Erm he’s literally the least slow and ponderous midfield player we have…
Agree with you. He’s very quick with his passing as he’s always aware of who’s around him. He moves the ball pretty quick.
 
Actually Fred has quick passing, its just his passes are usually wrong, he plays like he's on Duracell.

Getting out of tight spaces and quick passing are his worst attributes, because his first touch is so bad.

He’s either going to need three touches, or like you say, the pass ain’t going where it’s supposed to.

Whatever people think about his straight-line pace, he has about 4 yards in his head. He always sees to have a mental picture of whos around him so he can move the ball quickly when he gets it, but its when you watch him anticipate a move defensively and he just appears seemingly out of nowhere to break it up where the opposition were about to take it thats impressive for me. Absolute class act.
 
Great performance from him, had the most interceptions by a mile and was great in distributing the ball also. Controlled the game, Serbia never created anything through the midfield.
 
Richardlison is going to get Motm because that amazing goal but Casemiro was the best player for me on the field today.

The amount of ball he recovered today plus some amazing passes to. Unlucky to not have a goal to.
 
Best defensive midfielder in the world. Sixteen turnovers from midfield in a world cup game against good opposition is absolutely incredible. Nearly scored a wonder goal too.
 
If he can go like this for another 3-4 seasons this will turn out to be an excellent signing
 
Incredible! Madrid let him go a few seasons too early.

Played 8 seasons with Madrid littered with success and was a model pro, and they really didn't let him go, he just asked to leave and they respected his wishes, and they already got excellent young midfielders at the club.
 
Proving what a player he is again in this Brazil game tonight. Such an unsung hero.

Today's game I'd even call him the best midfielder, he was doing everything right.

I think he's just a bit unlucky in front of goal though. Another long range shot was straight at the keeper unfortunately.

Ya I can't think of another midfielder at this tournament that does what he does as well. If it was 4 years ago you would say Modric and Kroos as better CMs, genuinely can't think of too many others better than him at this moment though.
 
Which player couldn't play in that loss against Belgium in 2018? Yup, Casemiro. Fernandinho in his place was a disaster that game.
 
McTominay is twice the player of Casemiro

Or whatever drivel some fans were using at the start of the season when claiming Casemiro was past it

A bit too early with only one game played. But Rabiot on the other day was superb, imho.

Easily, because Casemiro is a family man, and McTom isn't married yet.
