If you watch the games closley. the big teams will double even triple mark the space on the right in font of Ronaldo. he is feared that much. Trust me Thats why Giigs and evra got alot of joy on the left against big teams. coz against the big teams the LB, LM F AND LCM will play tight to the line to squezze his running space, if he builds up a head of steam he can only be fouled. You remember Joe cole lunging at him in the recent chelsea match(should have been a red) thats coz he was out of postion and Ronaldo saw this and went for the LB and cole knew it so fouled him. |

Aye, it helps that the bigger teams have better players as well. They do mark him out of the game unfortunately but he needs to deal with it and find a way around...drifting? |

ask yourselves how old is ronaldo if he reaches 29 and cant perform in big games then yes we can debate it but he is only 22 and improving. when he first started he was inconsistent now he plays at a pretty high standard everywhere |

Yeah it is something that he needs to add to his game though to improve and then he will be a contender for best player in the world awards. No doubt he will do it, I certainly hadn't heard much about Kaka two years ago and now look at him go. |

I know he's good for Portugal in big games, just not there yet for United. As I said, no doubt he will do it in a couple of years. I was never slating him in the first place. :rolleyes: |

It's natural that people are going to pick out the bad aspects of his game because he's so damn good. People do forget his age (same with Rooney) because they are such an important part of a high profile team already in their short careers. |

Lucky Messi doesn't play in England or he would be scrutinised at every opportunity by the press. |
