I think they are better with him and their problems lie with tactics/formation and too many attacking minded people who don't defend much leaving their 2 center backs exposed a lot on counters.
Also, my fellow Americans, do any of you understand how/why signing up for Peacock does not necessarily give me access to the same games that appear on NBCSports.com?
TifoIRL joining in on Ronaldo's defending.
I feel like this is a thing The Guardian pointed out more than a year ago when Ronnie was at Piemont Calcio.
‘Not good for us’: Bayer Leverkusen CEO on Premier League’s spending power
And while the prospect of English clubs outspending their rivals across Europe is nothing new, Carro fears it has now led to German clubs being forced to sell key players every summer just to keep up. “Of course, we are suffering from it,” he told the Guardian when asked about his fears over the spending power of English clubs.“We tried to buy a player in the summer and in the end a promoted side from the Premier League was able to pay more money and a higher salary than us, a top four side in Germany. The Premier League has so much more money and resources than any other country. This is not good for us. Definitely not.”
In the last five seasons alone, Leverkusen have made around £142m from selling players like Bernd Leno, Kai Havertz and most recently Leon Bailey to English sides. And while that may seem like good business, the one-way nature of the market troubles Carro.
“The TV rights deals are the ones that we have. It would be difficult to increase them. So the biggest change in income can come from sporting success in European competitions. The only other way is through transfers,” he said.
“At the end of the day you can make money from transfers. English clubs pay the transfers, we get the money, but then that just means the entire Bundesliga is like a development league for the Premier League.
“Even Borussia Dortmund have to sell players to the Premier League. The only club that can compete at the moment from the Bundesliga is Bayern Munich.”
There's funny, and then there's what Bodo/Glimt just did to Roma.
No-one was hurt. Personally, I love the brief delay between the collapse, the realization that no-one was hurt, and then the cheering beginning again.

Because NBCSports is a cable network, and you only get access to the streams through MVPD logins. If you don't have cable or satellite, you don't get NBCSports.
They previously split some off to Sports Gold, but it was the same thing -- access to Gold was not access to NBCSports.
I've been kind of pissed this year because only two Saints matches were live on Peacock (one was Leeds last week). They keep moving them to Univision, or NBCSports, or wherever. It's definitely not quite what they pitch in the sign up phase.
They will show up as replays later, next day I think.
Chelsea! City! No surprises!
Also, in the MLS, deffo a Yellow.
Paul Scholes.
Scholes. Feet. Ugh.
4-0 at the half.
Ole better have something spectacular to pull out of his keister.
Not surprised by Liverpool taking advantage of ManU's less than stellar defense, but 4 in the 1st half? Ouch.
What's Norwegian for "you're getting sacked in the morning"?
Things that aged poorly, and then aged well!
Pogba off.
I’m dreaming, right?
If you’ve anything you need to say to Solksjaer you should do it now.
I hope Keita's okay.
It's been a while since I've seen a team implode this completely. Ole can't stay, not after this.
Liverpool's passing totals are going to look like a phone number.
As a center-back?
Ole's nice, and a club legend, yes, but if Conte's available, if I'm United, I try and get that deal done today, if not sooner.

Can’t see Ronaldo being too happy with that choice.
It's not like he's happy now.
The MLS was on one with the goals this evening.
