For a long time, I use to think most Nairaland football hot heads believes in one of the following philosophies: you must win all your matches, a striker must dribble all the opponents and spectators before putting the ball into the net, tap ins and penalties are as good as no goal, Messi or Ronaldo can transform Nottingham Forest to a UCL winning club I never knew there folks who are still realistic and don't emotions get the better part of them during and after every football match, man, I love your POV.

Even in life, winning is not guaranteed always, you'd lose one way or the other and if you're smart enough to have cheat code to beat life with your winnings, death await you at the very end and that's still a loss.

Sorry for the long epistle.

Like... When you hear people talk, you'll just see emotions with no signs of reality.

Deal with what?
I'm not the coach or the management or a fan of the club... or any club for that matter so...

Any team can lose at any time. No club is too small or big; the way coach A crafted tactics to win is the way, coach B did. A team can win 15 matches straight, but if they lose one, your type will crucify them.

Reference:
The great implosion has started.
This is typical Arsenal. Fragile at the core.
And watch as this disease will spill into the Premiership.
Poor management by Arteta.
Rest or no rest. You do not change a winning team particularly one known for being so mentally fragile.
The core of your team must remain the core.
Lokonga and Nketiah are disrupting the core of that team and it will cost Arsenal the fluidity needed to remain contenders for anything this season.

No rest, really? Loss is part of football. Deal with it.

Pendu boys and sharing fake quotes. They are not different from Obi supporters. Lmao

I tire. The other day someone said ETH should build man u around ronaldo... I was shocked! Build a team around a 38-year-old who is almost done?

Best in the world

Fan girl!

Reason why Man utd will never make it in life..

How can you treat your legend like this?

This is someone who rejected Man city just to give you guys the respect and played very well last season to make you guys qualify for Europa by scoring 18 goals (if you minus this 18 goals, man utd would’ve finished last season with 0 goals) and in return he’s getting this kind of disrespect.
Very bad

Lol man city?

Maybe when you sell cronaldo

Martial is injured. Asides from Anthony, he is the only person that completes dribbles nowadays, which is what we need upfront—to penetrate defence during the high press.

lagosrd:
You forgot that man united has always flopped from the beginning of the season till now

Begining of the season was defensive problems... We have fixed that.

Shaky midfield... Fixed!

Remaining attack! Except you want to lie to yourself.

Na infront of u Psg will sign Ronaldo. keep saying nobody wants to sign him.

The coach wants to build a team and he think build it around Ronaldo is a bad idea? Then he doesn't understand the power of association if football. All greats played fully in their teams till they left and smart one built the younger team by them learning from the greats.

Mind you, except PSG offloads mbappe, financial fair play will not allow it to happen. They will end up paying the equivalent of Ronaldo's signing fee to the smaller teams in league 1.

Sentiment! Building a team around a 38-year-old. Thank God the coach will never do what you just said. That's mediocrity! You're a ronaldo fan, I am a Manchester united fan, and I want to see a long-term strike plan and not a strike plan that will soothe ronaldo fans.

Myer:
CR7 will always be hot in the market. Every team wants someone who can score goals.
That Hag doesn't like CR7 is a given.
But disrespecting him constantly as he did is unacceptable.

CR7 is easily the greatest of all time, and you're confining him to bench back to back?

CR 7 should be punished for throwing a tantrum. But Hag needs to get his ish together or risk losing one of the best goal-scorers of our generation.

Easily the greatest? Then you're not aware he has played over 140 matches than Messi. Well, we will see how many people will buy him in January or by summer, and we will see how many goals he will score.

jaxxy:
no ure not to please him bt the idiot of a coach nearly lost to Chelsea if u don't value Ronaldo let him go. That's my case.

His agent went to all the big leagues, no one was serious about signing him. January is around the corner, he'll be let go, let's see how it goes for him. Ronaldo is not even a threat up front. Asides from Anthony, it's only martial that completes dribbles, no martial, no penetration at the front third. Did you sincerely watch the game against Newcastle? He has confidence issues.


But what are you saying? The coach shouldn't punish him for walking away. Creating a bad example for the youngsters? Please take away sentiments and think right. I know you're a fan of ronaldo, but if Madrid refused to resign him at his terms, it shows everyone is building for the long term and not building around one man. If we build around ronaldo, if he is injured or leaves, how will man u fare?

I just like present Bayern, in absence of Lewandowski, they are still thriving; with threats coming from every angle of the pitch and not just one man. You're a ronaldo fan, if not, you won't be saying all these.

prinsam30:
na now I sabi say u no be football fan, tel me who equalised against chelshit last season... that same man CR7, go and google am

That was last season, his confidence has declined. He barely tucks in sitters. Watched the game against Newcastle? Our defense is revitalized, the midfield is clicking and the attack will click soon. I miss martial.

lagosrd:
When did Manchester united turned into a mediocrity club. They are celebrating an equalizer with Chelsea as if they won the match. ... Shame

You guys played woefully to win, that's the point of the celebration.

jaxxy:
Trash. Even Sir Alex cannot bench the Goat. U should know that as a ManU fan

Are we fans to please ronaldo? Thank God the coach doesn't care about your useless sentiments.

Jokerman:
Leave Ronaldo, come buy sancho for you dead left wing

There is elanga, and Sancho will be dropped.

princeemmma:
This guy is not really different from Ole, I will keep saying it.............. Nothing special about our playing so far, we are getting worst every day

Rubish talk. The only problem we have is a 9. Martial is out injured. Stop talking rubbish!!!

Beverlyjean:
He contributes nothing u say but he scored the winner 2 games ago... no player is a better finisher than Ronaldo in that team

Rashford 4 goals
ANTONY 3 goals
Sancho 3 goals
Bruno 2 goals
Ronaldo 2 goals

And Ronaldo has the the most little game play.... non of those players will score that goal Ronaldo scored against Everton... only 2 starts this season... cant u see Manchester are struggling in front of goals... yesterday had a deflected shot and also a goal that were deflected towards Bruno after the referee ( luckily for Manchester united) dint stop play for offside b4 Manchester broke and scored...

All those forwards are struggling to score ... Ronaldo remains their best finisher

He played 70 minutes against Newcastle, and we saw how excellent a striker he is. You are recalling past glory. See how his performance for Portugal in the nations league was, shambolic! A shameful display. You're just a fan, and you'll never agree.

Our best finisher is martial, given the fact that he is very unpredictable and he can dribble and penetrate the 18-yard box. h
Have you noticed how we struggle to do any meaningful thing in the 18-yard box, except it's a counter?

Anthony will cut in and target the left side of the post(very predictable), rashford misfires lately, ronaldo barely gets a meaningful attempt on goal, he messes up one-on-one and his threat in the air has dwindled.

16 shots 1 goal. Best finisher indeed

Beverlyjean:
So its Ronaldo's fault that the players are not good enough to to target crosses ... and what did they do with the direct shots... Manchester have sorted their defensive problem...they problem u people have not realised is that Manchester is suffering in attack...but u guys don't know it cos Manchester is keeping clean shits these days ... so they can grind out wins now ... they are gradually turning to Atletico... both goals they scored were both mistakes ... do u know of all the goals Manchester have scored this season 90% where mistakes...that's worrisome.... any team that locks their backing aggressively will most likely defeat them

Again... We are giving ten hags this season, by next season, bad players will be frozen on the bench or sold. As if you haven't noticed, he is gradually bringing out the best in some players... Look at how dalot and Fred keep improving.


He doesn't have a defensive style of play, he sacrificed 70% of his philosophy—so that we could win matches. yesterday I saw Manchester united players pressing and recovering balls as soon as they lose them. Gradually, they are keying into his main philosophies.

Diego Simione is a defensive-minded coach, and every player in that white and pink shirt is fully invested in his philosophy. He doesn't need many goals, strike once or twice, maintain a low block, and counter.

Beverlyjean:
Disrespect u say... y now bench him..... a player of his caliber being benched is an insult....its best u let him go than bench him ...they refused to let him go saying that he was in their plans ...

Are we the fans of Manchester going to please ronaldo or cheer our club to a trophy? Because of his caliber, we should keep playing him even though he is not contributing anything to the team. You're just a fan girl! Even Ibrahimovic knew when to step aside and start supporting AC Milan.

It's only a selfish player that will prioritize his playtime over the success of the team.

Caliber my foot, PSG benches Neymar from time to time, Bayern benches Muller, Liverpool benches Firmino, and even Guardiola benched haaland fulltime, WTF is ronaldo not to be benched? Is he the owner of Man U?

Beverlyjean:
U are the dumb one here... what has Bruno ever won in his career ?? Sinve he started to play for the national team, Portugal started to underperform... on the Euros , they struggled with him on the pitch against Hungary until he was subbed ..... that when Portugal started to play better and they scored 3... against Germany, they started him again and they were a disaster..... against France they did better without him...against Belgium, he started and they struggled again.... Bruno is a spurs level player ... watch modric , watch KDB , watch Odegaard , watch pedri , those are quality number 10s ...those are the type of players Manchester needs ... u can see the difference between Ericsson and Bruno ...

Bear parlor analysis... Bruno creates more chances in that team than anyone else. If you want to be sincere with yourself, in that Newcastle match, everyone was looking for Ronaldo with crosses and passes. As soon as they subbed him, Anthony and everyone else started taking direct shots.

See how we played yesterday, everyone was a threat. No one was looking for a pendu to pass to.

Regarding what Bruno has worn, he has been in an underperforming Manchester United side, and he will share the same hard luck with Kane who is a good finisher, but the dynamics of the team means he may not win any cup.

One person doesn't win trophies, it's a teams work, shabi Ronald has left Madrid, do they miss him? Since he brings so many goals and titles to the game, why have we been blunt in front of goals in games where they played him?

That era of the whole team playing for one pendu has gone. Clubs are wiser now! If you depend on one person, if he is injured or leaves the club, the club becomes a struggling club like Juventus.

Please, use the premiere league app and check performance stats, Bruno and Rashford have been the most consistent.


Final take: A person doesn't win the trophy, it's a team that does. But if you want to attribute the trophies Ronald has won with his teams to ronaldo alone, then help me ask him to single-handedly win a trophy for Manchester United this season.

I so much love ten hags, he is not interested in a fangirls analysis, he knows if he plays a biased football, he'll end up losing and getting sacked! Ole regretted signing Ronaldo, Naim this fangirl is asking us to sell our performing players and bring in players that will help Ronaldo shine. Tueh!

Stop calling names, Go to the premiere league app and show me stats that qualify you're mentioned NO 10 above Bruno. If he is lacking assist numbers like KDB—why not take a look at the striker's finishing? This is why I love Greenwood and ten hags; Greenwood will not pass to pendu—he'll take his shot. Ten hags will not play a slow-paced penalty taker, he'll bench him. Go to ten hag's Twitter page and wail!

What example is a 500k plus a week player setting to the youngsters? Leaving the pitch before the match ends? Because you warmed up like some other player and didn't play like some other players. Fan girl!

ken6488:
Didn't he want to leave manu and was forced to stay?

January is at the corner, let's see who takes him and how he will change his new team to a goal-scoring team.

Beverlyjean:
Rashford is not an impact player ... Ronaldo wud have scored those chances that he missed all thru... scoring goals constantly is an art... Ronaldo is the only real finisher in that utd .... Rashford will embarrass u in big difficult games....

Sell fenandez? You're dumb! Ronaldo is old and slow paced... You know better than the coach, why not go and start coaching. Ronaldo fangirl.
