Former Manchester United players Wayne Rooney and Roy Keane called Casemiro “lazy” after the Brazil star made another mistake that let Arsenal score the game-winning goal at Old Trafford.
People didn’t like Casemiro’s play as a substitute center-back in Monday night’s loss at Crystal Palace. He put Kai Havertz offside before Leandro Trossard scored to give Arsenal a 1-0 win.
“It’s lazy.” “He’s lazy,” Rooney said. “The rest of his team has pushed out, but they get caught.” He needs to leave.
You have to be ready to push out with the rest of the team, whether you play in the middle or the back. If you don’t, you play everyone against you and get in trouble.
Keane also said on Sky Sports, “Casemiro can’t play center-back in the Premier League.” No matter what your flaws are, you can’t teach pace. Also, some people were lazy about getting out, which led to the goal.
This doesn’t mean Casemiro can cover 60 or 70 yards; it’s just 10 or 15 yards. You need to step up the pitch. Just walk around. People will find out that Casemiro is not a center-back, which he did again today. It was the most important part of the game.
Another player Gary Neville didn’t like was Casemiro, who helped Arsenal score against Manchester United.
“Casemiro needs to get up as soon as he passes Amrabat.” Watch him jog. You can see the ball being played. If he doesn’t do that, he will get into trouble.
“Every good wide player does: he makes that diagonal run inside the full-back. Wan-Bissaka is caught off guard, and it’s an easy goal in the end.”
Because Casemiro had played the game before, he must have seen that the ball had been lost and that Havertz needed to get up a little faster.
The leader of Brazil’s Copa America team was left out, which made people question his future as a player for his country. Since United’s FA Cup semi-final loss to Coventry on April 21, the Brazilian has been filling in at the back.
Neville added, “There’s no doubt it’s not going to be easy for him.” “Before in the studio, they said he needed more protection, and he has.”
“That is a simple mistake.” You need to get up faster, and there’s no reason for him to walk out like that.
