Bad vein of form... The guy is finished. He literally can't do anything useful on the pitch.
Ronaldo junior would be a greater threat.
I wish he never came back. Sad to see a legend play like this. It's like when Ric Flair came back to wrestling way after his prime.
People are knee jerk and quick to jump the gun

.I find it funny tv commentators just ignore him.
Impressive first half of the season but he's clearly struggling in 2022 so far. Should start vs Atletico in CL and only some games in the league, manage his minutes and hopefully he improves. Scoring a goal might help for a start.
He is gassed out. He could do it easy in Italy but the tempo here is too much for him it's dead obvious. When he arrived he was superb, scoring in nearly every game but as the season has progressed he's fallen off a cliff. Even when he gets decent chanes now he just wastes them.
He's 37 and can't control a ball anymore. He hasn't offered anything off the ball defensively for years but his attacking influence outweighed that or at least balanced that. Now? No link up. No hold up. No runs. No dribbling. Ruining the play every time he gets the ball. Can't get shots off.People are knee jerk and quick to jump the gun
He's done. He's 37, it was coming, but let's not pretend like he is going to click all of a sudden. He can't cut it in the Premier League any more. Going to cringe so hard when he scores a random tap in or penalty and does his dumb celebration too.
It’s a dip in form. But it’s also true that Ronaldo has to be better managed. He’s just not capable of 90 minutes back to back any longer.
Next season?
- Play him because of his status at the cost of our results/performances.
- Buy a proper PL level forward and he accepts a back up role.
- Pay him off to go somewhere else like Sanchez.
First one most likely.
It cannot be said he hasn't had good chances tbh.
Zlatan will be the same in the PL as we saw in his last year. Ronaldo would look better back in Italy as well.
Imagine thinking he will still be here. I'd be astonished if he was. He's done. The PL is too quick for him now at 37.
Final season Rooney vibes.
I don't see how we can get rid without it costing millions.
He won’t stick around to sit on the bench.
Sad to see the ball go into him and his only option being to collapse to the floor hoping for a free-kick over and over again. Football is a brutal game, same thing happened to Rooney at 33. One minute you're the strongest, fastest player on the pitch, the next you don't know where you're going to get whacked from next and the minute that happens, your touch and technique goes too because you feel so vulnerable
