Fanboying around him is amazing this year. Guy is complete shit, holds whole team down and people still defend him.
Roy Keane said that he is in top 3 players in PL.
As i said earlier; selling him will be like new signing for us

 

[Idxomer]

He is our best striker simply because we don’t have another striker. Martial is always injured and Rashford is not a striker.

Ronaldo himself isn't someone who can play as a lone striker and he has basically started only playing that position after his move to United.

 

[Bobski]

He really shouldn't be starting any more games for Utd. Impact sub, nothing else, then bin him as soon as possible and move on.

When did Keane say this

 

[Ralph1386]

He played as a striker for Juve as well I think. Anyway, we need another striker in January.

 

[Sylar]

We were better with him off the pitch.

When he was on our players kept trying to force it to him. Ruined our flow and attacks

 

[Zen86]

He’s even lost that predatory instinct of his now, which has served him well in later years. Its quite cringe watching our whole team trying to constantly tee him up.

Mad, he is not even a top 3 player at Manchester United.

Keane is a bit of a fanboy.

 

[Mickson]

Genuine question: Is he the worst "starting" striker in the league? I thought about Solanke maybe but he surely is better than Ronaldo?

That guy is done on the mental level

 

[Idxomer]

He played as a striker for Juve.

Juve played with two strikers, he usually had another forward to play off him and he started his share of games on the left.

 

[Zoo]

What is worse, Ronaldo's bad form or the fact he is still our best striker?

He doesn’t even play as a striker. Just a hindrance to the whole club.

Genuine answer: no.

 

[Mickson]

Genuine answer: no.

Who is Ronaldo better than?

 

[The Corinthian]

Like playing with a man down when he's on.

 

[bosnian_red]

What is worse, Ronaldo's bad form or the fact he is still our best striker?

Best striker ffs
He's fecking garbage these days, and we are a miles better team with Rashford out there, while Martial is clearly our #1 striker but unfortunately is always injured. Martial is the only player in our squad who is an actual striker anyway. Even Ronaldo at his best wasn't a great striker anyway. These days, he's fecking useless and I'd rather play Elanga up top.

 

[Josh 76]

The guy played 70 mins last Sunday evening, then he played full game on Thursday. He then played 70 mins today and makes a fecking scene coming off. Even peak Ronaldo would have been rested more. This guy is toxic and needs to get the feck out of here!

 

[Andycoleno9]

That is what fanboys do. It is shame when you see pundits (who you respect) go in that zone.
I love Rio and Roy but they are truly pathetic regarding Ronaldo. Absolutely pathetic.

 

[bosnian_red]

He wouldn't improve a single club in the league as a starter IMO

Rio has always been cringe

 

[Pickle85]

Who is Ronaldo better than?

Either of Southampton's top two, Antonio, Bamford, and whichever player Forest decide to play. At worst.

 

[Djemba-Djemba]

He's just completely immobile.

It's like having Rooney from 2015-2017 back again.

 

[HookedOnAPhelan]

His physical decline is obvious. He's clearly lost a yard of pace, and that makes all the difference in many situations unfortunately. And when he doesn't score he's pretty much useless and a liability.

 

[Andycoleno9]

Genuine question: Is he the worst "starting" striker in the league? I thought about Solanke maybe but he surely is better than Ronaldo?

I would take Solanke any day over him. And that is not overreaction.
Seriously, what Diva no7 offers at this moment?
He is not helping in defence, he offers nothing in build up play, puts pressure on teammates with "pass the ball to me" and he is not scoring goals or assisting. We would be better with nobody on no9 than him.

 

[bosnian_red]

Not a chance! They all get more shots off per game than Ronaldo does in less dominant teams, work harder, are better at hold up play and offer a bigger threat in behind.

 

[King7Eric]

He really shouldn't be starting any more games for Utd. Impact sub, nothing else, then bin him as soon as possible and move on.

I'm amazed how ETH ( and RR to some extent) don't get this basic aspect of man managing someone of his stature.

If you bring him off with 20 mins to go with scores tied, you are asking for all kinds of headlines. Even though he's a shadow of his former self he is still idolized by his teammates, seeing him come off will demoralize them, as it will OT, who for the most part still worship him.

It's so much easier not to start him and bring him on as a sub. Just remove this complication. It's basic management.

 

[MrEleson]

He was poor but he won't do anything in this kind of set-up. He needs chances somewhat on a plate which can only happen at a handful of clubs. Best just to part ways as soon as possible.

 

[Pexbo]

Can’t help but think the dressing room would be liberated without him at this point. Regardless of whether he’s a nice guy, professional and smiles and laughs when the club photographer is doing laps of the training facilities

 

[Red_Aaron]

You need either 10 WC players or to exist in a one sided league to carry this guy

No strength, no pace, no defensive effort, limited passing with inconsistent touch and finishing. Zero running

He undoubtedly knows what he should be doing but either he physically can't or is arrogantly refusing too.

Worst of all the players defer to him when he's on the pitch which stifles us - it's no accident we improved massively when he went off

 

[Pickle85]

Not a chance! They all get more shots off per game than Ronaldo does in less dominant teams, work harder, are better at hold up play and offer a bigger threat in behind.

I'm sorry, but if you think that Che Adams, Antonio or Patrick fecking Bamford are better number nines than Ronaldo right now then I don't know what to say to you.

 

[Harry190]

He stays too far wide.

 

[Abraxas]

It's just becoming more and more evident with each passing game that a recovery of sorts is unlikely. Maybe the odd goal but that's it. He's just gone. I don't see a lack of trying, I just see an old body playing in the most competitive league in the world.

 

[Djemba-Djemba]

I'm sorry, but if you think that Che Adams, Antonio or Patrick fecking Bamford are better number nines than Ronaldo right now then I don't know what to say to you.

From West Ham?

He'd be better for us now than Ronaldo is. Absolutely.

 

[Pickle85]

From West Ham?

He'd be better for us now than Ronaldo is. Absolutely.

He's awful. Absolutely awful. Maybe you're swayed by the purple patch of four games or so he has once a season but he's legitimately dreadful.

 

[Luka Mora]

Why should the manager have to tip toe around a washed up 38 year old and live in fear he might upset his fanboys and fellow teammates who are in awe of him.

Ten Hag needs to tell the likes of Bruno and antony that their one and only job isn't to serve Ronaldo and get upset if he gets subbed if that's the case.

 

[redcucumber]

He is our best striker simply because we don’t have another striker. Martial is always injured and Rashford is not a striker.

And yet Rashford was far more impactful up top today than Ronaldo.

 

[Abraxas]

I'd definitely take Antonio right now.

Average at best with poor technique but he's a physical monster. Have him running channels, punching a few holes in the opposition defence. Would give our attackers some space to operate in. Ronaldo is offering very little unless we put something on a plate, at which point he may or may not score as he doesn't look quite as clinical either.

 

[bosnian_red]

I'm sorry, but if you think that Che Adams, Antonio or Patrick fecking Bamford are better number nines than Ronaldo right now then I don't know what to say to you.

They are. What the feck does Ronaldo do on the pitch these days? Don't look at the past. Look at his performance now. He can't get shots off. He is slow. He can't make runs in behind. He is weak. He is lazy and a complete 0 defensively. He gives it away constantly. He can't dribble. He complains all day, and has the nerve to shake his head and laugh at the decision to sub him off after he was a fecking charity winner on the pitch for 70 minutes and out of his depth.

Don't kid yourself. Ronaldo is fecking finished as a footballer.

 

[Andre Kagawa]

Finished.
