I love that 3 games is considered a goal drought... goes to show the quality we expect from ronaldo. Higgy used to go 6+ games regularly without goals. Mandzukic 10+ and Dybala often 6+
There’s no doubt it’s getting into ronaldo’s head a bit because some of his misses have been surprising. As soon as that first one goes in we’re going to see a totally different beast. An on fire ronaldo would have scored 4 goals by now so we have nothing to worry about. The guy is the GOAT and once he stops obsessing and pressurising himself for the first goal it’ll be a waterfall
All that matters is 3pts. Think we’re obsessed with this thinking of him scoring 50goals this season or something. This team will find its feet with Ronaldo and a system that’ll work, that I’m sure of. It’s the start of the season and Allegri is using players who he feels are capable of picking up points without using our full strength team.
Sooner or later (I’m guessing CL) we’ll be seeing an attack force of all Dybala, Costa, Ronaldo, and Mandzukic. Just not needed yet.
Yeah same. And as long as he plays well like in the first 3 games goals will come. Once he scores 1st goal, floodgates will open. He is always a threat for opponents goal and can create for himself which is nice to see for a change.
Obviously he's trying so hard to get this first goal, but he won't be put off. The guy is relentless. What concerns me more is that at times you see players looking to give him a chance rather than make a better choice.
I think this is because they want him to score his first. People like to pretend it means nothing, but getting your first goal for a new club is always a big deal. The sooner the better.
That being said, I doubt it's going to affect Ronaldo much. We're not talking about a player who needs to prove he's good enough for Juve.
Wish he had scored by now, but I'm not at all worried about him. He's a big, big threat up there in attack for us as opponent teams have to put several players on him at all times. This, as we have seen, opens up space and opportunities for our other players. It has helped us get 3 out of 3 wins without even putting in much effort.
As for him scoring, I have no doubt that the goals will come.
