Ronaldo is a good scorer and not a complete package. Just a scorer.

You can’t build a team around that kind of player and expect good performances from other attackers.

Be honest bro! What is Ronaldo doing when he’s not scoring?

Abeg ooo how does a good scorer become the number 1 goal scorer in history or 3rd highest assist in history?

Please tell me if Ronaldo is just a good scorer currently, what will you call Messi in PSG? grin

Stop setting Ronaldo up for drags by comparing him to Messi.

Just watch how blind your midfielders are grin grin

I noticed this during the game. So many "nearly" balls to Ronaldo but the execution was poor. It is not that they are blind but most of them lack the ability to make those eye of the needle passes that someone like KDB or Phil Foden would make easily, so it is either they try it and fail (like we saw in the video) OR they see it and decide not to pass because they lack the confidence to try it (like we also saw in the video).

With regards to the general play, no amount of formation tweaking or tactical masterclass can overcome a useless midfield. Once people accept this much of the uproar will settle. The manager does not seem to understand the abilities and limitations of the players but many of the players are not helping themselves.

Ralf: "It was not a question of formation - it was a question of how aggressive we were. It was a question of energy and, in those areas, we need to get better, including what we were doing when we’re in possession of the ball."

"........we were not really controlling the game and taking the wrong decisions in the important moments and that’s what it’s all about."

Aggressive, energy

Vs Norwich.
....

Rangnick has revealed that he ordered his players to increase the speed of the game and their pressing but their performance after the interval showed the players didn’t thoroughly follow the German tactician’s instructions.

“From the start we controlled the game but didn’t always have the best possible solutions,” Ralf Rangnick told BBC.

“Defensively we did well, tactically in the first half we didn’t allow them to have too many shots or chances.

“At half-time I told the boys we needed to increase the speed and intensity of the game. The second half was a little bit better but at the end we were lucky to have a clean sheet and there were two or three clean sheets [saves] by David de Gea

Who has said Atletico are easy?

All I can remember myself and others here saying is that Atletico are not as good as they used to be thus the chances of eliminating them over 2 legs is higher than against PSG...

Trolling is fun when done right else you'll become a joke...
Do you want receipts? Just let me know.

I don't say what I don't see.

So we don't have any combination of players to play the midfield and play it very well against the likes of Newscatle? We can't select 3 players from Bruno, Matic, Fred, VDB, Tom to play well against Norwich, Newscatle and the likes? LMAO

Manchester United have rejected Sevilla's loan offer for Anthony Martial. The offer only covered half of his wages and United will only consider offers that cover all of his wages and includes a loan fee.

They will press Pogba and he will vomit the ball like a pregnant woman, and you know his won mistakes usually turn into goals for the opposition. cheesy

Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by elampiro(m): 7:43pm On Dec 28, 2021
The high number of possession lost was a result of trying to play with speed, intensity, and aggressively without drilling.

The brain and the body must be at same speed. Right now the body is forced to act faster than the brain. It will take some time, even some pains before they can start making good decisions while on speed

So, Rauf just wants these players to start playing with speed and intensity overnight?

Meanwhile, the first half against Crystal Palace was really good, how come we could not replicate it in subsequent games?

Even when they have short time to train together. According to reports, they only watched videos.

Suddenly, everything Don dey mellow. But I still trust them to come Good. We only need one to two tweak in that midfield... The midfield is where the problem lies.

You can't convince me our players can fit into Ragnick's 4-2-2-2 without a preseason at least. Some players also need to be binned permanently for this to work.

4-2-2-2 is a formation that relies on forwards with precise laser-guided passing (and ball control) in the final third as the amount of space available is limited.

Leipzig under Rangnick did that. It's easier when you have ballers with appreciation of space like Emil Forsberg.

TBH, Raufball is bs if he has not used it to win trophies at major clubs. There is a reason he did not get more than 6 month contracts from clubs outside Germany.

We just need to move him on to a DOF role after six months. He won’t win us trophies.
