Seems worryingly slow - and he keeps on gifting the ball to the opposition. What's that now? At least twice in his first three games. Is he trying to replicate Fred?
Worried about this. When he’s not starting games as well, 6 months can go by and you’re asking what he’s good for.
As said before to the annoyance of many posters, he aint taking mct's spot any time soon. He also seems a tad bit slow....hopefully through the europa games he can get fit because at the moment he is way off it.
What was his pre season with Madrid? Genuine question. Did he actually take part?
As erratic as he might have been once in a while, Matic was not that careless with the ball.
incredible stuff.
Why have I only just seen all these?
The feck would any United fan be in two minds
You’d want him to succeed, who gives a monkies toss about being proven right on a fecking online forum?
I'll let you all off as you've only seen him play one full game for us at this point, but come back to me in a couple of months and you'll have realised my prediction was completely accurate. He's finished at this level and we are in big trouble if we plan on making him our first choice DM.
I get the idea not many people have watched Casemiro before. This is not a good performance from him, but its not an odd one or particularly bad.
His shots and header were reasonable attempts. Passing was erratic. Defensive play fluctuated from impressive to alarming.
He'll be just fine, I'm sure of it.
He did and also had MOTM worthy performances in the Europe supercup .
You won’t last long.
Cashmiro
You can't have him as the deepest midfielder during build-up phases.
Modric/Kroos were always routinely deeper than him.

In every game so far he's done stuff that makes you think, wow what a player we have but it's equally followed by extremely poor bits of play.
I guess he's still getting used to us and lacking some sharpness. Never seen him dribbled past as much as he has in the two weeks he's been here.

Like varane last season
Eriksen could fill that role nicely.
We might also try again for de Jong so that could work as well.
Love you mate
Stretches far too wide to win the ball back.
A lot of people called it when he signed, both rival fans and even some of our own. Obviously, most of us still hope we can see some class shine through. What other predictions have you made? Maguire overpriced when we signed him?
Sørloth is pretty fast though, so him losing that foot race was to be expected. Rather give Fred kudos for the work he put in alone against him and another attacker.
Casemiro’s passing is, however, terrible atm. Hope he can get his act together quickly as he he is a world class player.
Shades of Schweinsteiger (the United version) so far
He’ll be fine when he’s fitter and sharper.
If you judge Casemiro by his passes you are going to be disappointed. In fact, the less he touches the ball the better.
There may be times when he tries to take the initiative, perhaps due to the lack of a creator and he will fail because although he is not disastrous, it is not his task.
In recent seasons he didn't reach his best form until january/february.
This year with the World Cup it is difficult to know.

It's so funny seeing people thinking United got prime Xavi. Casemiro is a bulldog. Not quick on his feet or a misplaced pass here and there isn't that surprising.
And yes, lest season he bossed vs Chelsea away when Real Madrid set behind & had a disasterclass in the Bernabeu with Real Madrid trailing 3-0 when he was subbed off. It happens.
Well off pace.
Yeah Modric especially helped him out a lot. He, alongside all of our other midfielders is just not comfortable on the turn.
So if we bench Casemiro and we bench Ronaldo, I’m pretty sure we’ll have set a record for the best paid bench the world has ever seen. Our bench will take home more money than the entire opposition in most games. Waste like that is criminal!
so three years ago
He made a few mistakes but I thought he was pretty good. He certainly looked like he will be very good when he’s settled and match fit. I don’t know if the stats will bear it out but he seemed to get on the ball and pass it forward a lot more than McT generally does.
McT is doing okay at the moment but I don’t think he can keep Casemiro out of the team indefinitely; he’s just not good enough to do that.

Nah you're good mate you won't be promoted to post enough shit takes anyways
Think people are blinded because he had some sloppy giveaways. He was solid and looks to progress the ball as often as possible which is nice, but he also looks rusty. Not worried about Casemiro of all people.
I tried to explain that but I guess I didn't have enough credibility as I'm not a Real fan (altough I watch most games). Casemiro can have dry spells lasting weeks when he'll look that he can barely control the ball properly, and in his last 2 season he did have a slow start each time (VERY slow start last season, he was terrible). But he raised to the occasion when it mattered so lets hope for United he does that even if it's hard to know since there's the WC + no champion's league to put him in killer mode. When he decides to go for it, go forward on every play on defense AND offense he looks like such a force.
Was better before Erikson went off, but then that could be said for most.
Let's be fair he was miles off it but he gets a good few months before we should be making a proper call on him.
Yes, you have defined it well.
He can exasperate in his bad weeks but then he knows how to do it well in the important moments.
I think that coming from such a winning midfield has created a misconception.
I think he's also trying to impress. For example, the shots he made today (which were good), I think he would not do it in Madrid, where he would adopt another profile, and I think that little by little when he settles down he will return to the profile of a player who is not in the spotlight but is reliable
Your prediction?Who they feck are you? No one cares about your insane prediction. Go get the attention you crave elsewhere.
Rusty
That was a horror show tonight. Him and Fred.... Do they really start for Brazil?
That's got me really worried that performance.

I wouldn’t worry too much about his pace across the ground. I am very worried about how slow he was on the turn. He was getting absolutely rinsed by any Real player who who used even a basic trick or skill to get away from him. Which is kind of a disaster for the position he plays. That back heel nutmeg was an absolute humiliation.
