I know I’m going to get a lot of disagreement and push back on this but I don’t think he’s been quite the great signing he has been made out to be.
I was opposed to the deal when he signed. Another ageing playing at a big fee and Real Madrid rarely let players go that they feel they need.
For a while before and after the WC it looked like I was massively wrong. While he wasn’t perfect he was playing well and looked a massive upgrade to what we previously had.
Lately though, Villa game aside he’s been poor. If Fred or McTominay were putting in these level of performances they’d rightly be getting pelters.
It’s like the media and fans have a blind spot to his poor displays. Ince and Redknapp were bigging him up before the match yesterday and Ince actually said “he looks like he’s getting better". My thinking was no wonder you are a failed manager.
I actually think the fact that he had a decent run of unexpected goals and assists pulled the wool over peoples eyes.
He was dreadful again last night. No Even in the first half when we were decent he was constantly giving the ball back to Brighton and he was very poor in the 2nd half.
Misplacing passes, getting caught in possession , getting skinned by younger and quicker players. He was lucky he didn’t get another red card. His passing accuracy in the PL is 78.1%.
Dress that up how you like, that’s simply not good enough for a player in his position. He reminds of Pogba in some ways where he looks great when teams stand off him but can’t deal with any pressure on the ball.
I’m worried that he’s not the answer and will soon need replacing also.

As a neutral, seems only a few short weeks ago that Casemiro was being lauded as the best signing in the history of football ... now he's past it.

No Dave, that isn’t how he was being lauded.

My opinion on him is that he has improved us but he has been overpraised when he has had quite a few bad games
____________
He was praised and rightly so when he played well and many have referenced his dip in form since returning from suspension.

You seem happy that chelsea are doing poorly? Thought you was a fan? what happened?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Idk, it’s hard to support Chelsea these days. It doesn’t feel like the same club with the new owners.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
that's not how supporting a club works.
Also do you support or are you a fan?

OP you’re talking Kak! He’s been pretty good for us, yeah of late he may not of been at the levels he had been playing to and it’s not since the WC it’s since his 2nd suspension!
We would be in a far worse situation if we hadn’t of signed him!
1 star from me for a poor attempt at a “I told you so” article!
Now if you want to pick faults look at our attack!
----------------------------------------------------------------------
It’s not an I told you so article at all.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
What is it then! “I was right” article” ?

Really? Here's just one article, but plenty others around that time on the Man U board in the same vein ...
Casemiro

COMMENT ON THIS ARTICLE
Voted in the FIFA FIFPRO World's Best 11 last night in Paris.
What a brilliant 36 hours or so it must have been for him ... Match winner in a cup final at Wembley then sharing the stage with Messi and Mbappe in Paris the next night.
Not sure what Virgil van Dijk was doing on that stage too but that's an argument for another day I suppose.
Anyways , congratulations to Casemiro
The debate for the best CDM in the world is over.

That clown is one of our most stupid posters. No one takes any notice of him.

Fair enough.
For what it’s worth I think Casemiro’s a quality player. Dirty bassa, and probably past his absolute best, but quality nonetheless.
