I really feel like Cristiano Ronaldo should be in the starting 11. He is still a great player and there is no reason why he should not be played as a starting 11 player. His performance this season has not been well.

But there is also a big reason behind it. The coach does not have any confidence in Cristiano Ronaldo and right now it feels like Cristiano Ronaldo is a player who is more suited as a bench warmer instead of a world-class player.

For sure, CR7 is not a bench warmer and is best suited for first team. His in the first 11 of course but this way of coming from the bench is just some way for Ten Hag to making him go head down in the game. We all know he wanted to leave and as such, its hard giving your best in a team you no longer believe in or don't have a sense of belonging about. You've got to want it, wan t to play and CR7 is a player that is always after the glamour and seeking out his career objectives. How is he supposed to get that if not on the pitch? That means his got to want to play and coming from the bench can stimulate that. Either your team is loosing and you wish to be there saviour or your team is winning and you've got to share in their joys on the pitch.

He is in a bind after joining Manchester United. The statistics of Cristiano Ronaldo do not look encouraging at all this season for Manchester United. In 8 matches he has not scored or assisted. And I don't think this is going to change if the coach does not show enough trust in this player. As a result, I believe that the coach is not willing to show Cristiano Ronaldo enough trust going forward. This wouldn't have happened if Cristiano Ronaldo did not want to leave. The way he is being played right now for Manchester United is obviously not the way he wants to be played. I believe that the end of his career might not be as good as he expected because of a questionable decision he made involving Manchester United.

The fact is that Tuchel career as Chelsea coach was not so bad, during his leadership era, Tuchel managed to bring Chelsea to win the Champions League, European Super Cup and Club World Cup titles. But all the achievements that have been presented by Tuchel are no longer visible due to a series of poor results obtained by Chelsea at the beginning of this season. The last defeat that Chelsea got from Dinamo Zagreb made Chelsea Management take the attitude to break the cooperation relationship between the two, Tuchel became the first coach to be sacked in the era of Chelsea new ownership (Todd Boehly).

Graham Potter presence in the coach seat is expected to make Chelsea a feared team again in the Premier League. Potter has a good record during his time as Brighton coach, Graham Potter cold hands managed to bring Brighton to look good at the start of this season. Potter genius in strategizing managed to bring Brighton to fourth place in the standings list. Due to a series of good results that Brighton got, Todd Boehly immediately applied for a 5 year contract for Potter.

Chelsea's defeat to Dinamo Zagreb was just the final stroke that had to break Tuchel's relationship with Chelsea but there was a problem with Todd over transfers most notably the issue of Ronaldo. Todd wanted to sign Ronaldo but Tuchel didn't want him, so there was issues before Dinamo's defeat

As for Graham Potter, fingers crossed, let's wait and see. We all know how coaches like this turn out in big clubs. Example is former wolves and Tottenham coach Nuno Espirito, how he faired in wolves and after moving to Tottenham the move wasn't a great one.

We all often talk about players being ready. But we don't talk enough about coaches being capable. I really don't know if Potter is actually ready to manage a team like Chelsea. I believe that if Chelsea got Cristiano Ronaldo on the team they actually could have done better in the attacking department. I really don't feel like they scored enough goals last season. And I thought that is why they wanted to reinforce the attacking lineup. But as far as I know, Tuchel did not want to work with Cristiano Ronaldo. Because he thought Cristiano Ronaldo is too old and also not worth investing anything in.
