We know how much emotional Ronaldo is, but defending him time and time again after he fails against Barcelona will not get us anywhere. he should change his attitude and mentality as soon as possible. he's our most important player and we need him to be great all the time.

Well i'm sorry, but that part in red ain't gonna happen. It's a team game and other players need to step up if CR is slacking.

You can criticise a player, no one will begrudge you or slander you.
But, when you post with emotion instead of your head and make it a personal witch-hunt to go after a player then you will get called out.

Mamad is a CLEAR case of this rubbish. Take the time to actually use your head and respond reasonably.

ronaldo has been great this year, higuain has been great, benzema has been great. lets leave it at that. no complicated scales

benguain has 52 goals, 0 from penalties, this season. they played a little bit on pitch together so lets take off 3 goals. so 49 goals
cristiano has 50 goals, 12 penalties= 38 goals this season. lets say he earned 1 penalty himself so 39 goals.

so benguain still has 10 more goals. cristiano is as much of a forward as benguain considering our playing style. he plays as left wing forward, occasionally going back to help with midfield. many of his goals come from counterattacks on the left side so it is even easier to score as left wing forward than striker. he is also always in the same place as a striker during the attack so dont bring up the 'hes a winger' crap.

if benguain has 49 goals imagine how much ronaldo9 or di stefano or puskas or sanchez would have scored if they played on this team in their prime. probably 80-90 goals in the season. messi and cristiano are both overrated.

All this tactical analysis and wanting him to play different positions and play different roles is unneccessary

It would be good if he made the rational passes and made good decisions on the field....but that dosen't reqire a complete makeover as a player , merely a change in mindset.

If he had just done his job and what he normally does .....he would have scored 2 goals and we would have won the match.

Him being not a playmaker has nothing to do with that.If he's going to be a 9 , he's going to be a 9 and I'm comfortable with that.......I actually quite prefer it......rather than him dropping deep and losing the ball.

He's a fantastic player.......easily the 2nd best in the world......but he simply needs to live it easy and forget what people expect him to do.....(make unbelievable plays while holding a balancing act in greed) and allow the game to come to him naturally......and do what he does.He forced it and it showed, he's a simple player...most of his best moments come when he does things simply....just stick to it.

Anyway....I still want to sell him to city before FFP comes into effect (not even joking)

I think this threads should remain as reference for future posters on how not to be illogical in your comments.

He's scored countless hat-tricks, he carries so much pressure on his back," Mourinho told reporters at Tuesday's pre-match press conference in Madrid.

"But do you know which game of his I've liked best?" he continued. "The second half he gave us against Mallorca. He worked like an animal. He won the ball back for us and ended up exhausted. I told him that it was the game of his I was most proud of.

"I told him that when he works like that there's nobody who can touch him. When he works like that he doesn't have to score all the time and be the man of the match. That was his best game for me."

Ronaldo is basically being used as the scapegoat. If we start getting good results against Barca all this will disappear. That is what is annoying me here.
