    Bottled the peno. To say he was Man U's best player doesn't say much. They were very poor.

    I think he was on the bench for a reason. Fergie knew he's not up to it. Fergie tried an injured Rooney on the wing before bringing Ronaldo on.

    Are you mental? You think Ferige rested the man who won him the league last season because he thinks isn't up to it?! The guy has played non stop all season - he wants him refreshed for Tuesday.

    I think we can put this issue to bed now..... Messi made Evra one of the best Left Backs in the world look average. Ronaldo spent the game, as he often does, looking for excuses to to help him get over the fact that he can't produce on the big occasion.

    Drop him for the biggest game of the season and only bring him on when the main striker is hobbling. Sorry, it doesn't suggest that Fergie has all that faith in him for the big occassions. Loads of other players have played plenty games this season and they played on Saturday. So why drop Ronaldo?

    but its the fact that he cant do it against the big teams consistently. the truly great players will deliver 99% of the time in big games. ronaldo doesnt

    The biggest game of the season for United is this Tuesday. If your theory is correct then he'll play Nani or Park instead of the player of the year two years running.

    Ronaldo has missed 4 PL games this season (3 of them were down to a suspension after the Pompey incident). Rooney has missed 10. Other than Wes Brown I can't think of a Man Utd player who has played more minutes this season.

    I personally think he should have played his full strength side - which includes Ronaldo, Evra, Scholes and Tevez but Fergie knows a bit more than me when it comes to winning titles but if this gamble doesn't pay off Tuesday and Man Utd lose the league then Fergie has nobody else to blame but himself.

    Just wondering why posts on this thread have all of the sudden ceased??

    Could it be because of the embarrassment felt by those who worshipped Ronaldo that they're remaining silent??

    Was he playing on Tuesday night???

    True, had he actually had a good game you can bet people would be on here bleating about how this proves beyond any doubt that he is the greatest player in the world, it has become a consistant pattern that he goes missing in the big games and thus he will never really be the greatest player in the world. Kind of reminds me of Henry(except not as good), he was the best in the premiership for years but never really did it when it really counted like in the World cup or Champions League Final.

    I didn't think he played that badly. He had a job to do and he did it. He didn't light up the game like Messi did but he has the chance to win a Champions League medal. If he plays well in the final does that mean you'll lay off him? Ronaldo can only do things when he has the ball. Considering how little of the ball Man Utd had in both legs I'm curious as to what you expected him to do?

    Regarding Henry - I thought he was fantastic at Euro 2000 i.e. the competition they won. Is that a 'big' tournament?

    Ronaldo has said he will review his future with United after Wednesday's game. That's him setting the wheels in motion for that move to Real that he's always wanted anyway. United supporting workmate reckons Fergie should drop him from the Final for saying that, but would that be cutting off your nose to spite your face? And that would surely lead to his exit anyway, so I doubt Fergie would do it

    He's slimey. As much as david gill says they're not a selling club if Madrid offer 50m for him it will be accepted. Nearly every player has his price.

    Especially a club that has announced debts like United just has done

    Indeed. I'd say ferguson has a backup though. Ronaldo is genuinely the first attacking superstar they've had that publically harboured ambitions to play for Real/Barca, so whiskey cheeks must have been planning on him being sold sooner or later. If they but Berbatov and get an ortodox right winger out of selling ronaldo I doubt if it will do much damage. as it is ronaldo's gash against the big boys. From what I've seen of course.

    if he goes he goes. I'd like to see him stay but I wouldn't want a player on the books who isn't 100% committed to the club. He's renegotiating a new contract at the moment so it could be a ploy to get another 20k a week. I'd say you'd need a minimum of 50 million to purchase him.

    I agree, as much as I want him to stay you can't force him to if he wants to move on. I don't like the timing of his statement though. It's the week of the biggest game of his life and he's thinking about such things as moving. One wonders if the lad is focused on the job at hand.

    Focused on proving once again he's unable to perform on the big stage??

    What a hero to come out in the week of the clubs biggest game in 9 years and say you're considering your future...........
