He created two of those chances for Cr7

See analysis na...
It's funny nobody is having a go at Ronaldo for such a bad performance, he only came alive when his selfish instincts kicked in, realising he had to score to be joint top of the chart again...Apart from goals, Ronaldo offers next to nothing... As far as Madrid attack was concerned, only James was up for it but I'm surprise some folks here are downplaying his performance... Bale was bad as was a clearly unfit Benzema...
The midfield was just a poor combo, a casmeiro behind Kross and Modric would have limited the influence of Iniesta, for heavens sake he was the only threat through the middle cos Rakitic was off the paces...
Defense was led down by the midfield...Also, I still don't see how Danilo is better than Carvajal, in attack or defense...
Team should've been
Keylor Navas

Carvajal-Varane-Ramos-Marcelo

Casmeiro

Kross-Modric

James Rodriguez - CR7 - Bale

Ronaldo was awful yesterday, he had a piss-poor performance, but he can be excused for bailing Madrid out on numerous occasions - something Bale doesn't do!!

And I agree with your CR7's appraisal, that's why I don't even want him back. I'd rather we let him go and find a good player that plays for the team, tracks back and helps out in the defense as well as contribute meaningful going forward. CR7 shouldn't be bought for anything more than 40M!!

How much do you think he is worth??

The Reds boss revealed injuries sustained to Herrera and Jones against Watford were perhaps not too serious even though it was a patched-up side that secured a sweet 2-1 win at Vicarage Road; James Wilson also missed the game due to a knee problem.

"My first impression is that they are not too heavy but the problem is that we have to play Wednesday already. Jones had a twisted ankle and Herrera a hamstring injury. Rooney is ill, and that is a matter of days, not weeks. I expect that he shall play Wednesday, but you never know, I do not know the development of the illness. Today he is at home, we gave him a day off to heal the illness; tomorrow he comes and I can say more. Martial is another problem, his foot, it is not as heavy as the media have written but we have to wait and see if he can play Wednesday."

In other news, LVG has openly declared that Utd wants to buy back Ronaldo just about the same time Madrid fans booed the fúck out of Ronaldo last night. And with Ronaldo always stylishly talking about Utd all the time, I can see Ronaldo at Utd next season. My only fear is that Ed will throw away a lot of money to get Ronaldo back. I wouldn't want that. £40M should the max we'd pay for him, anything more should be vehemently rejected. His best years are past him, IMHO.

MrTA:
Forget 40m.I don't want him back.

elampiro:


40m to buy Ronaldo? How una take dey look this ball matter sef?

patrickmuf:
For me, $25-30m should be the most we pay, dude is anything but a team player... I agree with you, his best years are seemingly behind him

elampiro:


How can you guys say you don't want Ronaldo back? Someone who will guarantee 25 goals from the wing. Even if it's just three seasons. May be we get Robben in the other end of the wing for one or two seasons. That's enough time to get the young ones to grow. We are going to get inconsistencies from Lingard and Memphis.

If I had my way I would even buy Vardy this January. But I don't know if he will gel with the philosophy. We can see our pacing striker who plays like Bardy, Wilson struggles in the perhaps philosophy.

If we need instant success we need to spend to bring some world class who can temporarily make among the strongest in Europe.

elampiro:


I think may be is no longer motivated there. That's the problem. Despite this he's always a threat in and around the box.

nyabinghi:
just one league title for madrid with the array of stars that they play with him, ronaldo is a fraud in coogar's way of yabbing rooney

elampiro:

How is he a fraud. Three Ballon D'ors.

fraud in terms of titles

elampiro:

How do you guys see my suggestion of bringing Vardy in January? There's no harm in trying our luck, he won't even be expensive sef.

funlord:


Vardy? Unless leicester would let us have him on loan till the end of the season! Don't be deceived by this "indian summer of form" he is currently experiencing abeg! Vardy is NOT united standard LONG TERM!!!

sinizia:


If this is your line of argument, then Madrid have been poor for over 6 years now, coz save for the few number of times Barca lost to them, Barca have been bashing them for past 6 seasons. When was the last time Madrid won Barca by even 2-0? The Barca team that have been reborn under Pep goes to Bernabeau and whoop Madrid 5-1!!

Dadehmola:


Ronaldo would be a good addition to our side but The money Madrid will be looking to make from us is the issue here - I won't be surprised if they ask for De Gea + 100m.

Personally, I'd rather stop this Ronaldo àss-licking and move on - the way we tend to attach ourselves to him based on his past exploits in a Man utd shirt is beginning to get out of hand.

We should be looking to get players who would guarantee 100% commitment and not someone the club may have to play for.

HeisenbergWW:


Bt wud you compare the Madrid we saw yesterday to the one that was managed by Ancelloti? Barcenola is a very good team, bt Madrid was poor yesterday.
