If he has to anticipate Casemiro giving the ball away there then he would never be able to go forward again....

Although with this Casemiro version, he might actually have to start anticipating that Manchester United loses the ball when the ball goes anywhere near Casemiro.

The way I see that ETH has enabled this playmaking side of Casemiro and today we saw the ugly side of it.

Zirkzee's touch has been heavy, and he's never where you need a striker to be. I have no idea if he's good or bad based on the few appearances so far, but I don't understand what position he's playing. He's often right on Bruno's toes, or even deeper.

I thought we looked reasonable until we went 0-1 down, it's looked a bit headless since. The lack of options on the bench is worrying. We're already threadbare and it's the 3rd game of the season.

The experiment of playing 10 v 11 against Liverpool has concluded, data in. Turns out it doesn't work.

DDG would have stopped the second goal.

Not just DDG. Onana just falls sideways.

Talking to yourself then. Literally not seen one person say anything near what you said. Perhaps put your glasses on elder.

Take of Casemiro Erik. Do. It.

Been shit since day 1 and not helping our midfield at all

He's a ghost, hiding from midfield. One of the reasons Kirkzee keeps dropping deep is because our midfielders lack options.

Coly on

Rashford too.

After the first minutes I didn’t realise he was still on the pitch.
He really is a bloody magician, David Blaine made the statue of Liberty disappear, Rashford can make himself disappear.

Bubz27 · Sep 1, 2024

How utterly embarrassing today is for Casemiro. Now Collyer on for him.

Buster15 · Sep 1, 2024

So what do we think will happen in the 2nd half. More of the same?

Red Star One · Sep 1, 2024

Case thrown under the bus, now it has to be better

TheNewEra · Sep 1, 2024

Collyer coming on because Cas is shit, Casemiro to Saudi then

There was no one to pass the ball to without looking. Ugarte would change absolutely nothing to what happened in this half unless he doesn't actually receive the balls that Casemiro received or the other players actually offer easy passing options.

Casemiro isn't good but it's not the issue and no one has been close to good.

Ugarte plays it simple though. He’d of at least kept possession rather than try that stupid ball that Casemiro played which cost us the first one. And he’s also miles better at dribbling so he wouldn’t have lost the ball that cost us the 2nd goal as he’s much quicker and better at dribbling

Losing 14 players and bringing in five doth not an improvement make

Nah, we had utter dross clogging up the squad that needed shifting for one reason or another. It's way too early to judge new signings too.

antohan · Sep 1, 2024

Good luck Collyer. Only reason to watch this second half now.

I was thinking the same. I even thought to myself at one sequence that he looks like Lukaku playing more deep.

Lukaku without the pace and goals

Heine · Sep 1, 2024

Collyer on for Casemiro

sixdwarf · Sep 1, 2024

Ten Hag making statement to board.. Casemiro off...kid on

Wolfbot · Sep 1, 2024

Liverpool have been sh1te, but once again we've not laid a glove on them and gifted them goals. So poor on the ball, it's embarassing how easy we're making it for them. If Ten Hag doesn't make some changes at half time, he shouldn't be our manager, simple as that. Can't just leave it as is or it'll likely be 3 or 4 by the end.

You can always trust in united to ruin your weekend. We are so reliable in that area.

I know.... could do with a bit of cheering up too.

Alemar · Sep 1, 2024

Collyer for Casemiro at half time.

MZX7 · Sep 1, 2024

Leaving out Amad and starting Zirkzee was the beginning of all bad things so far...

bosnian_red · Sep 1, 2024

The positives today I'd say have been Mainoo, Dalot, De Ligt. Mazraoui ok, Rashford meh, the rest tumescent. Casemiro and Zirkzee the 2 worst, so far off the pace.

edgecutter · Sep 1, 2024

Is amarabat still available?

Dargonk · Sep 1, 2024

Right decision to take Cas off, though baptism of fire now for the kid

redom · Sep 1, 2024

That half evaporated any positivity I had about the season.

Jazz · Sep 1, 2024

Anyway come on Toby lad

Not thrown under the bus at all. Casemiro gifted them two goals. You cant keep a player in if he just keeps giving goals away.

This could be a disaster or an interesting plot twist. Can Casemiro play ever again?

He lost possesion twice when we where transitioning into an attacking shape, thats when any team is the most vurnerable and you can't have a midfielder who keeps on doing that.

Did you not read? I added that Lisandro made a mistake on top of Casemiro's, not that Casemiro didnt make mistakes

Yanited__ said:
If that's true, why's he asking Casemiro of all people to do it? Surely should just be left to Bruno

Casemiro is deeper so first to pick up the ball when we get it. Bruno is playing higher up than usual because of this 4222 or whatever it is.

Abysmal pass then leaves us with 3 defending against 5. That just can’t be right.

Yes it can when in a modern shape for passing out at the back.

The key is the create artificial transitions or keep it safe when the pass isn't on.

Liverpool have been doing it, but are much better because they have been drilled for longer and are a better side
