2025/26 Michael Vincent Keane

[TheBigIguana]

Of course the second he’s finally out the team (he was only back in thanks to a long term injury) two midfielders go and get themselves suspended alongside another one injured, meaning Garner has to play midfield and can no longer play right back, and every other right back at the club is injured meaning OBrien has to play which means this utter clown waddles back in.

You literally can’t get rid of him. We could buy ten centre backs to start a season and he’d still find a way to get back into the 11 by about game four. Sick to death of seeing his gormless stare in an Everton shirt as he lets in another three.

He should stay in the team over Tarkowski anyway

Struggles to get back in the team now.

Would rather see Tarkowski benched if I'm honest

Lads been great all season and people here instantly praising him being out of the team. It's sick

Agree completely. Keane has been a top player this season. In our best 3 with Pickford and Grealish

Think you just need to relax tbh. We won a game, he didn’t play, yet here you are irate and shitposting about him.

Because he’s a terrible player. If this was some young lad who had just moved to the PL then it’d be fair enough to have a bit more patience but he’s been here 8 years and has been awful for the majority of that time.

Yes it annoys me seeing him in the team. Teams are supposed to move on their poor players yet we have kept hold of ours for 8 years. People can say he’s played well this season but we’ve still shipped a load of goals when he’s in the team. As soon as he’s out of the team it’s Tarkwoski’s best game in ages. It’s no surprise.

The future is Branthwaite and OBrien, and centre back cover that guarantees Keane can’t get on the pitch. The easiest way to do that is by replacing him which we should have done in the summer.

I just find it absolutely hilarious that there’s posters writing off Barry or Dibling as not good good enough for the PL based on a handful of games for us yet 8 years Keane is still a sacred cow.

He’s terrible. This team will do nothing whilst he’s playing in it.

And yet, I will say again, we won, he didn't play.

 

[Saint Domingo]

And yet, I will say again, we won, he didn't play.

But he most likely will be playing next game, which in my view hugely decreases our chances of winning.

It’s also typical of Everton that if any of Branthwaite Coleman Gana Rohl or Iroegbunam were fit and available he’d be benched but he always seems to have just enough injuries ahead of him to get back into the team.

Chelsea defended a corner v Arsenal and left 3 men on the half way line (even when down to ten). Obviously meant Arsenal kept several players back, and the box was nearly empty.

We need to start looking at stuff like that.

The only Everton managers I remember who tried anything like that were Billy Bingham and occasionally Howard Kendall, leave one up front and the opposition leave at least two back, leave two up front and it brings at least three back!

 

[Vaughan]

everything good he has done (and it is a lot) is because we’ve been on the back foot with him in the side

tarkowski and mykolenko looked miles better yesterday and we shut out a side who are averaging 3 goals a game

You what?

Before last night they had scored 10 from 6 at home (average = 1.67).

In 13 Premier League games they had scored 21 in 13 (average = 1.62).

Bournemouth have scored 21 in 14 PL games, 1.5 goals per game. I think Keane can sometimes make other defenders nervous and he doesn't always cover well for them but he has been better in his individual challenges so far this season.

 

[COYBL25]

I’ve been his biggest critic, but let’s not do the lad down, he’s been superb this season.

It’s taken a while for him to get here, but credit where credit is due.

It’s not when Keane is out of the team this season that we look better, it’s when we have someone playing right back, who can actually support the winger that we look better, as it enables the whole defence to play higher up the pitch.

Keane is a sacred cow? You make out like you are the only one that knows he is rubbish..

Every single person in here wants a better CB than Michael Keane, even though he has actually been decent this season. Everyone wails on about a right back because they want O’Brien to play in his natural position.

You don’t like him, we get it.
