Who do you think was the weak link at the back today?

Keane. Because it's always his fault for some reason

Some of the comments on here are ridiculous

He’s just a colossal WUM. Sadly this site is full of them. Imagine the hours he’s spent on here posting stuff like this. Then imagine how sad your life must be to do that. Best thing is to to just ignore them.

He was poor today.

If he nods home that absolute sitter it's a different game today.

Didn't think it was much of a sitter. Caught it late and if he flung himself at it, he'd have hit the lamppost himself.

It's an absolute sitter. Moyes needs to give him the Koldrup treatment and teach him the basic skill of heading a football.

Yeh, didn’t need any new signings in January - we got, Beto, lindyhop and myko….

Shambles

 

[Mr Mig]

Hes not a right back

Still not seeing a "sitter" here. Kepa right in front, he's not really flying into the header so no real purchase, close to the post. Purely a "hits my head, see where it goes" job IMO. Looked the same at the game

I was in the LG, from where we were sat he didn't look to jump for it. From where my mate was sat in the main stand he said it looked like he tripped over his feet. Sadly it was as you say, "hits my head and see where it goes." The fella clearly cannot head a ball. Hopefully Moyes can teach him coz a player of his height should have that skill in his locker.

It kind of is a sitter. I mean he’s a centre half not a striker and it’s not one that you can’t fathom someone missing, but you’re not going to get many better chances than that in a game. He looked like he either saw it late or didn’t judge the flight well, he just didn’t meet it properly.

 

[Blue Smoke]

He was poor today. Especially first half, he lost his marker and they got in behind him time and again.
His crosses were woeful, and he should have put that header away.

 

[Blast_of_Cannock]

He was poor today, but still looked like prime Baresi compared to the Keystone Cop next to him.

 

[Neiler]

The Irish Michael Keane, there's a reason Palace sold him.

Micheal Keane actually played for Ireland mate.

It was a tie between...for different reasons...O'Brien and Tarkowski, the fact that some of the others in front of them were poor didn't help them.

Is Moyes still untouchable or can I say he doesn't escape blame for the initial setup and for expecting Tarkowski - on the strength of 1 decent pass last week - to play it out like John Stones.

Baby steps Moyesie, they're still dealing with not passing it backwards at every opportunity
