I knew his passing was better than what people were thinking but even then I've been surprised.

I always envied City having Fernandinho cuz he would just sit and connect everything. Casemiro is every bit the same.

I guess he never really had to do more as he had Modric/Kroos ahead. It was playing CDM on easy mode in that regard.

Now he's out of there shadow he's showing he can whip the ball around too. I've been most impressed with his shooting. That left footed shot was better than most of our team can manage with their better foot!

It was two games too long for some.

Quite a few panic buttons got pushed here the moment Casemiro made his first mistake.

When Fernandinho played his best football for City, Casemiro still always started over him for Brazil which indicates that his passing game being at least on par isn’t surprising.

They were pushed well before that dude. He'd not even made it off the bench before people were losing their sh*t. 'On the bench. Madrid sold us an old dud' etc.

One of those rare players who goes about his business with little fuss. Always in the right position and never has to lunge into last ditch tackles, always there with an incisive yet unspectacular pass. We haven't had those qualities in the team since Carrick left.

He was sublime against Spurs and fits the first choice back 5/6 perfectly.

 

[STYLOISRED]

The thing about being the sitting midfielder in a team that plays possession dominant football is that you don't have to be a world class passer of the ball. Its a bonus for sure, but being able to properly hold possession and switch play effectively with neat passes is enough because you have players in front of you who can make those passes.
I am willing to bet that the initial jittery performance in his first few matches was him acclimatising to the intensity of the epl which to be fair always catches many new midfielders by surprise.

 

[ShinjiNinja26]

Absolute don.

Did not really think abt that.

 

[Foxbatt]

You can see the way he moves and jogs and sprint that he is a class player. He doesn't waste energy by being a headless chicken.

You should see the way he ties his laces

This move to united will benefit him far more than just a great pay packet into his thirties, he is being given the freedom to show his full ability as more than just a typical defensive midfielder and is surprising a lot people with how much he can offer in possession of the ball.

If you can see what kind of a player is from that from the way a player ties his shoe laces then you should be a top agent. Make a lot of money instead of on this forum.

I did actually want to be an agent

 

[Mr Pigeon]

he should have plenty of miles left in his tank after wasting so much of his career in a shit league for a shit team.

Any club that has to put "real and not fake" in their name is obviously compensating for something.

 

[Ekeke]

Emphatic way to win the Casemiro Vs McTominay debate today

 

[Kag]

Came for the cash, obviously.

 

[criticalanalysis]

Casemiro or

or Dan James?

You fecking beauty.

What a weak player.

 

[Annihilate Now!]

This man....

What a fecking header that was.

 

[DWelbz19]

Absolute stud of a man

 

[ha_rooney]

Class player. Brilliant header.

 

[el3mel]

His passion in the celebration. This guy is a different class from a lot of our players. He's a real champion and a winner, for once.

 

[The United]

Defensively, no one passed him.

Also, you can see why Real Madrid team kept winning the Europeans Cup again and again with quality and mental monsters like him and others in that squad.

 

[mu4c_20le]

Just briefly we saw the psychopathic murderer that he hides behind the shy smile

 

[acnumber9]

Brilliant player and great passion. Born winner.

 

[spiriticon]

Legendary celebration.

 

[Idxomer]

The desire to play this header

The disappointment after that we didn't win the game

 

[mu4c_20le]

This man....

What a fecking header that was.

70m header

 

[Robbie Boy]

Some of the melons in here who were desperate to write him off, have gone very quiet

 

[LARulz]

Loved the goal but his celebration was brilliant

 

[AshRK]

Monstrous player. We have finally replaced Keane

 

[royboy16]

Starting to make his stamp on the team,he was class today.

 

[General_Elegancia]

What a performance from him, a real top class player

 

[V.O.]

How the feck has he even done that, flying backwards, and getting enough power on it that the keeper can't even stop it after getting a hand to it? Incredible header.

Prime Ronaldo would have been proud of that one.

 

[CM]

What a man. Great player

 

[TheNewEra]

Beast.

 

[berbatrick]

Would have been motm even without the goal, outstanding

 

[Red Rash]

Massive flop

Still early days but in the last few games he has completely transformed our midfield. We have been saying for years that we need a DM and we've picked up probably the best one in world football.

If we can get a good 3-4 years at this kind of level from him I would say he could be the best signing we've made post Fergie.

 

[calodo2003]

Class player.

 

[Superunknown]

I LOVE him. Been an immense week for him. He's absolutely top class. What a fighter.
