It's not like he lost us the game, it had probably gone already by that point, we were never going to score.
Excuses. He had a good game and made a mistake (which was a lapse in concentration) The midfield setup was ok, he was not overrun in the game at all especially as Shaw tucked in and helped quite a bit.Agree. He looked wrecked by the time he made the mistake too. Putting him with Bruno and McT is surely some kind of sadist act though. Bad call from the manager
He doesn't need it but it's a great card to have just in case. He needs elite positioning and instincts to make up for it.Honest question: Why would he need pace?
It’s true he wasn’t overrun and we had control of the game but our use of the ball was shocking. He needs smarter footballers around him than McT and BrunoExcuses.

I mean, the kid is showing he constantly has excellent decision making and composure. Not saying he's on the same level, but it'd be like seeing Iniesta breakthrough at Barca and thinking man, if only he were as fast as 90s Ryan Giggs. I don't think he's that slow and even if he was, a proper club would look to maximise his strengths by getting him a hard working physical type player as his partner. Which I have zero confidence in the club doing but I digress.He doesn't need it but it's a great card to have just in case. He needs elite positioning and instincts to make up for it.
I reckon him and Casemiro will do well together and it means Cas can probably sit back a bit more and do his thing. It'll do Mainoo some good learning from someone with that experience too.We desperately need better players around him in the middle.
Players make mistakes no matter the age and experience. He defo would have thrived with some of the players city have in the middle and how they recycle possession
I suspect it might actually be Mainoo who continues to sit back and act as our main passer from the back, while Casemiro pushes further forward a bit and plays a more offensive role than he has normally. He is actually quite a good goal threat himself, after all.I reckon him and Casemiro will do well together and it means Cas can probably sit back a bit more and do his thing.

Possibly, and Mainoo looks like his long term future could be a midfield sweeper role. That does come with a lot of pressure and experience helps with positioning which is something Casemiro does naturally. We'll see but with the season on the line in the new year Eth might play it safe for now.I suspect it might actually be Mainoo who continues to sit back and act as our main passer from the back, while Casemiro pushes further forward a bit and plays a more offensive role than he has normally.

Me too, think that would be great.I really want to see Casemiro and Mainoo side by side.
this boy is special. Can already see a huge role for him for years at the club. It was a very intense game but he was so calm. At 18, he played like an experienced DM behind bruno and eriksen.Assured again. Will need the occasional breather but he should be a feature in 1st team going forwards. Loved him pumping up the crowd too!
