Manchester United vs. Arsenal FULL REACTION: The END of Casemiro?! | ESPN FC

but in the end Arsenal fans won't care about the reigning ones, they choose that vital victory that means the Premier League will fall straight to the W. It can't be decided now with a City Spurs draw. It all comes down to the final. Sunday of the Premier League season, this is what Art Teta had to say after the game. We needed a result today in a really difficult place. Our history was not in favor of the result. There was a lot at stake today and we are happy with the result. uh for more information on this let's welcome the man who is about to leave after being at Old Trafford yanaga F off is with us Julian Ron we will also hear from them in a moment maybe I got too excited midweek as if midweek games are brilliant.

Weren't they both and you think so? This is what end-of-season football is all about today, it was simply turgid. Yeah, if you're an Arsenal fan you don't care, but I don't think I've ever been. For it to be very much a football match, particularly the way Manchester United played the chaos at Crystal Palace, the bottom line was about what Arsenal were going to do and you're right, all they needed to do was to get three points and They keep going and watch the dominoes fall. It's Tuesday, isn't it midweek? Spurs Man City. After five minutes I thought: "wow, they're completely suffocating United." I've seen them do it with other teams.

They couldn't come out, they got the goal and I can't blame them for that, but they were definitely in the mood to somehow get a result here today and in a sense that played into United's hands a little bit, who were clearly much better than they were. have been recently, although defensively, Casmir, the goal with Casemiro singing was terrible, but he made some changes to try Sh it up 10 Haag and I felt the

arsenal

where I felt the moment, not the moment. but due to the magnitude of the matter, they simply had to move on, they were a little more cautious than normal, they were less expansive, they were less inclined to press upwards as the game progressed, and they were more content to say one thing. a bit like what they did in the coffin, but against clearly a much better side, they said look, let's stay fit and make sure we don't do anything silly now, like I said, they did, they skinned them a couple of times, particularly down .

Right there with Gacho, although the final product wasn't great, but at the end of the day, if Arsenal had really needed a result here, if it was like a head-to-head, I think they could have got it, they could have gone in. By beating this team by three or four, in the end what they did was get the result. I felt like they put themselves in a bit of danger by doing that, but at the end of the day they come out to Manchester with what they came for and as a player, that is. all you want not exactly they're a little bit bionic yeah I really don't think ASA ever came back out for a second and that was made clear for everyone to see and I thought this was more of their approach was not to waste this yeah we .

We've got the United thing, let's not waste this, a goal gift that I'm sure we'll get in on and then again the focus becomes solid at the back, don't give them, don't give them too. a lot, but of course at zero point you know you're not trusting anyone to make a mistake, there was no real sign of that and you're trusting a blue lightning bolt from Manchester United and again, I don't. I think there was some real sign of that, so there was no reason for Arsenal to take the risk of betting like they do sometimes, sometimes, often, a bit of a risky back pass, there was none of that and I thought they did it.

The game might as well have worked with the second one, of course, um, just to make sure that unexpected Bol doesn't happen, but in this region of Manchester United, you've never, ever felt like that and the thing is. and the bar has been lowered a lot when looking at Manchester United when the game started. I thought, "Oh, United start brilliantly here, this is pretty good of them and then I stop and think, wait, Ryers hadn't even reached the ground, you know?" That's what the halftime analysis was like, wasn't it good? They haven't been that bad and that's what suddenly Manchester you know, as long as people run a little fast you think, oh United or well, that's how Bad, it's for Manchester United Yan, you were on the sidelines, not in the United bench, but watching this game was more of a spectacle in person, well, it was just one of those old-fashioned Arsenal type games, uh, which they did and but I love getting to games very early.

I love leaving stadiums quite late and you had the feeling that the Arsenal camp is so close now that the city result yesterday they had to go there and after the game the big relief. doing that what they did and while you were showing the goals, I mean I was sitting next to during the game sitting next to Yap Stam Yap Stam, the former Manchester United Center half legend looking at Casmiro running like me when I'm competing against the fish. uh and uh and but I think you were, I think Craig was with Casmiro too much.

I think Van Baka also in that goal. Yes, Casmiro was running like it was a Sunday race, but Van Bisa let Trar pass by, but. It was funny because at the end you felt like you had to look at your notes and you more or less didn't see any possibilities. Yes, there were some half chances but this wasn't a great game, it was just Arsenal doing their thing. job and then it is a big relief for them that they will go all the way and now they have to be Spurs fans for a few days and U let's see what is happening at the totm hospit stadium and the last spurious moment would be no Jules is a total of three points for Arsenal, taking into account how City looked yesterday, they will obviously still be favourites, but Arsenal still have a claim to The Bitter End, which is what they really wanted, not just before this weekend, this game today but from the start of the season because they are given a chance, so let's see what happens on Tuesday of course between Spurs and City and then next weekend on Sunday it will be City against West Ham and You don't see that West Ham at the moment can do it. they upset the odds up front but you never know and then Arsenal at home against Everton but at least they still have that chance and I think that's why maybe they were a little passive tonight this afternoon after taking the forward because, like the boys.

He said they want you to control it, don't make any mistakes, stick with it and win and then you will have a chance to not make a mistake, nothing silly, you try to control as much as you can in the game, that's how you were. It was never really in danger, let's be honest United weren't good enough anyway so you get the one win and then you move on to Sunday and Tuesday night you look in front of the TV and we've seen Arsenal's recent run in Old Trafford, I think. You can show that about most teams at the moment and how it improves considering the quality or lack of the opposition at United at the moment.

Let's talk about Casemiro. I didn't quite understand that United were playing well, kind of analysis that we had today, eh, I was like, well, it's because the bars are so low, because I admit I felt that way and then I thought, wait a minute, I mean , well AR, you said it, I mean, what team were Arsenal on, you know? you know, 10 witch faces, set it up before you get to CM 10, ten witch faces shaking hands, every manager in the last few weeks has had to shake hands with their head, it's been on their head, their chin has been down here, it's like I was awake, I was shaking his hand and patting his cheek.

Not bad. You only beat him today. I mean, that could have been it. I was. I was thinking five or six. Thank you so much. You could have buried me today. Yes, I was. basically saying: you know you could have buried me today if he wasn't already. Not me, I probably already am. I don't know, we've touched Casemiro before he even knows it. Casemiro on a 2-year contract. Happy Days, that's as good as we can be. In the game we can see how everything develops. 5 years. He went to look for me in Manchester. Now I don't care about the weather, so there's the financial aspect, which was his choice, but it has to be coming home at night and thinking.

I have spent my career working with these players and aspiring to be in all these major tournaments to the death fighting tooth and nail and now I am struggling with this and the right or wrong of it is the attitude of him and many others. this has to be an attitude too, it has to make him think I just can't be bothered with this and this is how it looks recently that he just thinks, you know what happens if they give me three years left on my contract up front? take it and move on and now it was a bit sad just a follow up to what craig said yesterday this is casmiro playing for real madrid winning a lot of champions league trophies it's 75 games for brazil one of the best and so on and so on on his generation, but today at Old Traford it wasn't just us sitting there analyzing the game, there was just something about The Stance and they were almost going for him, you know they were going for him and then he did something to be fair to him, it couldn't be worse Let it be said, but he, he, got a little bit better, they didn't, they didn't challenge him too much, thank God for him, but it was like the crowd was closing in on him and I guess I'm not saying he's going to go away in the summer. because if you leave you have to give him a Lamborghini to drive from Ult Trafford, but today there was a feeling that this was the end of

casemiro

his legs have disappeared lately it seems that his body language is not good at all so it's this kind of things that are so sad when you see it's like a boxer in the last game you know we'll end up on the pitch you know and that was the feeling today at Old Trafford, a lot of injuries of course from Manchester United at the moment so , Casemiro was playing as a central defender, here's what ten said about the injuries and how they are affecting their team's performance.

He came out and said uh well, it's basically like trying to swim with your hands tied behind your back uh Jules, do you have any empathy for him? Not at all. uh, I understand the injury situation that we have said many times before, I had CA on the bench with a suitable center back, he didn't choose to play with him, I had Leandro Martínez, who wanted to play in this game today so he could be ready for the final of the FA Cup, they don't want to play with him, so it's okay, Casmiro plays there, he doesn't.

I don't want to play there, he told the ten, they already insisted on playing him there and Kaziro doesn't even want to be at United at the moment anyway, so I don't think he'd like the tag either. I don't think they just put it on, yeah. Who has the reason? I don't think he'll get on, he just wants to be fit for the Copa America, go with Brazil and never come back to Manchester again, so let's see where he goes because, as Craig said, there's still a long way to go. way to continue with his contract, so I understand that it is a problem, of course, when you have all the center backs out.

No, no, no, I don't deny it, of course, but again, when they had the ball and when they were trying to attack, you don't need centre-backs to attack, right? And you're apart from Bruno Fernandez, who wasn't here today of course, which is a big mistake, but most of your other forwards have been fit for most of the time. season and yet you are one of the worst attacks in the league among the big clubs, you are the worst at expectations, you are the worst at chances created, so, like me, I can take the injury excuse only so far point, but it's not.

The only reason they have been so bad this season, that they are on course for the worst season in the Premier League, is every facet of the pitch, even the goalkeeper. You know, we showed those stops today. I mean, come on, we used to C. Say those saves were for the last page, you know the cameras were flashing. I mean, my God, the way he threw himself at them was like he made it up. That's right, no, I'll give you the one from D from uh, not from D. I'll give you the one from Martinelli, it was a good save, some of the others, although they were, were for the camera, arcs behind the goals, look, when you reach Casemiro's age, it's What you need when you go to your club is people around you who go to mask your problems, they will help you in the situation, they will make it easier for you and what United is doing in this team without rights for each player is showing their deficiencies, any player who enters into your deficiencies has been exposed.

More and more because of the weakness of this side, if Casemiro comes in a good side, the legs don't look too bad, the body language is obviously different, you can avoid it, but you can't help it in this United side because every function, each operation. part of the team is dysfunctional if we read any of this one win in their last eight Premier League wins 14 Premier League defeats this season, the most since 1990 eighth in the Premier League table they have never finished lower than seventh before the 1990 Premier League in the lower division in division 1 was their lowest result, currently they have agoal difference of minus four, which is their worst goal difference since 1974 and, for Rob, salt in the wound, Jan, of course, we saw Santiago Babal finish this week in an incredible stadium, there are many greats. new stadiums all over Europe and beyond and then you have those images of the end of that waterfall falling through the roof of Old Trafford and I guess what a great symbol of how this great Club is falling apart not only on the pitch but off it as well . amazing it was like someone had planned it it was like Sir Jim Ratcliffe had planned the leak just to show that this is Ground Zero we start here it can't get any worse it can't get any worse he even spoke to the gods it was amazing and and again, I won't mention the name too.

A lot of Stam because Stam I talked to him and told him to explain to me why you think Tag is the right man. Of course, they are both from Holland. I know when Sola was a manager. I like a Norwegian. You know, I get it, but my last one. The question for Yapan was if you go to Sir Jim Ratcliffe and he says japam, you used to be a legend. This club, give me two reasons why I should go to this stand with this manager to be fair, Yakan came in with his Dutch connections. and all that says the same thing again, they won in a final, they won a final and they got to the FA Cup final, but I mean the roof, the leak, that's what you say, neria n Niagara, thank you, fall in the stadium if people enter the press area.

Then they were soaked and who likes to think that this is Old Trafford 2024. I played against the class of '92. I played against tin and look at this Manchester United team, this is where they are and they are all totally wet because of the way one of them has the worst press rooms in all the Premier League clubs, plus it's almost like a disdain that you, the press, even you know you're lucky to be here, here's the rubbish, here's the beef stew from ago 3 weeks. that all of this, I mean, it's been like this, you know, 12 years ago, when I was when I was still going, hasn't it, this leak in the roof was a big surprise today, it's been leaking for more than a couple of years, yes and this is the deal if you have a devastating LOF, a devastating LOF, calm down, they are not his real teeth, come on, you have a leaky roof and you live in Barcelona it is not a problem, oh what a problem if you have a roof with leaks.

It's hard for me to say and you live in Manchester, guess what it rains a lot in Manchester but not just at the training ground, we've heard stories about the training ground, how I've never said smashed roof before, well there you have a leaky roof. . Ricky Le Ricky's escape finally got to what do you mean I said devastating Loof that's what you started no I know yeah okay well done first I'm a cough what's up with Paul Yap St? You have to go see this right now. Give me two, stop talking to me, you're that fair, the press, the press rooms are one of the worst in England, no it got better, so the press box outside is really SM, to be fair, like that little room of press they have created.

It's the small press room, a bit cramped, but they've improved it to be fair, so today it's not, it's not bad, it's got nothing on Arsenal. J, you know, Jules, embarrassing look for United again today, yes, yes, there is a start. What you didn't mention among all the starts you read is that it was Trafford's ninth defeat this season in all competitions. Nine losses, which is the most they have ever had. The same in the 20s. They had two seasons. where they lost nine games in the 70s and one in the 60s and, by the way, they still have one home game left to play against a very good Newcastle team at the moment, so they could make it 10 home defeats this season 23 24. which would be the highest they have ever had in the history of the game, tell me how Eric Tanhai could stay after possibly suddenly, at some start, the worst season this great club has ever experienced before and only if they take the Premier League, they can't even get to 64 points, which is what Moes got, they can't get to seventh place, well they can get to seventh place, but it might be tough, like Moes did, so they might end up in the lowest position in history. in the Premier League era, which, again, how can you justify it?

Imagine Serim Ratliff again saying Eric, thanks for coming to my office, let's have a meeting to get you done. This is the worst season we've ever had, but I'm going to reward you and me. I'm not going to suck you
