2025/26 Michael Keane

[RFUS]

Excellent form. Keep it up Keano

 

[roy vernon]

He's playing as well as he did in the Ancelotti era at the moment, has looked our best defender up to now this season. I'm not a fan of his, but, credit where credit is due.

We were on the front foot for most of the match, which doesn't suit his game, but he was very good thoughout. I've no idea if it's down to Moyes but he has looked so much better than he ever did under Dyche.

 

[NathDogg]

A few good games doesn't over ride the last several seasons of being completely gash

Good on him for playing well. Can't wait for Branthwaite to come back though

This all day.

Thought he would be a liability but, credit to him, he has played well defensively in the main, and was unlucky today not to score.

Back on the bench as soon as branthwaite is fit, cheers Mick.

 

[faddy the blue]

I'd pick him over Nesta on this form.

So does Moyes have a call to make when Branthwaite comes back? Because on the opening 5 games of the season Keane hasn't really been an issue has he...

I agree, on current form, you would leave him in and either give Branthwaite a few games on the bench to fully heal / ease back gently or drop Tarkowski and play Keane and Branthwaite. I love Tarkowski, but he looks a shadow of the player from last season, he may need a break to heal / recharge his batteries for when Keane inevitably has a bad game and his confidence crashes.

I'm getting the feeling he (JT) doesn't trust the full healing of his hamstring and might have been a good soldier and come back a bit quick for the line of duty. I also think there is an acoustic change at BMD compared to Goodison and his marshalling the defensive line isn't the same as what he was used to. Add in that the midfield are playing a few yards further forward on average than they were then the reliance on being able to squeeze the space between isn't there like it was.

Do we have the pitch dimensions last season at Goodison vs this season at the BMD?

 

[Street end man]

Could he have done any worse than Beto as our 9 yesterday?

 

[EFC_FRANCIS]

Could he have done any worse than Beto as our 9 yesterday?

Considering he missed 2 big chances himself, probably.

 

[Exeter_Gently]

I'd pick him over Nesta on this form.

So would I coz Nesta is 49.

This is how it’s done. Call a spade a spade. Keep it up Keggers.
