You are right there, sits deep coz he is scared to be done in behind. How many times did they play(in first half)and allowed to play a ball into feet in the pocket between midfield and defence.
….thought he was fine last night.
Leeds forward were running circles around him at one point and the way he turns and tried to catch up with his handbags posture reminds me of Mr Bean.

So did I. He has awful games and awful moments but was fine last night. They had 3 shots on target and one was a pen that he didn’t give away. Still getting pelters though

Shocking performance.
3/4 moments that showed what he can do to the team:
1. Pass the ball out of play within a minute
2. Body shape all over the gaff before receiving the ball from Tarkowski. Ball has to go back to the keeper rather than round to Garner. Numerous occasions
3. Completely vacates his position to chase the ball in midfield. Leeds work it out wide and swing it in to where Keane should be standing. Lucky not to concede
4. And the worst. Can't find pass into midfield. Turns back to Pickford and then proceeds to gesture towards the front line for ten seconds. Meanwhile, Pickford and Tarkowski are under pressure 10 yards away. Unforgiveable attitude at any level.
On another day he is directly responsible for a couple of goals.
It's clear to me that he spreads fear amongst the rest of the defence as well. Never seen Tarkowski has hysterical as when he is alongside Keane. Never seen Gana so limited as when he is receiving the ball from him. Every season this happens!

Defence always looks ropier when he plays even if he manages not to make any big mistakes
He was not the issue last night and one of the better performers.

Fine if you are happy to set up the back line 20 yards deeper because of his shortcomings and then moan about forwards not filling the gaps in the acres of space given to the attacking team.

This passage of play was comical, classic Keggers.
There was a long kick from their keeper that he trapped under his foot, and it was the best piece of skill we saw last night.
Put him in the 10.
Put him in the 10.
….that will usually be the case when your best CB is injured and his replacement is playing RB. Let’s not forget, we had a midfielder playing LB so the back four is bound to look less secure. Despite this, we kept a clean sheet other than a controversial penalty.
Keane did fine, much more worrying problems elsewhere based on last night.

Give over.
He was dreadful last night, along with the rest of them
I've played enough football myself to know what kind of effect playing with a volatile centre back can have, and watched enough of us over the last few years to see that effect on our play. Technically limited, mentally weak, and his attitude stinks.
Love EFC, just not this melon!
Can't stand Keane but he was fine last night, not his fault. As for can't find pass into midfield that's because there wasn't 1 , the movement was poor last night , that incident your talking about came from us having a chance to cross and a few passes later back at Pickford. It was a crap performance especially going forward.

Think the whole setup stank from the manager down. He wasnt really challenged to much last night, so wasnt really involved.
I do believe as a unit the defence looks ropey when he is in it.
