3 wins and 1 loss in his absence. Not too bad even though the loss was against the worst possible opponent in the 4.
I dread him getting sent off again
May have to adapt his game a bit from now on
Having him and Erikson back is massive for the remaining games. Hopefully the break has served Casemiro well, and we can start to ease Erikson into games. His quality was evident when he came on v Everton
Apparently if he gets booked in the next match he is suspended for the following match
Feels like that’s been true in every match he’s played since September

Seems like he only has to look at someone the wrong way to pick up a booking. He’s defo got a target on his back.
Don't these accumulated bookings get wiped out at some point towards the end of the season? We must be nearing that point now.
EDIT. After match day 32 the bookings are reset. So he's only got a few more games to go.

Yes he might have to be a bit more careful, here and there, but these sendings off were arguably a bit soft and the first one wasn’t even during play. I don’t want him to lose his edge so I think I’d rather he carries on as before!
He’s talking about Europa League. He’s fine in domestic competition.
Time enough to get himself another dumbass suspension.
My baby is back. Let’s go. Should be fresh for the rest of the season.
Ah ok, thanks.
Is that gonna be reset after the quarter finals? There's no way he's going 4 games without a booking.
Him and Bruno need to avoid a booking during the quarters. If they get a yellow during the QF 2nd leg they would miss the SF 1st leg (if we get there). After that, accumulated yellows are wiped out.
He definitely needs to be a bit smarter with his tackles.
Thanks
Hopefully we have something like a three goal lead, if it happens. I guess ideally, and in a fantasy world, we have a four or five goal cushion, and then him and bruno pick up a yellow.
Lets hope he doesn't sent off again.
There is no way he can escape being sent off by incompetent refs. There are hundreds of contacts that can be judged as red or double yellows if ref wants it.
Bruno next to Casemiro behind another creative outlet in Eriksen or a never-ending engine in Sabitzer could be awesome, especially as Bruno seems compelled to lose the ball less in his new, deeper position. Proper Scholes-Keane feel about that.
If he does get a red again probably misses all epl games
How many games he will get banned for if he gets another red?
Was he this cardhappy at Madrid?
The 23/24 season.
He was mentioned as one of the players who constantly "gets away" with fouls. I also remember reading something about him reading about referees to communicate with them the proper way.
I don't remember him being so aggressive for Madrid, but he was always happy to dive into a tackle so I think he's just unlucky (I think both cards were deserved reds, it's just VAR-red which is relatively recent thing). He also has a lot more defensive work to do here.
I don't think this will be a problem for us. It's crazy bad luck for ETH this first season here tbh.
I feel like both of his reds were pretty unfortunate as we've seen separate incidents not punished in the same manner.
He's back. And Eriksen back already too. I am happy. I have spoken.
They absolutely were. Especially the red v Southampton, still can't believe that was a red and the manner in which it was given considering some shocking tackles that have happened since.
You only have to look to last weekend and Garner's tackle on AWB towards the end of the match. Don't think the lad meant it at all, but it was far more dangerous than Case's where the ball had taken most of the force out of the tackle.
Don't think I've seen it discussed anywhere even once, except on this forum after the match.
He got away with one there, probably because the ball never left the pitch from then until the final whistle.
Casemiro's red cards were unfortunate and mainly the result of poor refereeing and even worse use of VAR, deliberately only showing parts of the footage to make it look much worse than it actually was.
Yup, that was an absolute shocker. A miles worse red card than anything Casemiro has got and probably will have feck all done or said about it again. Unreal.
In both cases the initial ref decision was the right one, HOWEVER once you do look at the VAR I think it's difficult not to give a red in both situations.
"Hands around the neck" was just stupid from Casemiro, and the tackle was mostly bad luck the way it went.
3 wins and a loss without him. Not bad considering. Feared a lot worse. Suppose the Saints draw too annoyingly.
Yes, the referee made the right call on the pitch.
But, it was poor when he let carefully selected slowed down portions of the incidents and screenshots from the VAR official to change his mind, rather than reviewing the entire incident again and having the balls to stick with his initial decision. Especially at Palace, there were several other similar incidents in there and they honed in on just Casemiro, when the full footage showed a different story.
It ended up being poor refereeing and poor use of VAR.
The bolded part is the issue. Personally I think the ref had full right to send off Casemiro in both instances as the footage (once he decided to VARify it) actually made it difficult for him NOT to send him off.
It's quite a pickle for the refs to be honest, because A LOT of those situtations will show enough evidence to send someone off - going just by screenshots as they don't show the dynamism of each situation (hands around the neck is probably as good example as it gets, there was absolutely nothing in this BUT the rules are clear).
Therefore the critical moment is when ref decides to VARify or just trust his judgment (and we agreed in both situations the ref made the right decision instinctively).
It's a tricky one. We don't want two red cards every game but it does leave a lot of decision power to ref to completely ignore some situations - which actually can be impacted by many aspects like home/away fans for example.
The problem I have is that with the 'hands on neck' incident, a single screen capture indeed makes it look like he did that; however, if the video is played out, you can at least question whether in fact his hands were more on lapel than on neck - hard to say for sure, but VAR is meant to be conclusive, no?
Contrast that with the Podence incident, where a single screen capture would appear to show him spitting, but then the likes of Dermot Gallagher argue that no spittle can then be seen travelling from mouth to victim (I know it sounds ridiculous!) So it seems like Podence got the benefit of the non-conclusive doubt, but Casemiro didn't.
Hopefully his suspensions have woken Utd up to how badly we need cover for him
Finally Casemiro-Eriksen-Bruno midfield again.
Unless Erik decides to try Bruno on lets say.....left back?
