Did that not hit Greenwood's arm in the build up to the goal?

 

Thought Ronaldo has been poor all night in general play yet has scored 2 goals

 

 

 

He’s worked his socks off and scored two goals, he’s a CF and was their best attacking player, which is kind of his job. He’s unreal and I think people expect too much from him outside of scoring goals especially at his age now.

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.

Yeah I mean the problem is quite obviously the manager. 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.

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
