Casemiro

Obviously playing in a midfield with two of the best ball passing midfielders of their generation in Kroos and Modric for years didn't see him having to gallop about the place plugging gaps and chasing runners too much in Spain.

Probably expecting too much to expect him to turn into some lung-busting work horse who'll cover every blade of grass at this stage of his career, playing in ridiculously competitive , physical league. No wonder he looks a bit leggy.

Would maybe help if he played in a team that could have a semblance of control of any game... but he plays for Man United 2023 so naturally everything is chaos and he's reduced to the role of fire fighter covering for the absolute wasters up front and behind him.

We should be playing 3 in midfield away from home, especially if Eriksen is playing as he is a non entity defensively

he has been a disappointment and a average signing at best.
our midfield should be at least competent and he isn’t even being steady eddy.

Here in lies the problem .. Casemiro is the midfield .. not even City set up so speculatively away from home .. Eriksen + Bruno as 2/3s of the midfield against a WHU side whose only decent 2 players both are in CM is asking for bedlam ..

Has his head been turned?

What's happened to him?

Hmmm possibly…

Wasn’t there links with Bayern a few weeks back?

He doesn’t just look leggy imo, he looks like he doesn’t give a £#%&!.

He's off, heard rumours his house is back on the rental sites....

While I think he’s been shocking for a couple of months now he has played a ridiculous amount of games plus a World Cup and he’s surrounded by an absolute £#%&!ing shambles behind him and in front and is often left in midfield on his own.

Just to stop being out played away from home we should be flooding the midfield and just keeping things tight for 60 minutes then go for it…

And some want us to trust a manager who can’t even execute that….

Perfect game for The Scottish Player today. He will save our season if he can make it back for Wolves

I would not be devastated by this. Saleable asset that would command a good fee, we don’t want him stuck here on a huge contract with nothing left to give. We need 3 midfielders as is though, so the scouting/recruitment would have to be shrewd and effective..

Dutch and average players incoming.

He hasn't been the same since the new csgo beta came out. He's obviously up all hours hammering that trying to make global elite.

ffs

When does the Counter-Strike 2 limited test beta start?
The limited test beta began on March 22 and has no official end date. Players can keep track of limited test announcements on the Counter-Strike 2 blog post.

Coincidence?

Yep. Reckon his head been turned. Not tiredness. Had plenty of time off while suspended. Pissed off at suddenly becoming a marked man. One ref alone had him sent off twice and another yellow just now (probably deserved but one false move away from another red) He was fine after the WC and gone from brilliance to this. Bayern?

Hope he can pick it up vs Wolves. We’ve played at home once in the past seven games. Not an excuse but can’t be helping not just him.

He's fine but he's not a miracle worker. He's gone from Kroos and Modric to trying to cover for Fred.

Best midfielder we've had for years and people are now giving it the "not arsed if he goes"

Yes, he hasn't been great since the suspensions, but one of the first names on the team sheet. Just try and get some better names on there with im.

And if he goes to Bayern, you except a decent fee?

What? Do you think he gets better from this point? If Munich are offering what we paid and maybe more, you snatch their hands off and buy players with their best years ahead of them and miles left in their legs.

If money is no object then you keep him, but money is an object and we’ve £#%&! all else we’re getting money for, really.

The problem lies in whether or not the #@&%!s behind the scenes can spot a player and whether the nuggets doing the deals can actually get them for reasonable fees. We’re absolutely £#%&!ed tbh.

Munich are never going to offer that kind of fee.

They've only ever paid over €20m for 2 players aged 28 or over. €32m on Mane (30) and €39m on Vidal (28).
