Jamie Carragher Says 'Shattered' Casemiro Looks a 'Sad Sight' as the Man United Midfielder is Hooked
Manchester United midfielder Casemiro made two costly errors during the first half of Sunday's game against Liverpool.
The former Real Madrid star surrendered possession with a loose pass 10 seconds before Luis Diaz headed Liverpool 1-0 up in the 35th minute.
Casemiro was then tackled by Diaz moments before the Colombian made it 2-0 seven minutes later, and the former Real Madrid man was taken off at halftime by manager Erik ten Hag.
Former United captain Gary Neville and ex-Liverpool skipper Jamie Carragher were part of the Sky Sports punditry team on Sunday and both men commented on Casemiro's mistakes.
Neville said: 'I have to say he's lost his confidence a little bit. For Casemiro, someone who has won Champions Leagues with Real Madrid, it can happen to you in games.'
Carragher added: 'He's had such a great career and won everything you can win, and it is a sad sight seeing what he's going through out there.'
Analysing Liverpool's second goal, Neville explained: 'Casemiro just gets shrugged off the ball. Never a foul, he just nicks it away from him.'
Carragher said: 'A poor pass can happen any time, but the second one, getting knocked over, he looks shattered as he's falling over.'
Casemiro did not return to the field after the half-time interval, replaced by 20-year-old Toby Collyer.
United's fortunes, however, failed to improve, and they conceded again after the break to lose 3-0.
