Morata is average and oveehyped abeg..

The rest are above average.

Bonnucci doesn't play well without chiellini though
He is a good striker to me. It's not easy to represent a very competitive national team like spain.

Bro no team wey dem no dey flog.
Even Bayern sef dey collect.
What can messi do when he is playing with a team that literally has no defence.
Even when they had the likes of Iniesta and co. Bayern still wooped them, same with Ronaldo's madrid when Dortmund thrashed
them.

Thank God Ronaldo has rubbished Bayern Munich many times with Real Madrid. Just like what Carragha said, Messi and Ronaldo are now passengers. They don't put any pressure on the opponents. Only Messi fans think that after flopping against a big team will come back and have 3 assist against st Etienne that is sitting 20th in the French league table that he's performing. PSG last two seasons was better than what they currently look like

The challenges of this season is diff from last season's.
If a coach decided to revolve the game round Ranaldo is that Ronaldo's fault or the lack of creativity of the coach?
When Ronaldo was paired with Lingard, didn't Lingard score?
Ranaldo made a mistake going to Man u. Wait for a more experience coach to come and you'll see how he'll use Ronaldo
Against which teams? Lol. Abegi... This is not about the coach, players score goals and win games, a united team wins competition.
You can't revolve the game around Ronaldo when players who can do the job are readily available. If Ronaldo started yesterday, sancho wouldn't have scored, united would have been trailing in the first half. Can't you see everyone was marking yesterday? Can Ronaldo do that.

Messi is struggling at PSG, 3 assist aside. He knows he's no more the same player he use to be. I don't know what u guys gain in trying to put down Ronaldo at any given time but when Messi plays badly u guys make excuses 4 him. Stop being a hypocrite abeg. Rashford that played first half what was his contribution? Him giving three assist against the worst club in French league one doesn't change the fact that Barca made him. Ronaldo at 36 has 10 goals in15 appearances. If tap in was that easy Timo Werna wud win the golden boot last season. And mind u if u wanna see how useless Messi is put him in this current man utd team that rarely control the ball against opponents. He only thrived at Barca cos everything about the team revolved around him.
is messi playing as striker or midfielder? U have empty brain. If messi was in man u, he will organise that midfield and ur penaldo will have loads of goals. Shit

Let him organize PSG. Stop making excuses for him. They have a great coach but y'all because of his inconsistency pin the blame on the poor coach. Messi is finished. Stop praising him for other pple's goals.

Why can't Ronaldo create chances himself if he can't score? This is the real difference between him and Messi. If Messi doesn't score in a game, he creates chances to score.
HW many time he HV created and scored for psg

Remove all Ronaldo's goal from Man u this season and tell me where they'll be.

He has played his role well, others should do theirs.
I'm not saying it's right to revolve the whole team round him especially when he's just joining them.
But his job is to attack, which is the best form of defence.
Don't they have defenders and midfielders?

His last 4 yrs with juve and now utd ...
so why was Man U winning big games last season without him. But with him it’s so difficult to defeat a big teams. Man would have still lost to Chelsea if he had started. Thank God he was benched and Man U got a draw. He should wait when Man U is playing teams like Norwich or Newcastle then he can come in. This matches pass his power for now

So because he can't score anymore u guys have forgotten that he's a goal scorer. Frank Lampard, Steven Gerrard and Paul Scholes were all midfielders but always competed in terms of goals with their team strikers

Nobody forced him to come to Man u. As for yesterday's game, if Ronaldo had started the match, Chelsea would have scored multiple goals. He would have distorted the compact organisation of the team . Just my opinion though.

If they had started Pendu, they are definitely losing that game. It was tactical! Chelsea will press them very well, and Pendu on the pitch means a player down aside goalscoring (since they are been pressed).
So y is it not man u players pressing

messi is an exceptional player. It is goals that make Ronaldo mostly against smaller teams that makes people even compare him with Messi. When Portugal won euro he played a bit part in the tournament and did not contribute much to the team. But Messi won copa America as the highest goal scorer and best player of the tournament. Ronaldo has played many games against the big teams in epl and hasn’t scored much compare to Messi that has never played in the epl but has a staggering record against them. He Ronaldo has never scored Chelsea and any South American national teams. He scores more against weaker opposition both national teams and club levels

If you were the president, would you pay wages to a player that is scoring for his own glory and not taking the team anywhere? They barely managed to finish top 4 last season.

Let's admit Ronaldo's glory days are over, he played his best at madrid where everyone played for him, even benzema became a supporting striker to accommodate him.

Look at the circumstances... Majority of juventus players don't like Ronaldo, fine! Ronaldo is egostitical, I watched a couple of their games, the other players rather pass to dybala than Ronaldo..

I don't blame them, its like going to a prison where most of the inmates were placed in there by you.

Ronaldo was their bane in them not winning champions league..

The hatred chiellini has for Ronaldo ehn, it's visible to the blind.

In the match against Chelsea, the man utd fans were shouting his name right from the start of the match.

I was telling someone that the man utd fans came to bully the Chelsea supporters, they were significantly louder than Chelsea supporters..

They were heavily behind their team, despite their recent bad outings .. Chelsea supporters just quiet for stadium and yet they were home.

Of course Carrick had to play a defensive game against the kings of England (Chelsea) at our own den. He knows his team is crap and if he had attacked, he knows they would have choped like 7 goals on the counter. And then it’s the very same people like Michael Owen that will be calling for his sack now.

He did a wise thing. They should give him some credit.
