Neville and Carragher criticise the Manchester United player for his involvement in two goals for Liverpool

The first two goals Liverpool scored at Old Trafford on Sunday came from a header by Luis Diaz at the far post from a cross by Mohamed Salah.
The match began end-to-end, with Casemiro setting up Ryan Gravenberch with a terrible misplaced pass that allowed Liverpool to break quickly.
The Dutchman then fed Salah to set up Diaz. Both Gary Neville and Jamie Carragher have criticised Casemiro for his part in Liverpool’s first two goals at Old Trafford on Sunday.
Casemiro’s blunder came just minutes after he’d aroused the ire of the Man Utd faithful by handing the ball away in critical situations twice in rapid succession.
Neville smashes Casemiro for loose pass.
Commentator Neville of Sky Sports was clear on who was to blame for Man Utd’s deficit after analysing the goal.
“Casemiro, the number of times he gives the ball away in poor areas, for a player with such experience,” Neville remarked.
This is his first attempt at a pass, and he is not under any pressure. Although Liverpool has made errors in some areas, Mo Salah is a class act, and the cross tastes great.
Neville and Carragher talked about Casemiro’s second mistake
In a few seven minutes, Casemiro’s horror intensified as Diaz caught him in possession. Salah then found him inside the box once more, making the score 2-0.
“Diaz goals, two mistakes from Casemiro,” Carragher remarked.
“If you’re going to win at Old Trafford when you smell blood, you have got to go for it,” Neville stated in reaction to Casemiro flailing his arms in the air in an attempt to get a free kick.
“There was never a foul when Casemiro was shoved off the ball. Liverpool has now switched to Manchester United’s back four.
Neville continued, “I would go as far as saying Casemiro has lost his confidence a bit,” just before the halftime whistle blew.
“It can happen to you in games if you are someone who has won numerous Champions Leagues.”
