Thought dalot played well tonight. Who was saying ronaldo was a mistake?

With cavani out, Greenwood not ready and martial well martial, who exactly would you be playing right now?

He is the best Center Forward at the club and the world.
Give him half chances and he scores.
The way he anticipates opportunities is something else.

There are 4-5 right in the world who are elite.
Ronaldo is one of them.
Put a good cross in and he scores.
2-3 times when he was extremely selfish, same with bruno in the end, we could have had 1-2 more goals if we passed more.
I was happy with quite a few performances yesterday.
Even though we were not amazing, we were trying to play football and not OleBall.
Given ronaldo wants to play for club and country I would love to see him not being played each and every game.
Give him a rest once every 3-4 games.

Fair point on Dalot - he was good. Gaping holes down the left hand side all second half though.

Old Ronaldo is a right thorn in our side eh RedWhiskey. 801 career goals, unreal.
OT was rocking when the penalty went in.

i think its fair to say the left side of defence is a problem, Shaw is either up or down with his form, there's no consistency and Telles is decent going forwards but can't defend for toffee. there is a lad in the u23's who looks like he has a lot of potential, Fernandez, but again he's not ready just yet so maybe that will be an area Ralph looks to strengthen with Shaw or Telles maybe moving on.

Or maybe the new manager will get a better balance to the team, get them to press more as a unit and from the front and inspire them to raise their game. Share last year was really good.

wiggy -we can add williams back to the squad that could work at right or left hand side.? Early days but the press might not be far off the mark with the quoted 5/ 6 players moving on soon.
Was absolutely buzzing last night but still cannot get away from the puzzle- why pay 73m for a player to play on the right and put him on the left? Again Rashford another frustrating performance.

I watched the last Norwich game, Williams did very little. Ok, it was 1 game but I think we need an upgrade for both full backs.

probably tony just saying we have a defender that can play both sides and had a workrate ethic to his game when he was getting minutes. The fullbacks that would be on my wishlist are probably not available tbf.

Williams is nowhere near good enough for top teams in premier, AWB is nowhere good enough either, Or is Shaw I even said that months ago and got my head bitten of even had someone telling me Shaw is one of the best left backs in the world, strangely enough now lots are seeing it, we need better full backs, can’t keep having moves break down because full backs not good enough and full backs dithering on ball, AWB prime example of that, sadly would never get anywhere near 50m for him we truly had our pants pulled down with that move!

From what I have read about Ragnick's style of having one FB as more of a forward threat and one as move supporting the defence we could see Dalot play a bit more as that attacking threat down the right. I think we will see some changes and possibly more in game moves as well, if Ragnick wants the team to press it could be that certain players will need to rotate as they are not used to doing that game in game out.
We could also see the best of Fred. maybe!

Anyone is better then AWB going forward that’s for sure, too much breaks down with him in the side I could not care less if ever see him in a United shirt again.

Lampety from Brighton is the best up and coming right back. I hope we have plans to go for him.
Agree that both first choice fullbacks are not great. I've never been a Shaw fan.

Funky, I don’t specifically think Sancho was purchased specifically to play RW. Maybe his versatility is half the appeal. Anyway I’m glad he’s hit a bit of form, after Ron he’s one of the first on the sheet for me and I took a fair bit of convincing.
