Manchester United midfielder Casemiro made two costly errors during the first half of Sunday's game against Liverpool.
The former Real Madrid star surrendered possession with a loose pass 10 seconds before Luis Diaz headed Liverpool 1-0 up in the 35th minute.
Casemiro was then tackled by Diaz moments before the Colombian made it 2-0 seven minutes later, and the former Real Madrid man was taken off at halftime by manager Erik ten Hag.
Former United captain Gary Neville and ex-Liverpool skipper Jamie Carragher were part of the Sky Sports punditry team on Sunday and both men commented on Casemiro's mistakes.
Neville said: 'I have to say he's lost his confidence a little bit. For Casemiro, someone who has won Champions Leagues with Real Madrid, it can happen to you in games.'
Carragher added: 'He's had such a great career and won everything you can win, and it is a sad sight seeing what he's going through out there.'
Analysing Liverpool's second goal, Neville explained: 'Casemiro just gets shrugged off the ball. Never a foul, he just nicks it away from him.'
Carragher said: 'A poor pass can happen any time, but the second one, getting knocked over, he looks shattered as he's falling over.'
Casemiro did not return to the field after the half-time interval, replaced by 20-year-old Toby Collyer.
United's fortunes, however, failed to improve, and they conceded again after the break to lose 3-0.
