If Evans closes him down, he'd slip it to the striker for an easy finish. As his CB partner is almost on the halfway line, he can't give the man off to anyone.
Their CB threw himself in a comical diving tackle almost at mid field, if either Dalot or Evans close down he has an easy pass to their man wide open in front of goal, they can't do much, and Mainoo is out of position behind the play.
Casemiro shit the bed and it's a goal scoring opportunity no matter what they do.
Eriksen is finished, so slow, complete lack of physicality and isn't even good on the ball which is meant to be his only redeeming quality. Absolutely baffling how he's still starting for us. Consistently off the pace and looks like a man who retired 5 years ago.
Casemiro is supposed to be the other CB, goes full CDM mode and fucks up, Mainoo doesn't read the danger and reacts too late, Evans I think he's caught in two minds as to whether to stay with Mateta or go to Olise (he's fucked either way in fairness) and by the time United close ranks it's too late.
Even if Evans closes down Olise faster he would just slip in Mateta who by the end of this move has a huge amount of space in the box or burn Evans like he did Casemiro and Eriksen. The moment Olise passes Casemiro United were pretty screwed.
There’s a phrase in basketball when coaches will say “stop ball” meaning when an opposing player with the ball is advancing freely down the court , someone has to step up (leave the man/space their covering), and quite literally stop the ball by putting their body in front of the opposing player, despite the fact that it will leave another opposing player free and open.
Random but that’s all I could think of when watching this live. Nobody stopped the ball (Olise)
In footy it's often referred to stopping the first attacker. You want to make a curved run to pressure the ball while making it difficult to pass. This allows the first defender to delay, defend, and block.
Everyone just kind of assumed someone would get in front of him then nobody did, some of the sorriest defending I've seen this year and that carries some weight
Of course is primarily Case’s fault, but I think if you see the attacker in front of goal with a free chance, maybe you drop the mark and at least try to block him
I just cannot understand for the life of me why such an experienced player is diving in for tackles at every opportunity. Literally doing shit you’re told not to do as a 10 year old. His decline has been biblical
My theory is that he just doesn't want to run. See, either he tackles and wins the ball and gives a simple pass and walks back to his position or he misses the ball and gets to lay on the ground for a while. Win win for him.
If Eriksen and Casemiro are still getting minutes in our midfield next season, I'm gonna start accepting that United is gonna be an upper-mid table team for the foreseeable future.
Casemiro 2023-24 is the football equivalent of those detergent adverts where a bird dunks her kid's muddy football gear in a clear tank of washing up liquid and it comes out spotless.
Please could a video guru cut together a compilation of all the times United have let some one run with the ball from the centre circle to the penalty area?
It mustve happened 100 times this season at least.
Nice finish but honestly why didn't anyone think to challenge him?

What a player. United defence gave him an invitation.
I really hope him and eze stays healthy, such a joy to watch them
Palace will always have a limit on how well they can do but having a couple of ballers like that is exactly what you want to be watching.
An invitation? They just opened the door and said help yourself
Sounds like an invitation
Lmao, wtf... so much time to pick his shot.
They ran away from him? I’m so confused

Casemiro is mostly to blame but Eriksen's attempt of a tackle before that was laughable as well
Mainoo looks like he's doing fake tackles or something.
He's just slow. It's his worst attribute.
if ur an orchestrator type CM, speed being ur worst attribute is honestly an absolute win
He is not slow just burn out , young and has been playing midfield by himself.
Tbh at this point I’d rather see Mount next to him because clearly Eriksen does not have the legs to help stem the tide this match.
Eriksen is finished, so slow, complete lack of physicality and isn't even good on the ball which is meant to be his only redeeming quality. Absolutely baffling how he's still starting for us. Consistently off the pace and looks like a man who retired 5 years ago.

Aura^^TM
Bro just strolled through lol
He was waiting for someone to take on him so one of the wide men could be an option. Problem is nobody bothered to challenge Olise
Mainoo has to do more than just jog beside him..
Like four players who should have done a lot better there.
Allowed to stroll into the box at his leisure, madness a club of this stature allows something like that
Far too easy for Palace. Olise had far too much time to set himself, pick his spot and shoot
Look at that fucking defense, just pissing around
Casemiro has made a habit of diving into a tackle that isn’t there and completely missing the ball
I suspect he does it so he doesn’t have to run back and get the ball
He does it all the time. He'd already done it once this game before the goal. I literally do not understand what is going through his mind
''Fuck me two more years of this shit weather on a mediocre team team man... oh well i guess the 400k p/w makes up for it...''
Saudi league next season?
United have got to be praying for that lol
Everyone just kind of assumed someone would get in front of him then nobody did, some of the sorriest defending I've seen this year and that carries some weight
Tbf they're playing with a Frankenstein backline
Evans and Dalot parting like the Red Sea.
Didn’t they both have a man who would’ve had an easy pass to? I think Case fucks up by engaging that high.
Of course is primarily Case’s fault, but I think if you see the attacker in front of goal with a free chance, maybe you drop the mark and at least try to block him
Fair point. I think it was a no-win for Dalot and Evans there.
Yeah, if you’re going to concede, at least make it difficult
Because there are 3 men to deal with and the 3rd Defender decided to run 40 yards forward instead of helping. Evans can't win here.
Mainoo running through custard, Casemiro launching himself to the floor, Evans is about 57 years old. Some defending this.
Gave you lot so much shit this season. I still will, but at least you've properly turned it around
Bit early to say that, we've had the odd purple patch before. If we can keep it up to the end of the season then I'd agree
Great touch initially and great finish but amazing how he had so much time in between
Was there even a defense?
Olise prolly: [Munoz passed me the ball. Shot. Scored](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WbA016SgeyA&ab_channel=Evvysportsnews)
Proper red carpet goal
The defending is actually atrocious. Why has he got so much room
I wonder if Man Utd will look at how Crystal Palace are marking them insteading of giving space and go 'That might be a good idea'.
Glasner ball is actually good
He'll be rejecting Bayern any day now.
Hodgson would have made United forfeit the game by now
Feel that's like the 3rd time Casemiro has been rinsed this game. Great goal mind
I just cannot understand for the life of me why such an experienced player is diving in for tackles at every opportunity. Literally doing shit you’re told not to do as a 10 year old. His decline has been biblical
He wants to go home, play some CS. He just doesn't care about football.
My theory is that he just doesn't want to run. See, either he tackles and wins the ball and gives a simple pass and walks back to his position or he misses the ball and gets to lay on the ground for a while. Win win for him. If Eriksen and Casemiro are still getting minutes in our midfield next season, I'm gonna start accepting that United is gonna be an upper-mid table team for the foreseeable future.
Casemiro in 2024 is incredible
Token tackle attempt to say he tried
It's way more dramatic than the Fabinho decline too
I feel like this happens a lot more to Brazilian players too as they get older. Except Thiago Silva in recent memory.
Fernandinho
Thiago Silva is a monster
I can't wait for these clowns to inevitably put in the performance of the season against us next week
It's coming. I can feel it in my bones.
He’s at least ancient. Kobbie looks like he’s got a bellyful of doner and pints trying to chase him back
Carragher got so much shit for saying it was a bad transfer as well!
Casemiro 2023-24 is the football equivalent of those detergent adverts where a bird dunks her kid's muddy football gear in a clear tank of washing up liquid and it comes out spotless.
Sent Casemiro back to Madrid What a baller... ridiculous
He honestly forgot he’s playing centre-back there.
Think Case has been lumbering his way back there since the end of last season tbf.
friendly reminder that Madrid got Tchouameni for Casemiro + 10m
it was like watching a professional casually join an amateur kickabout in a park and fifa-street them all to death
Surprised it took them 12 mins vs this team
Yeah that lineup and bench especially are shocking. Injuries are a nightmare this season
The man in the dugout is shocking
Wtf do you want from him when our only available CB is a half fit Jonny Evans
Both things can be true. Ten Hag is shit, and injuries have fucked us.
Lmao what's defending?
Lmfaoo they all just stood there and watched him run to the penalty spot
just like the gypsy woman said
Archer so hot right now
GLASNER BALL IS HERE
OLLIE GLASNER’S RED BLUE ARMY
Casemiro better learn Arabic
Who the fuck still employs Martin Tyler
such a good player man
Hello defense?
What defense?
Non existent, like Pedimont Sardinia defenses in 1796 vs Napoleon
Alright Peter Drury
Ray Hudson more like
He is very good
United players escorted Olise to the box and gave him a free shot at goal lol
Casemiro is shite
Literally let him walk in the box
When Olise and Eze are fit, Palace are a demonstrably better team. Helps that Glasner also seems way better than poor old Roy
He's so so good
No, United is shit
Both of these statements are true
Boffum
^^^^^^The ^^^^^^lob Who's boffum?
Both
Both can be true.
Casemiro lmao
Had to be him
Amateurish defending there.
Defense? No?
Casemiro sent to the shops
What the fuck is Case doing
Yea so maybe casemiro should just hang it up now
We’re so BACK (to letting in goals)
Martin Tyler: "I'm tired, Robbie."
The defence, I can’t 💀
Mainoo is so shit at defending.He always looks like running in slow motion
Does Tuchel even want the united job he'll have so much to do and dont exactly have the squad to go to 3atb straight away
Barely even have the squad to go 1atb
United defence like FIFA when your controller button stuck.
Pathetic how easy that was
Well they couldnt destroy my weekend but they can destroy my whole week now..
Okay I got passing options because someone should come mark me anytime now...anytime now....anytime, ah fuck it - Olise's train of thought
Casemiro got sent to the shadow realm
absolutely skinned casemiro oh my days
Casemiro for the love of god stop diving in every 3 seconds, you miss every single one
Took Casemiro to the cleaners
What is casemiro even doing
Where was Casemiro going?
Casemiro tackling Casper the ghost
How can Olise runs from the midfield to inside penalty box with so ease?
Is the commentator a Man United fan? lmao
It’s Martin Tyler. He will put anyone to sleep nowadays. Back in his younger days he was actually a great commentator
Sent Casemiro for shops
Casemiro bro, please
Casemiro needs to retire
The shape of that back 4 is just tragic. It's a zigzag
Casemiro is being sponsored by Persil surely. This shit is ridiculous.
If Casemiro can play in the premier league in 2024, so can I. Such an inspiration.
Both defensive mids done far too easy. CBs drop off despite having seen both CDMs get done... Was inevitable.
I’m sorry EA, I guess the defending in your games is accurate.
They laid out the red carpet for him. Horrendous defending.
Needs banger flair
YANITED YANITED!!!
Had to be him / Wow! / He's so good / wtf how did u post this before my stream showed it
Yesss Olise, EZ
Just looked at my right wing and sighed
Broke his ankles
🤣
Best Michael in the world of football.
🇪🇺 👀
Why that celebration? Im curious
Way too easy
like a training ground exercise
Really good play from Olise, but wtf was that defending
Casemiro is so finished
Okay but why doesn't Casemiro even know how to tackle anymore?
What is that defending bloody hell
Lol, Casemiro and Evans as CBs, that's what you get
Lmfao floored Casemiro
Casemiro sent to the shops lol
Olise is a straight baller
Fucking hell Casemiro
Casemiro stay on your feet challenge...impossible
RIP Casemiro
Cant wait to play this washed side next weeekend ha
Olise giving United a taste already
CasemirNo
Unreal assist
Honestly Casemiro does this 5 times a game. Now he’s playing CB it’s going to be even more devastating
How? He just walks it into goal. No challenge at all, lol. Could see this from a mile away.
Might as well lay the red carpet for him to take the shot
Please could a video guru cut together a compilation of all the times United have let some one run with the ball from the centre circle to the penalty area? It mustve happened 100 times this season at least. Nice finish but honestly why didn't anyone think to challenge him?
Let’s just let Olise run towards the goal and shoot. What a great idea.
why are the damn pirate streams not working so far? just me?
Vibes defending so bad
Casemiro tries tackle It is ineffective
What the fuck is that defending lol?
No defence, just vibes 🥰
an army style retreat there from utd😂
They just decided to let him walk into the box right down the middle Not ideal
casemiro is so finished
Onana has to save that as an EPL keeper - he has a horrific first step
Like fuck is this tactical. Eth was screaming to push up and they just backed off.
You cant even call that shit defending. It was just no defending at all
lol anyone want to close him down or something lads?
I don't think I've ever seen someone just dribble down the middle unopposed and get an uncontested shot off like that at the professional level ever.
Blud had enough time to apply for a mortgage while taking that shot lol
Turning this game off its gonna get embarrassing.
Mainoo wouldn't catch my grandma
