Midfields??

Casemiro would absolutely start for us. No question imo. If nothing else we’re still in need of another experienced head and that bloke has done it all at madrid.

I think both midfields are likely to improve fwiw. Utd clearly have some work to do in replacing the older members of their team (and Beeky) but that midfield isn’t as bad as current showing imo. The club is just in destabilised by the uncertainly of ownership and allegations.

Equally I think we’ve only scratched the surface. Gravenberch is a hell of a talent if we can get him playing. Elliott is progressing all the time. Szobo and AMA are both quality players. Once they get used to each other and a system, we’ve got some real players in there.

I honestly wouldn't take any of the United midfielders at Liverpool
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Casemiro as DM would start for us.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Don't think so. Maybe a few years ago. Right now I think I'd rather have Fab back than Casemiro.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I don’t believe you…..

Why? Fab had one poor season in the prem. Casemiro has one decent season in the prem and currently looks worse than Fab of last season.

Anywho, the article is asking about current times and at this time you'd be mad to take grampa Casemiro at Liverpool in exchange for any of our midfielders.

Thiago is better than their entire midfield combined

I don't even think casemiro was that good last season either. Utd were overrun in alot of games much like the start of this season.

He had a few good patches and scored a couple important goals.

Very quick google search but last season Utd won 75.7% of games with Casemiro; 42.9% without him.

I appreciate those types of stats are a little dependent on who the opposition is, albeit there is a baseline standard in the EPL, but that is a pretty stark difference.

He didn't make Utd work-beater but they're are a harder team to play against with him in it.

Casemiro.....way past his best, slow and just ok now.
Mount...way overpriced and decent not great though.
Fernandes...very good mf bit lazy and a sht leader.
Amrabat...not a fkn clue.
Eriksen...way past his best, slow now but still quality
McTominay...underrated, every team needs one.
Van de Beek...who? Wtf did utd do to him.

Vs

Mac Allister....pure quality young only get better imo.
Szboszlai...WOW, everyone knows..nuff said.
Jones..ok, feel still 1or 2yrs away from best.
Thiago..absolute quality but...not durable.
Gravenberch...not a fkn clue.
Endo..solid performer, maybe a tad slow.
Bajcetic..outstanding player, going to be a star.
Elliott..improving but still not a starter in this 2024 team.

Imo....Liverpool win, and tbh...win easily.

Same is true of Antony. He didn’t make us wide-beaters, but…
