2025/26 Michael Vincent Keane

To me it looked like Keane was trying to calm it down, absurd to blame him for that

Trying to calm it down with a headbutt

Comfortably bee our best cb this season.

Definitely had a brain fart before the sending off. But gana getting in his face was rediculous. Gana was completely the aggressor in the incident and a absolute idiot for throwing a slap.

Keane is literally telling gana to calm down and gana puts his face into keane's so he pushes him away.

You obviously dont like keane tbh im not his biggest fan but lets not make stuff up

I saw Keane grab his arm when Gana was getting off and then pushed him. Then told him to get off the pitch after being sent off (causing further agro).

Gana is a helmet for the whole thing, but Keane escalated it when it could have been stopped.

These are going all out, need to offer a threat on the counter

This thread honestly makes me feel like I'm going mad.

Watched it back 4 or 5 times and clearly it's Keane who squares up initially, and it's Keane who pushes Gana first. Gana is an idiot to react how he has and is equally responsible, but I don't know why people are trying to only blame Gana.


People act like Keane gets blamed for everything, to me this season it feels more like a lot of people on this forum are willing to perform intense mental gymnastics to avoid blaming him for anything.

Some people can't apply critical thinking and have a case in their head that thinks their views are more comforting.

Now I know what it must be like to live in a deep MAGA state - people just dreaming up falsehoods

You're allowed to square up to your teammate and tell them they need to wake up because they played a risky pass in the box instead of clearing it. That's part of being in a team.

You can't lose your head and slap someone because you don't like being called out on your mistakes.

Been solid defensively. Shame he trolled Gana into slapping him, like.

I'm loving that it's all about what Keane said now instead of the teammate who assaulted him

Agree some pathetic and agenda driven posts in here.

Absolute quality tonight don’t make a mistake now.

As I said I don't condone Gana's reaction. You're right, can't do that even if imo he shouldn't have been sent off.

The part in bold is what I'm talking about though. We're really blaming Gana for that?

Gana tries to play out from the back, plays a fine pass to Keane who is flat-footed and completely freezes resulting in utd almost scoring. Keane is squaring up to him because he doesn't like that Gana has just had a go at him for his mistake, not the other way around.

As I said the pearl clutching going on in here right now is insane.

'Assault'

You can't be writing this with a straight face

Yeh it's so rare from Gana to play a horrendous pass in his Everton tenure.

Every player has a brain fart, it happens - it excuses absolutely nothing.

Yes, he played a risky pass to nobody. Keane didn't make him do it, did he? It's hardly a fine pass if the recipient doesn't know it's coming and is easily intercepted in our box ffs.

It's the exact thing I'd bollock a midfielder for if they did it and had a go at me for not being in the blank space they played the ball. You don't do that in the box against United or anyone. It's entirely avoidable and all Gana's choice.

The entire thing is avoided if he just cleared it himself, which he didn't do but he knew he should have and that's what the discussion was about.
