How quickly we can actually move, but only when it's panic stations :(

It's no different from watching our games. It is only when we go 1 or 2 goals behind the players start to get their act together. They must have learned it from the management then.
 
Casemiro isn’t 50 though. If anything it’s steady works class performances for 2/3 years yet.
Now they’re relying on a kid with so much pressure on his shoulders it’s ridiculous. They can’t take him in and out like Camavinga last year

But he will be in just 20 years!
 
I'm in disbelief as to why he wants to join us. Is his motivation only to try something new? If so, hats off for him. Not often you see that.

But I can't stop wondering whether something at Real is the real reason, or maybe a better and longer contract has attracted him.

No matter what, he will offer a lot more than our current options. De Jong would be a better number 8 than Fred, McTominay, Eriksen, Bruno, DVB and whatever we have. But even if we got De Jong, we would still need a DM to stabilize it. Now we just need 1 or 2 of our current midfielders to step up!
 
I can't believe this. How the feck did we pull this off. We'll actually field the Brazil CM now. Pretty neat.
 
Our biggest issue is we’re horrendous off the ball.
Our biggest issue is teams can just wander through our centre mid at will.
This signing would sort that.
Absolutely agree with both these posts. Our midfield had the issue of lacking individuals who can progress the ball. But an even bigger squad-wide issue is the lack of natural ball winners beyond the defenders. So many our midfield and attacking players run like headless chickens and get beat with just a shoulder faint. It is said that Klopp was able to turn players like Salah and others at Liverpool into better ball winners when they press. We need ETH to be able to do same with some players, while being able to bring in midfielders who are readymade in that department. Casemiro is that midfielder.
 
There's no way Ancelotti has said those actual words.

The journo has definitely asked a loaded question and he's replied "I can't reply to that, it's his personal decision".
Yes, the journalist loaded it to make it sound way worse. Ancelotti is a very respectful manager
 

This does not make sense.
Rodri does not progress the ball for City. What it simply means, ETH will tweak the structure of his midfield from the planned structure.
I suspect we will play a conventional 433 with one sitting player and two more advanced players. There have been signs of that from the last two games and part of preseason.
 
I wonder who out of all the Madrid players took the biggest piss out of Casemiro when he said his goodbyes, my bet is Modric.
