His consistency is interesting. His moments of brilliance can be amazing.

responsibilities and execute them flawlessly. In his good defensive years (this is not one by a country mile) he tracks back hard and recovers well. Since Casemiro earned the starting holding midfield role a year ago he has relied (sometimes too much) on Casemiro to cover for him. Maybe the years of running have caught up with him? He can be pure magic and has scored huge goals for Real Madrid.

And there is James...what a nice goal. I miss that guy.

It always seems as though he's run out of fucks to give.

That's regarding the clusterfuck, not your post.

He's going to have nightmares over that one for years. Love the guy, he's played his ass off this year, but Neuer he is not.

Haven't seen a keeper screw up that badly in a long, long time.

He didn't realize his own player passed back.
