Haha I was autocorrected. Maybe Ronaldo—> InvincibleFrom being subbed.

I agree with Neville here. Now isn’t the time to throw your hands up, it’ll never be a solution.That Ronaldo and Bruno as the best and most experienced players in the side are far too negative and constantly complain and whinge which is having an adverse affect on the younger players in the side. Also said he’s not happy with the fact that Ronaldo consistently runs off the pitch straight after the game
this. The whole vibe is different since he has come back, he brings a lot of pressure. He isn’t the guy who will put his arm around the youth, he wants wins and he wants records. He isn’t sentimentalSadly, his introduction has massively harmed team cohesion and it also appears team harmony. It’s cost Ole his job and I just hope RR can see it before our season is totally ruined
Lots of people coming hard on Ronaldo but I thought service to him was poor today.Shot ourselves in the foot bringing him back. Just a really stupid last minute panic buy brought on by City's interest. Pathetic really. Hopefully he decides to clear off in the summer, because he'll create all sort of problems for the next manager as well given his ego and status.
Good. We need winners not babysitters.this. The whole vibe is different since he has come back, he brings a lot of pressure. He isn’t the guy who will put his arm around the youth, he wants wins and he wants records. He isn’t sentimental
winners yes but disruptive no.Good. We need winners not babysitters.
His general play has been terrible this season, despite his goals. We're playing with 10 men with him on the pitch as he doesn't contribute at all, and often loses the ball.Lots of people coming hard on Ronaldo but I thought service to him was poor today.
Yup, nothing wrong with him, totally normal behaviour from a player without any issues.Absolutely nothing wrong with him. Service and peers are abysmal.

It's been like this all season, we need to get rid for the team to progress.One of the worst players on the pitch tonight. Completely useless (and detrimental to team play) when he's not scoring.
I think there needs to be more accountability and he should be subbed or benched for matches when he's performing like this. Especially when Cavani is fit, who I think is much better for the way we want to play.It's been like this all season, we need to get rid for the team to progress.
That's a red, and how weak is Telles there? We have problems in this squadYup, nothing wrong with him, totally normal behaviour from a player without any issues.

Seems like internal political pressure at the club. I remember when Rooney and Sanchez got the same treatment after they both sharply declined. I think Rangknick's hands are tied but I hope notStarting to wonder if he has a clause in his contract guaranteeing minutes. How badly does he need to play to get the hook?!?
Even if you ignore the performances, think about his age! Give his aged limbs a rest ffs. He could be a great impact player off the bench. Bizarre he’s not yet been used that way.Seems like internal political pressure at the club. I remember when Rooney and Sanchez got the same treatment after they both sharply declined.

It’s worrying what this signing seems to be doing in terms of morale amongst the players. Ronaldo’s obviously a legend and I was ecstatic when we signed him but it seems that everything is set up to get the best out of him at the detriment of everyone else.Starting to wonder if he has a clause in his contract guaranteeing minutes. How badly does he need to play to get the hook?!?
I don't see how anyone could use Ronaldo as an impact player off the bench unless it's very occasional. I just don't think Ronaldo is ready to admit that it could be his role and it create a lot of turmoil.Even if you ignore the performances, think about his age! Give his aged limbs a rest ffs. He could be a great impact player off the bench. Bizarre he’s not yet been used that way.
In just over a month he’ll be 37 years old. He might not be ready to admit it but tough shit! Time waits for no man!I don't see how anyone could use Ronaldo as an impact player off the bench unless it's very occasional.

Genuinely, how on any planet is that a red card?That's a red, and how weak is Telles there? We have problems in this squad
Carrick had the balls to drop him. Ralf needs to follow suit sharpish. Like Neville said - taking Greenwood off was the easy option.Starting to wonder if he has a clause in his contract guaranteeing minutes. How badly does he need to play to get the hook?!?
Stop hanging around with Liverpool fans on Twitter.Yup, nothing wrong with him, totally normal behaviour from a player without any issues.

I totally agree. Rangknick called Ronaldo 'too old' and too expensive back in 2016 when a journalist cheekily asked if he'd sign him for RB Liepzig. He said it in jest but he's always preferred to work with younger players. This Ronaldo conundrum is a unique situation for him to deal with. For someone who supposedly hasn't ever signed anyone over 24 I can't see how he sees fit to play Ronaldo for 90 minutes every gameEven if you ignore the performances, think about his age! Give his aged limbs a rest ffs. He could be a great impact player off the bench. Bizarre he’s not yet been used that way.
It’s quite obvious that defenders will, by default, mark Ronaldo and an experienced striker like Cavani can capitalize on that more than Rashford and Greenwood. There are ways to solve the team’s issues, it’s yet to be seen if Rangnick is up for the task.His movement isn't great so when he gets tightly marked he struggles to make an impact. It kinda helped though when Cavani came on because it freed up space.
