Ten Hag has managed this situation very well overall, but I honestly think but for all the drama of the last few weeks Ronaldo doesn’t play 90 minutes today.
He’s probably thinking at this point it’s not worth the aggro and better to just get through to the World Cup / transfer window, which on balance is probably the best strategy right now.
On performance alone though, he should not be lasting a full match like that where we need energy and to wrest back control. His lack of pressing was inviting way too much pressure on ourselves in the second half.
