Who will be mentoring who now seeing Mainoo look more experience and less rash than Casemiro
And Bruno the captain. Case needs to go to Ronaldo in the summer awful player these days.
In a whole, bad signing. Hopefully we dont make such signings ever again, poor value for money in general
If he doesn’t stink it up too much they will still want him for the name recognition.
It was only a slight brush, but he squared up to a guy going past him breaking against the cb's, straightforward yellow. Especially given that 2 mins earlier he wad wrestled a guy to the ground and lunged through him from back at the same time.
He seems to have morphed into the Fabiano of Liverpool of last season although he would always foul about 5-6 times before getting a yellow.
I said this last season. The refs have it out for him. Probably an unconscious bias of thinking he's a dirty player so they're less likely to let him off the hook for his first or second 'foul'.
I don't think that's fair, but I do think it's fair to say that the imginary trophy for winning 4 th place just doesn't cut it for a guy like Casemiro after his Madrid days. More so as he he likely knows he won't be here next season to reap the benefits from getting it.
Yup made even more annoying by what fellow Brazilians Fabinho and Fernandinho got away with for years. I think pundits don’t help either. They’re always seeming to want him to get sent off. Like Neville today was like “oooh he’s lucky”. He wasn’t. His booking was never a booking and the foul on Barkley was a 50/50 that he lost, doesn’t have to be a booking.
I agree with this. Compared with what he's done in his career he's now playing like a 45 year old in a pub team, and the odd pass shows who he used to be; but he's just here for the beer and a run around.
Rules don't matter as much after back to back loses at the start of last season. Was probably cheaper to back him than sack him after a big summer.
Sorry to break it to you he was subbed off.
... You've lost me on that one?
He didn't touch him. Why would you book a player for a contact that wasn't even dangerous and didn't happen ? The Luton player anticipated an obstruction but Casemiro stopped himself.
Looked like there was contact to me? He stepped across him and didn't pull out quick enough. Textbook yellow card.
it's ok you've lost me too,I agree on the circumstances of the challenges he shouldn't have been sent off but every football fan in the country would say that about their players,ultimately our opinions hold no weight in a football match where he was one more minor a challenge away from a certain sending off so was wise to sub him.I imagine you're screaming at the TV a lot then, as most teams have a DM (and often CB) who can spend most games committing plenty of fouls (not always given, such as holding at every set piece) without getting first half bookings - let alone face calls to be sent off so early for all their cumulative fouls.

I think Casemiro has been a reason why we've improved recently but he commits to challenges way to often he has no chance of getting to. The amount of time he goes to ground and doesn't win the ball or take the player out is hurting us in these transitions. Feels he just over commits and as he's the deepest midfielder we're cut wide open.
Don`t worry, he is always a slow starter, and he`s been injured, give him another 10-13 games and he might improve, you`ll see.
