Actually I thought his overall game was decent today. It's just his game in the box where he seemed half a yard slow.He'll still score a few worldies but his overall game is abysmal. He's finished at this level.

It started just before Xmas. He started very well for us this season in goal scoring terms.When exactly did this Ronaldo decline begin ?
I watched most Juventus matches in the 2019-2020 season and he looked very good. How a player can have a fall in performance levels like this in just two years ?
At his age, it can go quickly. We are not helping him either.When exactly did this Ronaldo decline begin ?

His overall game being as bad as it is makes justifying playing him extremely difficult. United look as if we have 10 men at times, when he's playing. It makes everything difficult for the team, and no top team afford passengers.He'll still score a few worldies but his overall game is abysmal. He's finished at this level.
Ronaldo this season prior to Ralf:When exactly did this Ronaldo decline begin ?

Very few replacements to rest him and if thats true then we look like we have 9 when Rashford is playing.His overall game being as bad as it is makes justifying playing him extremely difficult.

Since Rangick came in. That's not to say he's to blame, but factually he's look finished since then.When exactly did this Ronaldo decline begin ?

Probably important to bear in mind half his goals under Ole were in CL games against (what should have been) fodder.Ronaldo this season prior to Ralf:
16 games, 12 goals, 2 assists
Since Ralf joined:
14 games, 3 goals, 1 assist
Make of that what you will
I think it was after the Arsenal home match we won 3-2. In the last minute he ran at full speed nearly the full length of the pitch to try and get United another goal and pulled up. He overdid it and has not been right since. I was hoping that winter break may of helped a bit but he really needs a lot of time to recover I think. He was playing well, scoring and running easily for the first half of the season and was doing well for Juve in scoring and assisting plenty of chances which other Juve players kept missing.When exactly did this Ronaldo decline begin ?

I actually think his general play is getting better the last 5 or 6 games without goals. It's goals we miss.

Maybe Ole was tactically easier on Ronaldo ? If Ralf is asking him to do things that he may not be able to do and he gets more tired or loses confidence after mistakesI think it was after the Arsenal home match we won 3-2.

Problem is we've got no one now to play instead. Rashford is bust at the moment, Martial has been sent away and the guy that helped us last year in Cavani is nowhere this time.
The teams poor form in general hasn't helped, most of the games are very hard work and become frustrating physically and mentally.
Ronaldo was also terrible under Ole, he's now getting more chances but can't finish them because he's slow and physically weak.Maybe Ole was tactically easier on Ronaldo ? If Ralf is asking him to do things that he may not be able to do and he gets more tired or loses confidence after mistakes
He's not physically weak. Have you looked closely at his body ? He's probably one of the players with the most muscle mass. But yeah, his finishing needs to improve fast.Ronaldo was also terrible under Ole, he's now getting more chances but can't finish them because he's slow and physically weak.
PSG might want him to sell shirts.Ronaldo should play in the MLS next season. I don't see any CL club wanting him at this point.
He's a mimbo. He's not strong in a footballing way.He's not physically weak. Have you looked closely at his body ? He's probably one of the players with the most muscle mass. But yeah, his finishing needs to improve fast.
Muscle mass does not necessarily make you strong. He’s old as feck and struggling with the physicality and his finishing is poor because he doesn’t have the energy.He's not physically weak.

Fair enough! Let's hope Cavani stays fit, comes back strong and agrees to a new deal then... because it does not look like a new centre forward will be signed in the summer.Muscle mass does not necessarily make you strong. He’s old as feck and struggling with the physicality and his finishing is poor because he doesn’t have the energy.
Honestly he does look physically weak for the PL this season, he seems very easily bullied and pushed off the ball. I don't know how big the aura is around him now, but to me it doesn't look like defenders are scared of him.He's not physically weak. Have you looked closely at his body ?

It may be that he is a couple seconds slower with his reactions time to events. When the defenders make the moves on him, it gets him off balance, if he wasnt expecting thatHonestly he does look physically weak for the PL this season, he seems very easily bullied and pushed off the ball.

Not that important to bear in mind when we've struggled as a team against Middlesboro, Burnley, Watford and Norwich, who are the literal definition of fodder.Probably important to bear in mind half his goals under Ole were in CL games against (what should have been) fodder.
Yeah but there's clearly a big difference between the intensity of CL group stage games vs fodder and Premier League vs fodder. Ronaldo looked comfortable against Villarreal and Young Boys. Not so much against Watford and Burnley.Not that important to bear in mind when we've struggled as a team against Middlesboro, Burnley, Watford and Norwich, who are the literal definition of fodder.
Why Ole? I don't think he wanted him.He is a huge problem, thanks Ole
