The most important thing in England for a striker is to press high and run 14 km/game
Without this all the other attributes are useless

Meh, bollocks. Look how happy he is on that bench.
Dropped...but replaced with Rashford? Not sure what message that sends. Drop him for Martial at least!
For him to shut the feck up, and he isn't getting a transfer.
Oh uh...anyway
Fully agree. Rashford was also shit, to the same extent, hence message in not clear. Martial wasn’t shit (as he didn’t play)
Don't disagree with the decision to bench him, but I think he comes off the bench at halftime
Totally blanked carra there
Hopefully the end of him as a starter.. even if we cant find someone to take him off us, the bench is where he belongs
The blanking of Carra 
Doesn't seem to be throwing a strop there

Did you hear that exchange with Roy? Certainly doesn’t help the manager.
Can you elaborate on that? An exchange between Ronaldo and Roy Keane?

and this circus is why he needs to leave asap. Never have we had a fanbase so shameless about opposing managers for treating their boy like everybody else.
Martial isn’t fit enough to start
What was said?
Yeah what is this?
Also, i’m a huge Ronaldo fan. But if this manager thinks for this game its right not to start him, I’m backing ETH. Ronnie doesn’t have the legs he used to and this liverpool team run you to the ground so tactically, it sort of makes sense. Lets hope it works.
Came to the sidelines to say hi to the people he knew.... Gary and Roy. Roy looked a bit humbled by it too, not good for his image that the most famous man on the planet is hugging him out of the blue

I hate this world we live where we’ve now got fans of players, who seem to hold an unhealthy parasocial relationship with certain players. What happens to these weirdos when they retire?
And yeah, Piers Morgan trying to keep his relationship up with Ronaldo for them exclusive interviews

They find a new host
That's great from Ronaldo.
Brilliant!
Ok there is absolutely nothing wrong with what he said, how is that undermining the manager? Stupid hyperbole around Ronaldo. Not surprising.
I thought he was Arsenal fan? If Ronaldo is so great and dropped he should be happy? Dissonant cnut.
Ronaldo's fans: Ronaldo's pressing isn't an issue
Ten Hag: I didn't choose Ronaldo because we need to press tonight

ETH's pre-match comments on Ronnie was pretty damning. When asked why Ronaldo isn't playing, he said that Liverpool are a good team in possession and without it so we need to be able to press Liverpool and attack fast during the transition.
I wonder if it's his sister
I also think is a bad decision. It removes any remote threat of a goal so Liverpool will concentrate just on the offensive although at the same time a defeat is expected even with Ronaldo playing as a starter. If the game is still even by the second time then he could be useful coming from the bench but if United is already losing by 3 goals then there would be no point in him coming in.
This aged well
Would be interesting to see whether he plays the second half or not.
Unsurprisingly we actually look like a football team that have an attack when he isn't playing.
turns out Erik ten Hag understands football better than Piers Morgan. Who'd have thought?
Great decision from ETH dropping both CR and Maguire. Showing early doors who's boss.
