this Souness argument that he is putting forward on talk sport, which he has no clue if it happened at all, but his assumption is that Ronaldo and ETH had a pre season meeting after no club came in for him. The gist was from Souness that ETH promised him playing time. It may have happened, but after those 2 defeats we got from Brighton and Brentford, he had to change his game plan, and he did and Ronaldo wasn't the only player that suffered. Maguire can't even get a game now with Varane out injured, Shaw got dropped after that, but worked his way back. Players like Sancho and Fred aren't regular starters anymore. Form dictates playing time, Ronaldo's has been poor, 3 goals sp far this season, 2 of which came against Sheriff in europa league.
