but i have been saying it. we need a fast MF who can carry the ball and control/short pass as a minimum in MF in addition to casemiro.
casemiro does not help us with our midfield control problem.

have a look at the pool vs. madrid final last year.

look at home many times casemiro lost the ball or miscontrolled it



i spotted at least.

1:01 bad pass
1:05 bad pass
1:13 bad pass
1:33 bad pass
1:37 lost to mane
1:43 lost to trent
1:56 bad pass
1:59 - they cut it but was a bad pass
2:15 lost to trent
2:46 bad pass
3”03 miscontrol

from the athletic casemiro ONLY succeeded with 37/51 passes in the final i.e. ~72% :picard: completion rate.
72% and his limited passing otherwise is not enough.
people will wake up to that and call him a bad player.
he is not a bad player but he needs a modric/kroos (but faster)/kante type next to him.
head up, foot on ball type.

Brighton could have won by 7 tbh.
So could Wolves a few weeks ago. Tottenham in the second half.

We defo holding 5+ to either Liverpool, City or Bayern at this rate.

We got an "easier" fixture list now.... Apparently.

Oh well. At least the Milan Derby will hopefully provide entertainment. :blessed:
