Can't understand why people are slagging Ronaldo so much.

Not one of his best halfs but the guy is at least trying to do something.

atleast ronaldo is trying to do something. i`d rather have a player trying to do something than just stand there like a fecking clueless Ihni binni dimi diniwiny anitaime trying to figure out why he has football shoes on him....

funnily enough...clueless Ihni binni dimi diniwiny anitaime just describes his showing so far.
 
Rooney has been non-existant. We keep trying to toss high balls into the two strikers and we're getting nowhere.
 
45 minutes to go.

Not time to slit your wrists just yet, you fecking pansies.

Popular thing to do now that we have Rooney. I still remember how after the Everton match on boxing day (the one when Rooney got subbed early and 'tackled' ronaldo) everyone said Rooney was crap and Ronaldo was a far better talent. :o :rolleyes:
 
I think United need to bring on Park for Giggs, either him or Ronaldo, but I think if SAF can get Ronaldo to stay on the right flank, Park would fit in nicely. He is good for team play.

do we deserve 3rd place

If we lose, we won't even be in 3rd place. We'll be out of Europe altogether.

Whereas Rooney has been playing like what today ?

He'll get at least a 7 in the ratings thread even if he continued playing like this.
 
The sad thing is that Benficas cb's are shit but we aren't even testing them.

Ronaldo is fecking me right off!

He plays for himself without a consideration for the team.

He brought my hopes down ONLY JUST TWO MINS into the game and pissed me off when he continued to play that way. The first two mins summarise how he'd played in the first half.
 
Benfica's defence is frustrating me.And who's this nelson boy,so fast?We can still win.Its quite an open game but our defence against benfica's first goal was just awful.
 
Rooney is being affected by the poor midfield play. Bring on Park and sub off either Ronaldo or Giggs and our shape will be a lot better
 
Tough 1st half - we started well but lost our heads after going ahead - then letting them score quickly really put us under the cosh. On the other hand we have created chances going forward and their keeper looks quite week. I think the next goal wins the tie and I wouldn't give up hope yet.
 
The worrying thing is that Benfica are going to shut up shop big style now.
 
Has the giggs,ronaldo experiment actually worked yet,just because they can bith play either wing doesn't mean they have to switch every 5 mins if at all.who is giving the order to switch it only works in my opinion if the player actually stays there long enough.The senior player ?

its quite obvious isnt it, ronaldo is the reason for why rooney,o`shea, rio,silvestre,ruud and giggs have been shite so far.


I agree.

Atleast someone is making sense in this thread ;)
