joeyt Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 (edited) Did that not hit Greenwood's arm in the build up to the goal?

He’s unreal and I think people expect too much from him outside of scoring goals especially at his age now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Icarus Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 I think the whole "and people say he's a problem for this Man United team!?!" is a bit simplistic like, you could easily argue that his insane goal contribution and him bailing them out is just papering over the problem and that good teams will continue to beat them. The longer they delude themselves and OGS stays there the better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand the logic behind there being cons to having a 'luxury' player, or a maverick, or however you want to label the archetypal 'gifted player who doesn't fit into a team despite their unquestionable talent;' but it's Ronaldo ffs. Literally one of the most gifted players to ever grace the game and easily one of the most consistent centre-forwards in world football currently. He's no albatross, it was an incredible addition to the team. The manager's just rubbish. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Yeah it's Ronaldo but saying that's that and him being in the team is only a positive thing and doesn't have any downsides elsewhere - like not being able to press from the front, fewer goals from other players, Fernandes's reduced influence, Greenwood not playing in the middle, Sancho not getting a look in - seems a bit simplistic when those things are a reality and he's having to bail them out against teams they should be thrashing. He's just obviously far, far too good to not start, but a better team would be using him less and reaping all the rewards imo Edited November 2, 2021 by kisearch Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Froggy Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 Not going to bother reading through the recent posts but I expect: 1. Good posters just praising Ronaldo for the performance. 2. Awful posters saying Ronaldo bailed out Ole and pretending they're happy as it keeps Ole in the job longer, as if the Man United are any relevance at all to Newcastle. There'll be at least one. All that can be said is what a bloody player. Special. Would have taken a draw away in Italy under any manager in our history by the way, and would have certainly taken being in this position in the group with two games left and a Young Boys game at home to qualify. Still trust the club to make the right decision. City on Saturday will be tense as fuck. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand He's turned 21 this year and just moved from another league. I would call for patience. Disgusting money yes, English premium and all that, but give the kid a chance. He'll get tons of opportunities in this team. FWIW Greenwood very, very rarely played through the middle as well, and all of his best performances came from the right. The players missing out on minutes because of Ronaldo are Martial (who's career is all but over at us) and Cavani (gone in the summer). The 5-3-2 will see Cavani more involved mind.
