| Carl said: I don't think Mourinho has ever been so defensive. He's known for building a solid foundation at the back and pushing from there, but this United side simply doesn't have that strong foundation. That's why he wanted to buy a big name defender in the Summer in Alderweireld or Maguire. Ajax had 70% possession, 17 shots to United's 7 and 634 passes to United's 285. United's first goal was a lucky deflection, too. To say that Ajax were never in the game is completely laughable. You either didn't watch the game or you're letting your United bias cloud everything you're saying. Ronaldo won the Champions League, multiple Premier League titles, multiple other trophies and the Ballon d'Or while he was at United. He played alongside Ferdinand, Vidic, Evra, Rooney, Carrick, Scholes, Tevez and Giggs to name a select few. Nobody was complaining about Ferguson, Ronaldo and United through those years. What on Earth are you talking about? |
Then you don't have a good memory it's how Porto played, it's how Chelsea played, it's how Inter played it's how he tried to make Madrid play.
Ahh yes the usual stats argument the's a difference between meaningful use of the ball and just passing the ball around in front of your opposition and taking tame shots not troubling them and if you think people weren't knocking Ronaldo during the Fergie days then sort your selective memory out as people for a while were saying Ronaldo was mediocre blah blah then he started scoring goals, people just like you knocked the team saying theyr would never be as good as the team in 98/99 then the team exploded and went on to go to 3 CL finals.
