It is clear, Ronaldo

[Lazie]

is and a$$hole!!!! Everytime the team wins without him, he does something to make it about him.

I am a practical fan of Manchester United, and as such, there are some basic facts that I have to accept. The most basic fact, is that OGS is not good enough to lead us back to the Promised Land. His most basic weakness is his tactical deficiencies as a top coach. However, I believe that this deficiency can be papered over by the skills from the few world classed players at his disposal. But, therein lies the root of his problems this season. This squad consist of two too many stars in Ronaldo and Sancho. These two purchases have disrupted the team's chemistry and progression that OGS has built over the past two seasons. As a coach, he has to foot most of the blame for the squad construction and their performances. Coming into this season, he had a clear plan of what he wanted and his approach.....which was ok. He decided from last season that Sancho would be his number one buy and that he would have plugged that hole on our right wing. His original plan was to move Greenwood into the middle as an understudy to Cavani. The left side would have been shared between Rashford and Martial. Ronaldo, fell into his lap and disrupted that plan.

Now where I criticize OGS as a coach, is that he is not showing enough gravitas in his decision making. Alex Ferguson, as a board member, put his very heavy foot on the scale when HE decided to bring Ronaldo back to the club. HE also influenced the coach's team selection when he was caught on camera stating that OS should always be starting his "best" player in Ronaldo. Ronaldo is not the best player at Manchester United. Whereas there are a lot of benefit in having Ronaldo at the club, it comes with more problems than good. Ronaldo is a luxury buy which was unnecessary. In order to maximize Ronaldo's effectiveness, the team has to be built around him. Ronaldo, even at his age, will give you a ton of goals, but he has to be supplied with those opportunities. His ratio is about 2:1 which is phenomenal. This squad cannot be dismantled and rebuilt around Ronaldo. For the benefit of the team and his coaching career, OGS needs to take a stand and use Ronaldo sparingly. He has to tell Sir Alex Ferguson as tactfully as possible to STFU.

Saturday's game was another in OGS' collection of coaching weaknesses. Firstly, he made the decision to start Harry McGuire who was coming off an injury and wasn't match sharp. OGS himself said in his press conference prior to the game that Harry McGuire just did his first grass training the day before. Throughout the week, Bailly must had been mentally preparing himself to play on Saturday beside Lindeholf. I can just imagine his disappointment and anger when Harry showed up, unfit, and got selected over him. That was a long termed gaffe by OGS. The verdict is now out that going forward, OGS must play MacFred in the midfield, as none of the three is good enough by himself. That fact weakens the team and leaves OGS with very tough choices to make. How I see it, only one spot is up for grabs as 10 players select themselves. The back five are automatic starters - De Gea, McGuire, Varane, Shaw and Wan Bassaka. Then there is MacFred. Bruno and Pobga must play. Incidentally, these two had been building a certain level of chemistry before the arrival of Ronaldo. Greenwood has shown that he should be undroppable based on his performances and his goal contributions so far. It would be criminal to bench him. That leaves the one position of striker. I think that should be Cavani.

Another major problem that the team has is it's deficiency at set pieces. We hired a specialist coach this summer but we are yet to see any improvements both in attack or defense. Defensively, it is almost a guarantee for our opponents to score a set piece goal. We have also not scored from a direct corner in forever. The last time Manchester United offered the threat of scoring from a corner, was when Fellani was at the club. Harry McGuire, who has one of the best statistic of defensive headers won in the premiership, now offers nothing in the attack. He offered more of an aerial threat at Leicester City than at Manchester united.

Lazie, the evidence is there to see. Every player's game, with the exception of De Gea, has dropped significantly since his arrival. The players and the coach are deferring to Ronaldo. OGS has been trying to play a formation that benefits him to the detriment of the rest of the players and himself. The difference between MU and West Ham is that the West Ham players know their positions and their roles on the pitch compared to us. We finished off last season playing on a canter. All of that has gone through the window.

• Bruno Fernandes is among the senior players who feel they are not getting enough direction from Solskjaer and his coaching staff.

As a pickney yuh granny used to seh "Haard ears gwine feel."

Ten deal with it very professional. Ronaldo behavior could have cost a lot of disruption but the coach was professional. Now imagine how him, Pogba and others who didn't want to be there affected the team in the dressing room.

I like the brutal honesty of Ronaldo

The only "honest" thing that he said, which is not news, is that the Glazer doesn't care about the club and football, and that ManU is a marketing club.
