I see people keep on complaining about Erik not using Ronaldo and casemiro in the match, seriously I don't know why he didn't start casemiro, things might have been different if he started him. But people complaining about him not starting Ronaldo, even if Erik started Ronaldo they will still lose, i dont think Ronaldo will play anything special than what he has been playing from the beginning of the season, Ronaldo performance have been bad this season maybe due to his old age, or maybe he is having other problems but his performance have been very poor this season.

People need not complain because Ronaldo's exclusion from the match because it would have made no or little difference. Manchester City was in total control of the match until the last ten minutes. The pace of the match was very fast and I doubt if Ronaldo would have kept up the pace considering his age. The loss can be very frustrating considering that United have had straight four wins but I am sure they would bounce back. I heard coach Erik ten Hag has called for a meeting with the players for them to analyze what went wrong. United needs to solve its midfield and defensive problems because they really underperformed.

Mo Salah's contributions this season have dropped drastically, I can remember how well his partnership with Mane made the team so strong and fierce and it looks likely that the weight of the team and attacking strength now rest of his shoulders. Whether or not people agree with this the truth remains that Mane was a massive boost to Salah performance now the new signings have to fill in and put in their best to improve the team.

Sometimes you don't cherish what you have until you lose it. Sadio Mane might have been the engine room of the Liverpool attack and it is showing now because of his absence. One striking attribute of Mane was his selflessness and Salah was a major beneficiary. With his strength and pace, he would create opportunities for Salah to finish. But in my own opinion just as Foden and Haaland are enjoying their partnership, Salah and Mane were meant to be together. Mane is also not having a very good time in Bayern Munich.
