Destroyed...
...and to think it has been said the quality of Ronnie's dribbling aint what it was.
It would be incredibly cliche, but I have an urge to post a GIF of O'Shea on Figo.
Of course, he still has extraordinary ability with the ball at his feet - he still has plenty more technique and skill and tricks available than not only the average player, but the average world class player.
But at United, you saw him pull off things constantly - every single week, and you don't see that anymore. I think it's partially to do with the fact he's bulked up, he's a little less agile than before. But it's also a choice, he chooses to carry the ball forward/shoot/pass - he wants to be effective with the ball rather than showing off.
Whether by choice, or his ability is less - we see it far far less often - and that is what matters.
I still love watching Ronaldo play, he is the most complete footballer I've ever seen - but if I'm honest, I miss the show kid who loved to take the piss, and not just because he no longer plays for United.
