2024/25 Michael Vincent Keane

[GoldenToffee]

He shouldn't be allowed to grace the famous Goodison turf in its final two games, it would massively taint its incredible history and take the gloss of the successes that have been enjoyed in the grand old lady.

The biggest problem with Keane is he brings chaos to the defence, the other players don't trust him, how many times did he go for a ball yesterday and got turned then was way out of position

He was miles off the pace but saying that he always has been hence the booking

Hopefully off in June
He is a constant and assured liability
The game changed when he came on and gave Man City the confidence needed to win
Moyes mistake of bringing him on

Moyes does n`t seem to like altering the shape of the team. He brought off a center half so his answer is to bring on a center half, no matter how poor that sub might be. We had 3 options for RB on the bench yesterday, and had Jake O`Brien who has played in the center all last season for Lyon. He has said he wants to have a look at players on the run in as we are not in danger of going down and have little chance of moving up the table, so it was a great chance to see if O`Brien can slot in to the center and be a solid partner for Branners. But no he thought Michael Keane would be good enough.

Ultimately we're short of defensive cover. Young or Coleman need to come in but Keane is still a better option than Patterson.

Nope. "Mick Keggers" is getting it because some people wont accept we have a VERY limited manager.

Not sure You were this vocal in your backing of Keggers and slamming the manager, when the dychosaur was picking his favourite son constantly…..

Now if you want to talk about very limited managers your kopite, gravel throated mate is the dictionary definition of one.

I completely understand the frustration with Moyes sending him on. We could all predict what would come.

Setting that aside, it's just chucklesome that collectively we can't trust our one time marquee defensive signing (commanding our record fee for a defender at the time, I believe) who is now a senior experienced pro. A player with 8 year's service to the club who just can't be trusted. Who is still miraculously here despite being bypassed by three defenders signed for less than him put together.

I don't dislike Keane as a person, he seems like a nice man. But he truly does symbolise the madness, largesse and malaise of EFC this last 10-12 years.

Hope we never see him in an Everton shirt again.
He just panics the players and and it spreads. To the crowd
The moment he came on we lost are shape and looked a different team.

Doesn’t Moyes ask his coaches for their input on players, if he didn’t know how poor Keane is/ was/ and will be, Leighton Baines could have put him wise he had the misfortune to play with Keane many times.

When he plays, he was drawn out of his position but missed the tackle thus leaving a big gap in behind, and he doesn’t have the pace to recover.

He just completely empties his area/space constantly, making his teammates have to scramble to cover him - JB, JOB and Myko were all at it once he came on and looked fecked.

He is weak into every challenge, gets turned way too easily, muscled off the ball far too much and never looks confident when on the ball.

Marmoush looked like Zirkzee against Tarks and became salah/haaland when corporal chaos came on.

Really hope Moyes has seen enough and never picks him again, but I’ve said that about every manager we’ve had whilst Keane has been here, and they always continue to pick him at some point. It’s just depressing.

We all know the correct way to go against Chelsea is Jake O’Brien at centre back alongside Branthwaite, and Nathan Patterson in at right back. Let’s see what the manager does.

Not sure losing by two goals to this team, after their recent haul, with a squad that was on its a@@ for years is a result to cause massive consternation.

Neither is the result after Keane came on, everyone knows he needs to go (including you)...same as it ever was.

City aren't great.

 

[davek]

He is much less limited than Sean Dyche, we lost that game when "Keggers" stumbled on, as Thanos says" it was inevitable "

We lost that game because of Branthwaite missing a sitter and then being responsible for conceding the first goal.

 

[MikeH72]

City aren't great.

Why did you want us to throw the game against them by putting the kids out in December then?
