Don't forget Michael Keane was apparently playing like Beckenbauer in pre-season.
That really was some scraping of the barrel stuff from the manager wasn't it.
Keano apparently played out of his skin in these games...
Which earned him a starting role going into the season.
He then started ALL of these league games, disgraceful results where we let in 13 goals in 4 games - including literally being a central figure in two humiliating consecutive collapses.
Even up until last week he was still being touted as having played really well, good enough to on merit be keeping our player of the year and 80m rated centre half out of the side.
Honestly what a massive kin gobchite this manager is.
