He had a difficult debut but is a great personality. National level player.
He had a difficult debut but is a great personality. National level player.
He played like he does for Portugal rather than how he played at Madrid but he shouldn’t need to. When Allegri fixes things up and they find the right balance that will stop happening.Seems to me he adjusted his playing style a little bit and is now closer to the first half of his career. Participates more, dribbles more, generally more involved. Nice to see.
Really?He was superb in his first match. Unlucky not to get the goal.
He was active....not sure I'd say superb though.He was superb in his first match. Unlucky not to get the goal.
He was not superb, Jesus ChristHe was superb in his first match. Unlucky not to get the goal.
He was involved in the buildup play a lot and unlucky of not scoring with a few good shots. If one of them went in it will be a 8-9/10 performances.He was not superb, Jesus Christ
He was like. 6-7/10 performance.
But they didn’t go in, he was wasteful.He was involved in the buildup play a lot and unlucky of not scoring with a few good shots. If one of them went in it will be a 8-9/10 performances.

He was involved in a lot of the great attacks and Costa+Cuadruado let him down with their poor decision making/passing.He was not superb, Jesus Christ

It was alright. Nothing superb about it. Juve fans raving about it is a bit like how we were giddy (and biased) after Falcao's first few games only with at least two years of top performances replacing Falcao's rubbish performances thereafter.He was involved in a lot of the great attacks and Costa+Cuadruado let him down with their poor decision making/passing.
Ronaldo's crossing, 1-2's and passing was superb.
Go check r juventus fc if you don't believe me.
All he said he wasn't superb, or do you think he was? I know you feel the need to defend your countryman at every turn but chill.First game for Juve, he’s the best player with a Juve shirt on the pitch and you have Barcelona fans who haven’t watched a Serie A game in over a decade calling it a mediocre performance despite there being a Chelsea vs Arsenal at the same time while Real Madrid fans openly admit to wanting him to fail without any shame...
Jesus Christ, it’s going to be a long season.
Yeah, we should all trust yours and Ronaldo's mum's objective opinions on his performance.First game for Juve, he’s the best player with a Juve shirt on the pitch and you have Barcelona fans who haven’t watched a Serie A game in over a decade calling it a mediocre performance despite there being a Chelsea vs Arsenal at the same time while Real Madrid fans openly admit to wanting him to fail without any shame...

Yes, all he did was say he wasn’t superb. No mention at all of it being a mediocre performance despite it being word for word what was written.All he said he wasn't superb, or do you think he was? I know you feel the need to defend your countryman at every turn but chill.
I guarantee you that the last 10 people that have written in this thread are a lot less objective than Ronaldo’s actual mumYeah, we should all trust yours and Ronaldo's mum's objective opinions on his performance.
Dybala and Cuadrado were below average imo. It’s obvious that there is a lot more potential to that attack than what they’ve showed and yet Juve still had loads of chances.It was a good debut in a very difficult game. Calling it mediocre or superb is ridiculous.
Dybala, Costa and Cuadrado also only had above average games.
I didn't watch it myself so cannot comment am afraid, I take it he was in between mediocre and superb, i.e. decent?Yes, all he did was say he wasn’t superb. No mention at all of it being a mediocre performance despite it being word for word what was written.
I’m chilled Just found it funny how offended people were at that being called a superb performance while ignoring the guy that called it mediocre.
Mainly because of who those people were, it’s like the whole club showed up at once.
Calling it decent would be harsh, he was Juve’s best player and by far their biggest attacking threat.I didn't watch it myself so cannot comment am afraid, I take it he was in between mediocre and superb, i.e. decent?
Looks like a good performance to me. Not mediocre, not superb.
Video got taken down but I take your word for it.Calling it decent would be harsh, he was Juve’s best player and by far their biggest attacking threat.
I posted a video above with his touches which should give you some idea of how the game went. You can judge it for yourself, doing it by reading online comments will not lead to great conclusions.
He shouldn’t need to be as active as he was though, that’s the point. As soon as Allegri figures out how the attack should set up Ronaldo is going to play like he did for Madrid rather than how he usually does for Portugal or how he did in the Chievo game.As a Juve fan watching it I'd say he was good and didn't do a lot wrong
7/10 I would say he deserved as he was quite active throughout the game and didn't do one of his disappearing acts like he normally does for Madrid over a whole match
You just don't quitA 6.5 is far from superb, closer to just average/mediocre.
What do you have to do to go above 7?Chievo-Juventus votes, (Gazzetta, Corriere. sv=no vote)
Chievo: Sorrentino (7), Seculin (sv), Bani (5), Cacciatore (6,5 dalla Gazza e 6 dal Corriere), Rossettini (6), Tomovic (6 e 5,5), Depaoli (6 e 5,5), Giaccherini (7 e 8), Hetemaj (6 e 5,5), Obi (sv e 5,5), Radovanovic (6), Rigoni (5,5), Djordjevic (5,5), Stepinski (6,5 e 7).
Juventus: Szczesny (6), Alex Sandro (7), Bonucci (6 e 5,5), Cancelo (5,5 e 5), Chiellini (6,5 e 6), Bernardeschi (7), Can (sv e 6), Cuadrado (6 e 5), Douglas (6 e 5,5), Khedira (6), Pjanic (6,5 e 7), Dybala (5 e 5,5), Mandzukic (6,5), Ronaldo (6,5).
Dybala insufficient for both, Cuadrado good for GDS and bad for CorSport, Douglas good for GDS and mediocre for CorSport, Cristiano very good for both. Giaccherini great for GDS and fantastic for CorSport
Standard ratings in Italy. 90% of total votes will generally fall between 5 and 7. For GdS the range is usually 4-8, it would take the kind of performance everybody will remember for ages to break outside that(in good or bad). CorSport are a bit more lax in that regard, but still. I think both papers combined for something like 6-7 (10) EVERWhat do you have to do to go above 7?
Those are some tough ratings, Sorrentino made a bunch of great saves, none of the goals were his fault and he still gets just a 7. Has anyone ever gotten a 10?
Juventus attack was slow, soon they had the ball they took forever nothing like Real with their quick attack and they always gave time for chievo to defend with basically all the players, couldn’t watch the entire game and switched to arsenal’s game.Dybala and Cuadrado were below average imo. It’s obvious that there is a lot more potential to that attack than what they’ve showed and yet Juve still had loads of chances.
Allegri needs to find the right balance, it’s going to take some time until everything clicks.
Very interesting, thanks.To follow up on giorno's post, here is a little article who puts the GdS ratings into context. It's a bit dated, but the message hasn't changed. As at date of the article, Totti had the highest average career rating at 6.45 points. The highest average in a season was Platini's 6.94.
Haha maybe my 6.5 and your 6.5 are very different things!Very interesting, thanks.
Hopefully @Daysleeper doesn’t conclude the likes of Totti, Baggio or Maradona were average/mediocre
Ronaldo effect deffo in play but I also noticed attendance for the Barca game was also crap, are people still on holidays in Spain?Tweet

May 24, 2009 - last home match before signing Ronaldo
Yesterday - first home match after selling Ronaldo
I’m guessing playing against Getafe at 10 pm in August played a part in that but still...
