    1. Get a new manager in ASAP. There is no coming back from here with the current manager. He’s lost it mentally sadly.
    2. Strip Maguire of the captain armband. Ronaldo should be the captain. Maguire is uninspiring to say the least.
    3. Never start Fred again
    4. AWB and Shaw should not be automatic picks
    5. Lindelof should not be a starter
    6. And bring Bailly back into the fold
    7. Never start a match with Pogba on the bench again
    8. Play Ronaldo and Ronaldo together. Start Ronaldo from the flanks
    9. Nurture Sancho into the team. A player like him can make a difference and it is pathetic that we can get anything out of him
    10. Rebuild the midfield with buying again

    De Gea and Ronaldo can’t play by themselves, Treble. They need other uninspired players around them.

    Ronaldo is part of the problem.

    Haha. I missed that part.

    I felt bad for Ronaldo these past two games.

    I wasn't trolling. But do you think Ronaldo has solved any issues for you or created more? I feel like the balance of your team is now completely off and you're having to build around him instead of Greenwood / Bruno.

    No doubt Ronaldo is a world class goal scorer but it's the rest of his game that isn't up to scratch.

    What balance? <laugh>

    Ronaldo is nowhere near being a problem. He's an easy scapegoat though, and a great pantomime villain for people to lazily point the finger at.

    If you want to address balance, here's a thought. How about playing a formation that suits the players you have? How about actually playing players in their favoured position? You know, simple things like Sancho on the right and Rashford on the left? How about employing tactics which don't involve passing it endlessly between back 4 and then eventually bypassing your whole midfield to pump it long so that Ronaldo has to try and beat 3 men man-marking him, to head it down for someone else to get the second ball and hopefully create something out of nothing.
