  1. There is a reason why Casemiro has five Champions League wins and the others combined have none. He is by far the best of them.

  2. No need to compare Casemiro to anyone else in this league. Think about united last season, season before, season before. He changed the solidity of the worst united side of 30 years in a matter of weeks and hasn't stopped.

    Rodri and Partey are amazing to be fair, but Casemiro would start in their respective teams starters over them if he were on their squads 😅

  3. This analysis is basis on current season but from past seasons I would agree cause Partey has to be top last night Rodri lost the ball to Kane that lead to a goal.🧐🧐🧐

  4. All three are great, but basically the point/argument for not picking Partey is because he helps control the game more than the other two… interesting that Rodri being in a good team is fine but it's a handicap for Partey. A little unfair.

    All in all, I think a lot of this comparison stuff is BS; maybe Rodri is best suited to City? Partey to Arsenal? Casemiro to United?

  5. It's no coincidence that Arsenal and Man Utd are the best teams in the PL at the current moment with their respective CDMs. It's probably the most underappreciated yet vital role and you can immediately see the difference when they aren't playing

  6. Those two clowns are talking nonsense. Casemiro is just as good as Rodri. His passing range and technique striking the ball have been brilliant to watch this season. Absolute colossus of player.

  7. Thomas is a modern day all round refined CDM, he does all the stuff Casemiro is known for without taking unnecessary yellow cards. And the icing on the cake is he has a better progressive pass stats than any of the other two players in his position. If I'm to choose between a reliable discipline CDM In Partey and one who is known for reckless challenges I'd never miss a Partey

  8. Use your words correctly. Country mile is an over exaggeration on stating how much better "YOU" think rodri is better. It's not even unanimously agreed yet you say country mile.

  9. These clowns don’t know ball Partey is the perfect CDM he is the best period when Partey was at Athletico watch all the games against Real against Casemiro mandem look like kids against him. Casemiro always getting boooked for slide tackles you rarely see Partey of his feet cause he’s so good at winning the ball and passing accuracy and completion is the best I’ve seen stats of him having 100% completed stats in games and it’s not sideways backward passes alot of them are killer passes in the final third. Rodri doesn’t even do enough of the defensive side to be classed as the best, Partey has the best attributes of both Casemiro and Rodri and still
    Does it better than both of them 😂come at me at your peril noob
