Who's responsible for transfers?

Ronaldo presses less than Wayne and Robin talks sense but as we’re not and never have been a pressing team under Ole it’s not really an issue and distracts from the wider issues.

It’s not just Ronaldo though, Greenwood is lazy as feck pressing and rashford aint much better, Sancho is invisible and let’s not even talk about martial.

True enough. Then you've got a low/mid block led by McFred and you've got problems.

Complete change of formation on Saturday if it was up to me, 433, Rashford, Cavani and Sancho up top, drop Greenwood and Ronaldo and see if we get a bit more energy.

Bruno, Matic and Donny in a midfield 3, anybody? In the second half against Atalanta Bruno showed he could be more disciplined and play a deeper role.

If it sounds like changing things for the sake of it, it kind of is. Doing the same things and expecting different results isn't working.

Yeah fair, not sure I’d play Sancho though, he’s been our worst attacker, but change is merited.

many grown adults have talked themselves into believing the problem in this team is Ronaldo.......
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Ronaldo has caused a problem. His lack of work when we don't have the ball means other players should be working 10% harder to make up for that, and they aren't.

I don't think anyone's said he's the main problem though.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Ole's team has never been a pressing team, it's only know it's being turned into a 'thing' because the media/fans need to find a way to deflect the blame of this collapse from Solskjaer.

Ronaldo has never been a hard worker out of possession in his entire career, if it's only now teams have been able to start to really exploit it then I'd say the problem is firmly in one place and it's not at his door!

If the players aren't working hard enough and only giving 90% they've got to share the blame. The manager has a responsibility to shake them out of that of course, drop the worst offenders and put a hungrier team out, but he's sticking with a team that's comfortable.

anne ziety. seems to now be claiming to be a united fan, despite having shown no evidence of such during his time on the site.

You don't ask arguably the greatest player of all time to run around like a dog, even Mourinho knew better than that.
