No creativity in midfield and being forced to come deep and try things on his own. He and Kane did wonders last season to score what they didI think Ronaldo could see what was coming with Juve.
He’s got CR7 shaved into his dome. FfsI saw this lad outside the player's entrance about 30 minutes before KO too.
Had his sign too!
Here he is again. 45 seconds in.
That really showed he is just a fanboy and not much else.I'm surprised they're not doing miles better since they got rid of the worst signing in history, according to Guardian journalist and tactical expert Jonathan Wilson.
It's almost like... he was talking out of his fecking arse.
Same. It’s unusual to see any mental weakness in Cristiano, but then it’s not a weakness because he just eats up the pressure and delivers, always, like an absolute boss.I was slightly taken aback when Ronaldo said he was super nervous about the game today despite everything he's done in football. That was a really telling comment. The ABU saltiness is just simply glorious. Today could not have gone any better.
Casually on my way to SIIIIIIIIIIIIU

Dare I say, all Guardian writers are hacks. I don't think there's anybody here who takes it seriousky.I'm surprised they're not doing miles better since they got rid of the worst signing in history, according to Guardian journalist and tactical expert Jonathan Wilson.

What was the stadium like today? As good an atmosphere as expected?Same. It’s unusual to see any mental weakness in Cristiano, but then it’s not a weakness because he just eats up the pressure and delivers, always, like an absolute boss.
Unreal to see him in the red shirt again today. He rose to the occasion.
I was watching it on TV and I don’t think I’ve ever heard a football game that loud for the WHOLE game at Old Trafford and I’ve been watching them on tv for close to 25 years. I wouldn’t be surprised if they cause a mini mini earthquake like the one that was caused in Seattle by fans during an NFL game.What was the stadium like today? As good an atmosphere as expected?

The atmosphere was absolutely electric. I’ve never seen the stadium collectively in such awe of a player and in such expectation. The explosion of noise for each of the goals was incredible. Something I really didn’t want to miss.I was watching it on TV and I don’t think I’ve ever heard a football game that loud for the WHOLE game at Old Trafford and I’ve been watching them on tv for close to 25 years.

I was also surprised by this admission. It was a nice human moment.I was slightly taken aback when Ronaldo said he was super nervous about the game today despite everything he's done in football.

I heard one sung a few times coming across on the TV today, a play on "This is how it feels to be City / this is how it feels to be small" with the twist being "you signed ______ we signed Cristiano, Cristianooo" which I thought was clever, but I couldn't make out who the name of the City player was, I am guessing Grealish?We need to come up with a new chant for him. I know he has two so far but another one would be nice. How do these lyrics come about anyway? Like who is responsible?
Remember when he was on the way out to Madrid his Mam was publicly saying it’s his dream to move and we should let him go. She was the original pogba brother!
I'm sure I also heard them singing "Come to see Ronaldo. You only come to see Ronaldo...." which also works.I heard one sung a few times coming across on the TV today, a play on "This is how it feels to be City / this is how it feels to be small" with the twist being "you signed ______ we signed Cristiano, Cristianooo" which I thought was clever, but I couldn't make out who the name of the City player was, I am guessing Grealish?
Deadly!
I. Think it's as simple as the first goal was an easy tap in so he smiled about it. 2nd goal took some skillThe switch in energy and passion for his second celebration was amazing. His first goal celebration was just a smile, as if there's no real intent or desire. It was as if he's accomplished everything and that it was just a nice moment.
Second goal comes and the angry look, the desire and fire within, the absolute dedication and hunger. That was Ronaldo wanting to prove something.
On the topic of songs, I personally love the "he plays on the left, he plays on the right" song. Brings back all the memories. Did we come up with that post Euro 2004, because that "makes England look shite" line was spot on.I heard one sung a few times coming across on the TV today, a play on "This is how it feels to be City / this is how it feels to be small" with the twist being "you signed ______ we signed Cristiano, Cristianooo" which I thought was clever, but I couldn't make out who the name of the City player was, I am guessing Grealish?
It’s probably just a variation on this:I heard one sung a few times coming across on the TV today, a play on "This is how it feels to be City / this is how it feels to be small" with the twist being "you signed ______ we signed Cristiano, Cristianooo" which I thought was clever, but I couldn't make out who the name of the City player was, I am guessing Grealish?
Camera man is literally pushing VDB away for the shot. Just shows how ingrained they are since a bigger deal isn’t being made if itDeadly!
And to think there were reputable pundits and journalists who were saying he made them worseI think Ronaldo could see what was coming with Juve.
He should stick to talking about antiquated WM formations and half backs from the pre WWII era.I'm surprised they're not doing miles better since they got rid of the worst signing in history, according to Guardian journalist and tactical expert Jonathan Wilson.

Yea I thought that I remember when ruud first scored or one of his first goals and one of our players in his ear telling him what the crouwere doing.It's a daft thing, but what I'm really liking about the SIIIUUU thing is that the crowd noise is really reminiscent of how Old Trafford used to sound whenever Ruud scored. If you don't know what's going on, it almost sounds like everyone is booing!
It was something like you signed paedos, we signed cristiano. it had an edge to itI heard one sung a few times coming across on the TV today, a play on "This is how it feels to be City / this is how it feels to be small" with the twist being "you signed ______ we signed Cristiano, Cristianooo" which I thought was clever, but I couldn't make out who the name of the City player was, I am guessing Grealish?
Love this! Wish I could have been thereThe atmosphere was absolutely electric. I’ve never seen the stadium collectively in such awe of a player and in such expectation. The explosion of noise for each of the goals was incredible. Something I really didn’t want to miss.
Viva Ronaldo was being sung everywhere in and outside of the stadium, up the streets on the way back to the car, in both service stations I stopped off at on the way back down the M6
Never seen anything like it, just adoration.
