Sarri if leaving players like Dybala, Costa and Rabiot on the bench whist expecting ronaldo to perform miracles on the pitch. Matuidi, Khedira and Bernardeschi are hard working but a million miles from being as creative as the players on the bench. If you have one threat on the pitch, how difficult will it be for the opposition to ameliorate it.
The issue with our attack last year for Ronaldo was we didn’t create enough chances, but Ronaldo had the freedom to basically do as he pleased in attack and play almost exclusively in and around the box. Which is why he had a pretty good season goal+assist wise even with our poor chance creation after October-November.
Sarri’s tried to put Ronaldo into a tactical system that doesn’t suit him and doesn’t allow him to expend the majority of his energy on that final product.

He literally was the perfect coach for our opportunity-signing transfer strategy.
Can't say the same about Sarri.
I don't think this recent strawman argument against Sarri is particularly strong because if you want to use the barometer of players' performances increasing or decreasing to evaluate Sarri then surely that argument goes heavily in his favour, considering the rejuvenations being felt all across our squad.
I think if Ronaldo misses a header from the 6 yard box in the Juventus shirt, you should just blame Ronaldo and try not to think too much.
