If you told me two weeks ago that I would be replying in a thread called Casemiro Performances, I would think you are crazy. Excited to see him in a red shirt. This is the kind of personality, leader we need in the dressing room. When it gets tough, I don't think we're going to see him sulk or drastically drop in performance.
We will definitely find a balance with him in midfield, people think there is just a Busquets or an insanely good press resistant CDM out there but in reality these players are incredible hard to find. He's good enough on the ball where he won't be coughing it up like Fred and Scott do when they are the first player to check for the ball. The issue in our build up play with him in the squad will be DDG and Maguire. Bruno, Eriksen, and one of McFred should be good enough to help us control more games although Casemiro won't be enough if we are aiming for top 4.
