At the end of the season, we'd probably end up 6th. But sing praises to Ronaldo for scoring 25 goals in all competitions. Then curse Rashford for probably scoring 6 in all competitions. Greenwood probably has 10 in all competitions. Cavani probably with 10 and Sancho probably with 4.

Not saying we'll end up 6th because of Ronaldo. But just don't understand people dropping Ronaldo stats at his final season in Juve, when this fuels the fire those that say Ronaldo is the problem create.

ChristoBam:
I don't even know how I'm trying to sound cool but to each man his little cross. Whatever you're facing that's made you so hateful and unreasonable will pass.

ChristoBam:
From the beginning, all I've been saying is Ronaldo should start all our UCL games. There's just something about him and the UCL. But as for the league games. I want Cavani and Greenwood in majority of the games.

I don't know how many times I'll say this but we've seen this work many times in the past. They link up well together. Even when Greenwood was playing from the wing. I'm not just saying Cavani because of the hardwork, all though that's also really important.

Btwn I can see the reason most of you won't see the facts staring you at your face is because of this Ronaldo V Messi arguments you've been having for years.

ChristoBam:
He scored 47 goals mostly at a struggling Juve but how many league goals does he have for us so far?

And please remind me what Bonuci and Buffon said after Ronaldo left.

He's Fvcking 36 years old. WTF is a 36 years old world class player.

Our high press was very effective today.

That should show that achieving a press with Lukaku is not a red herring

A striker need not do more than slightly pressure both centre-backs, and let the wingers and AM do the furious part of the pressing. Centrebacks will hardly leave their position to show for ball for fear of a strikers presence. That's what Bayern have been doing with Lewandowski for years, not that Lewandowski is chasing players down like Usain Bolt.

When Pep was chasing Ronaldo in the summer, one analyst was asked how Pep will maintain the press with Ronaldo, he said easy, Pep will only ask the striker to move within the vicinity of the centre-backs, that Messi was not pressing furiously at Barca, Messi just make shadow movements and Pedro, Villa and Iniesta take it from there, that Pep does not even want Messi too tired from pressing when ball reaches him in the box, he needs him to have a calm head for the finish.

Another key difference - it's easier for 4 attackers to press than 3. We also had an AM on board today which we don't usually have.

Jodera:
You just have to insult people even your fellow fans just because of differing opinions?

Someone can't have opinion in this forum again as long as that opinion isn't the majority opinion. Once one is out of point, the next thing is insult and insult!

Na wa for una ooo

liveLongNprospa:
Do you want a workaholic or do you want to take advantage of world-class?

This past year, Ronaldo scored 47 goals.
When last did cavani do that?

melodyogonna:
I'd take Cavani too sha

ChristoBam:
We've seen Greenwood and Cavani combine perfectly well numerous times last season. Maybe not as a front two but there's definitely chemistry there.

Can't say the same for Ronaldo and Greenwood.

Btwn, I don't understand the pairing of two old strikers as the front two. In a system that's meant to be pressing.

This is an example of what I was talking about.

Herd mentality.

There’s this mental laziness on this thread where people outsource their thinking to the herd.

Like most of the herd, this one that quoted me see everything in black and white.

I complain about an aspect of Ronaldo’s game = I think Ronaldo is uber useless and I am his enemy. Nothing else. No grey areas.

How about complaining about Ronaldo’s game = complaining about Ronaldo’s game?

And how about attacking the issue and not the poster?

No wonder the discus here has become boring and predictive. No nuances, just black and white views. [/s]

Leyqute:
They will soon come for you with all sorts of insults.

eph12:
I repeat, I would sack this guy. I have seen enough to know it's a big waste of time

codedguy1:
This is not necessary abeg.

eph12:
I would sack Ragnick this night, aswear

Leyqute:
Bruno and Rashford on the bench again

donstan18:
At this point, I’ll pick Odoi over Pulisic.

popizaino:
Assistant coach is beating you Tuchel

BikeMan:
Ehn?!

Someone that will be waiting for Telles to cross

eph12:
Villarreal already with 3 shots on target. Na express?

TheLequte:
VDB doesn’t keep the ball.

patrickmuf:
What Bruno does to others...

Bruno was relegated to the bench in the Euros because he was not in sync with CR7. He was supposed to be their creative outlet but he left the job for Carvalho and the other guy.

eph12:
This is my point here but people think I'm trying to defend Fred. Keeping the ball masks helps the team a lot in many ways. Less chasing for the team
