2025/26 Michael Keane


Branthwaite will just replace Tarkowski at this rate, he is out of form currently.
Maybe yea, tough dropping Tarky though but you might be right

I think Moyes might use it as an opportunity to fire up Branthwaite too though, and boost other players fighting for spots in the squad
Keane hasn't done much wrong to deserve dropping. Even one extra game after Branthwaite deemed fit would be a morale booster

I think you are correct though , as stands Keane has made the position his and Branthwaite will have be patient when he is fit again. On the plus side it means there is currently no pressure to rush him back into the side which would give his body longer to repair fully.
 

In an ideal world Branthwaite and O'Brien should be our starting pair, Tarkowski is good with a partner who is quick, Branthwaite or O'Brien. Keane is ok with a quick partner as well. The time has come now for us to get a proper right back in and make O'Brien and Branthwaite our first choice pair.
I havnt seen anything yet from o brien at centre back to suggest hes as good as the other 3. You may feel differently but personally I think the other 3 are above him in the pecking order at CB
