I do put part of this on EtH. Casemiro - despite all the trophies - is just a player, a cog in the system. EtH has to be telling him to do his job for the team.That was absolutely criminal.
The caf is full of backseat managers demanding that Bruno and Rashford are benched. Replacing Casemiro with a DM who actually tracks runners (and doesn't give the ball away constantly) is what really needs to happen to make us a better football team.
It might just be amateur psychology, but I get the feeling Casemiro is playing like he's the main man, finaly freed of playing third fiddle to (one of) the greatest midfield trios of all time. And occasionally it comes off, and he's scored loads more goals but is that really his role in the team?
He constantly demonstrates that he has the legs to get forward, but he's not getting back and doing what made him so valuable in the first place.
EtH has to get these players to play better for the team. Casemiro: first job is defense, tracking runners, ensuring we stop conceding at the rate we are. Bruno: for the sweet love of all that is holy pass the ball to f*cking teammate. And so forth.
