Man Utd vs Arsenal

There must be an u23 CB at Man Utd who's better than Casemiro. Surely.

 

I remember many on here mentioning and questioning the amount Manchester united had spent on a 30 year old.

Every time i see him he looks like he is pulling a caravan.

 

Manure are dire!

Playing him in midfield is up for debate, but playing him as centre half is just madness.

 

Watched Casemiro get torn to shreds at centre back against Palace the other night. Not sure why you’d watch that and then play him there again. I wonder if the Saudi league is calling him this summer?

Man U don’t look too bad going forward but look very weak defensively. Should hopefully be more goals in this.

 

Watching that goal it's clear either his legs are gone or he doesn't give a ****, or even a bit of both

 

Hopefully they keep playing him there until 8th (or better 9th) place is confirmed

 

Yup that was me that started that discussion, but some didn’t agree with me of course. Yes he’s had a good career and yes buying experience is often a good thing. The only thing that bothered me about it was the obscene amount of money paid for him. It’s deals like that which convince me that we’ll never be at that level again.

 

That league position and then a battering in the FA Cup final could well be the end for their manager.

 

Check out both teams subs benches

 

Does anyone hate the guy who is commentating. Every time a player has any kind of shot he cries out their name. It’s like when I play my lad at FIFA

 

United without 7 first team defenders. Without Rashford, Fernandes & Mason Mount too. Arsenal should have battered them. They've got lucky this season, played City first game without Rodri, De Bruyne and Haaland, second time without Stones Ederson, played wolves with 11 injuries, played Chelsea without palmer and gusto, their 2 best players. The stars are aligning, could go down to the wire!

 

Don't doubt that Man Utd are stretched, but they must have a better defender on the books than Casemiro.

 

Kambwala the youth player was on bench who eventually came on, though he had just returned from injury himself. Personally I would have just played wan Bissaka there.

Last season Casemiro was brilliant for them. Finished 2nd in player of year if I'm not mistaken. This season he has truly been atrocious. Extremely lazy, looks a shadow of himself. That goal today he should be ashamed, its not as though Havertz wasn't in his eye line. He saw him all the way. Completely unprofessional from Casemiro

 

Explain their logic in signing 35 year old Jonny Evans last summer.

 

Good job they did because they'd be playing 2 midfielders in defence today Rooney was spot on, he basically said some players hiding behind their injuries. He also commented on recruitment. Its truly awful

 

They have made some questionable transfer decisions in recent years.

Amrabat on loan
Eriksson
Van de Beek
Onana
Mount
Antony

plus the situations with Sancho and Greenwood

 

Biggest questionable transfer by a mile is Antony and how much they actually spent on him is insane!!
