Was Alex Ferguson right to rest Ronaldo??

Trickster87 · 11-24-2007, 05:02 PM

I mean just because he played 180minutes in 1 week dont mean he needed rest,i mean he could have put him in the bench just incase things went wrong.Specially having rooney sidelined you cant afford to rest your best player and ronaldo not having a injury should have been on the bench at least.
If he really wanted to rest ronaldo then he should have rest him for the champions league game on tuesday cos man utd have already qualified.

i think the team saf picked should have been good enough to beat Bolton

goldenHuddlestone · 11-28-2007, 02:26 PM

I think it was just one of those things. yes Ronaldo may of given them that edge but if the guy needs to be rested rest him. Especially when hes your best player

Charlie_LFC · 11-29-2007, 07:01 PM

Apparently Ronaldo was injured, but Fergie tells us that after he gets slated for resting him. Typical.
Ronaldo has that extra bit of spark and edge about him, especially when he's up against dirty. physical teams such as Bolton and to rest him was a real mistake. He could have made the difference, but what's done is done and Unoted need to look to the next game and win it if they're going to hit top form again.

toonmagic9 · 11-29-2007, 07:43 PM

lets be honest you should be able to beat bolton with the players you had out there so stop looking for excuses, i wouldn't expect many people have got more right than saf over the years, what i'd be worried about is a seemingly lack of strength in your squad as it was a very poor performance and i don't think ronaldo would have made much difference

christhegull · 12-02-2007, 12:34 AM

No, Ronaldo is key to the Manchester United team. Should only be rested in Cup games against lower league teams and when he is injured.

toonmagic9 · 12-04-2007, 08:04 PM

not being funny but he was pretty ineffectual against arsenal and even when he scored he didn't seem to raise his game, we just have to accept our favourite star players are entitled to have an off day every now and again.

goldenHuddlestone · 12-07-2007, 06:48 PM

Surely it bubbles down to 'he is rested when he is tired' - and thats pretty much that

toonmagic9 · 12-09-2007, 07:23 PM

not to far from the truth

MrGreen · 12-15-2007, 08:22 PM

He is the man in charge and he like a lot of managers tends to take the opportunity to rest certain players when he can.

Judging From Sundays Performance It's Rooney Who Is The Important One Not Ronaldo, As Long As Rooney Stays Fit And Is Picked Then They Won't Have A Problem.

toonmagic9 · 02-16-2008, 03:40 PM

JUST TO ILLUSTRATE MY LAST POINT JUST HEARD A STAT ON SKY THAT WITHOUT ROONEY THEY HAVE SCORED 11 GOALS IN 11 GAMES WITH HIM THEY HAVE SCORED 57 GOAlS IN 23 GAMES SEEMS ROONEY IS NOW THE KEY PLAYER NOT RONALDO

aisuru · 02-16-2008, 05:26 PM

gonny switch your caps lock off please? there's no need to shout.

R_9-Ronaldo · 02-21-2008, 02:01 AM

it's true without Rooney we're not even a real top4 team as you saw against City, Bolton, West Ham etc. All because Rooney wasn't playing

aisuru · 02-21-2008, 11:42 PM

it's quite sad that a team of ManUre's supposed quality needs to rely on one player to win all their games.

toonmagic9 · 02-26-2008, 10:50 AM

liverpool rely on gerrard to inspire them and without seem a bit flat even though torres can turn a game, ronaldo can turn the game for utd but rooney is the heartbeat of the team like gerrard is for liverpool and sometimes when they don't play the rest of them don't raise their game for whatever reason

aisuru · 02-26-2008, 02:19 PM

they need to get over that hurdle. there has to be somebody else in the squad capable of leading a team on the pitch when your normal leader isn't available. furthermore, it should be up to the players, as professional footballers, to motivate themselves whatever the game is. if they need to rely on one player all the time, then they should look to themselves to fill the role when it's empty.

djx · 04-29-2008, 11:36 AM

and i think that united did not take the chelsea game as serious as they could of!

just my thought

toonmagic9 · 04-29-2008, 05:20 PM

yeah i think fergie was expecting some better performances from his squad players and they didn't really get going
