And Ronaldo isn't the issue. Far from it.

Time and time again he refused to pressure Van Dijk or Konate when they were in possession, allowing Liverpool to set up further up the pitch and wait to receive the ball out wide. Meanwhile at the other end of the pitch, Jota was all over any Manchester United defender, giving them no time on the ball and really doing the dirty work to cause turnovers and high risk passes.
I actually thought the offside call on Ronaldo's goal was very harsh, I don't understand how it was ruled offside as the player was nowhere near interfering with play. With that said, at this level, you just can't have a passenger like that and compete at the highest level. Signing Ronaldo was a vanity project that is costing them dearly.
