He certainly forced Ole to change the system at the last minute. No way we go from MMM only a season ago to what we saw last year.
Yep and I don’t think it’s just the physical and tactical presence. As much as he is a winner with an unbelievable attitude to the sport, I think he’s probably also quite an intimidating presence that sucks the confidence and freedom out of some of the younger players.
If he comes back and the team performs well, will you shut the feck up?
Could be true, but then it’s also undermining the work of ETH, which is ridiculous.
Dry your eyes. Hopefully he gets his wish and pisses off to another club so you’re spared the emotional trauma of people thinking that signing him hasn’t improved the team.ETH himself said he's looking forward to working with him but I guess people here know better.
"He can leave if he wants" ?
No you’re talking out of your arse again. There’s no evidence to what you suggested, none whatsoever.
Another one who’ll be crying into his CR7 duvet when he finally fecks off.
Ok, but Erik doesn't seem like the type to lie, or play mind games like that. No matter what people think of him, he's still a top player and I'd like to think that elite managers would prefer to try and work with him (and risk failing, like Ole) rather than giving up and thinking its too much liability.
Is Murtough Ronaldo in disguise?
Quite accurate wasn’t IOi ! Did you not get the message? Not only are you an infestation, but you are also an intolerable infestation.
You speak like someone who would act like that.
errr, yes and no. No because Martial's form was dire in that second place finish season and Rashford clearly wasn't right either despite scoring quite a few goals that season, so there were issues long before Ronnie came here.
That's the year we brought in Cavani. Martial is like the anti-Shaw, doesn't do well with competition :/
Yeah but ETH could have easily kept his responses vague if he wanted to be diplomatic. The fact that he went out of his way to praise Ronaldo and insist that he was a key player in his plans for next season says all you need to know.
Other top European clubs either don’t have space for him (PSG, Real Madrid) or don’t sign players as old as him (Bayern). Nothing to do with his quality as a player.
I'd say, the more you believe its from absence of negative effect Ronaldo may have on our attacking football, the less you would appreciate its from the brilliant work of ETH system. Logically speaking, you can't really contribute both factors on same high degree, its either one way more and the other way less.
Ah well, too bad Ronaldo didn't want to stick around and see how the new manager might fare.
See @Pogue Mahone? This post further proves my claim. It all begins with discussion on fluidity of attack in related to Ronaldo absence, which eventually turns into full scale Ronaldo bashing, instead of appreciating the work of ETH. Post like this really helps feeding the hater while undermining the work of new manager.Ah well, too bad Ronaldo didn't want to stick around and see how the new manager might fare.
Club didn't meet his ambitions apparently. I guess that means he's off toChelsea, Real, City, PSG, Bayern
I'm sure the reality must be sinking in right about now.
