I thought he did OK yesterday. Missing that one was his pitfall of the day, sure but he had a few nice shots that were saved by Olaf.

IIRC, Cristiano was actually offside when that pass was made. He should've timed his run better in order to both avoid offside and find himself in a better position to hit the ball better. Asensio made the right decision, it's Cristiano's fault who wasn't able to time it.
---------
Cristiano had 8 shots during the game and his only decent attempt on the goal happened during 20th minute when Ter Stegen made a good save and that's it. Cristiano had plenty of opportunities to pass the ball to his teammates instead of constantly taking shots from everywhere on the pitch.
Cristiano made only 14 successful passes during the entire game and contributed nothing for Madrid's game. When Cristiano doesn't score a goal, it's a norm that he's the worse player for Madrid. Most of his goals this season comes through penalties or from a cross where he tap the ball into the net. Probably why Madrid use crosses because it benefit Cristiano.

i doubt that. those two are easily Real's best outfield players. Together with Ramos it is to them that CR owes his Real CLs and Ballon D'ors.
It's annoying that, for a long time, Messi's success was credited to his playing with Xavi and Iniesta. You don't hear the same about Ronaldo, Ramos, and Marcelo, even though they have been as integral as CR in Real's recent triumphs, just like Xavi and Iniesta were between 2008-2012

As a second striker maybe, I just can't see him roughing up the defenders like Suarez for example or playing back against the goal.
We only play with one striker, well, Ronaldo kinda is second striker, but i think we should move him up as striker on paper.
Get one extra player on the left flank. Benzema is awful these days.

Didn't Zidane try him as a pure striker few times and Ronaldo was kinda bad. He is at his best when other players take the attention away, then he will just pop up and score a goal.
That might be so, but some of his best run of form happened under Ancelotti, where Ronaldo played as striker. Ok, we played 442, but still. Isco, Asensio, Modric and Marcelo should require plenty of attention anyways. With Benzema being as bad as he have been this season, for me makes sense to move Ronaldo up and bench Benzema.
But knowing Zidane and Perez, we will be back to The same bs with Ronaldo at The wing and Benz as striker again, probably against Atletico....
