Just a question of how many, I fact is to score a couple so hopefully we will come away with something. Can see it being a high scoring game 2-2 or 3-2. Silva never defends tho so I’d be leaning toward a Man U win if I was betting, hopefully I’m wrong and we get a bit of luck , Pickford plays well and we get a couple of well timed goals

Personally think Keane has been very good recently but I'm having horrible flashbacks to when Lukaku rolled him and banged one in against Burnley a few years ago

They complement each other really well.
Zouma has that pace over distance that Keane evidently doesn't have, and I think Keane has grown into the role of being the 'leader' out of the two really well.
Martial/Rashford/Lukaku will be a huge test at the weekend though, even with Utd playing badly.
It doesn't hurt either Zouma or Keane to have serious competition behind them, as well.

I think Mina is seen as the 1st choice going forward so its interesting to see if Silva prefers Keane as backup to him and Zouma/Holgate in the other position
If hes happy with that then its 2 CB positions sorted which would have been unheard of back in the summer.
Yep.
Just looking at it objectively, I think Zouma's pace has to be the deciding factor.
We'll see how Mina does with Keane when he comes in for Zouma in a few weeks (Chelsea).
Like someone else mentioned, while I don't want to mess with a good thing, Zouma has to drop out for that game so it may be a good idea to get Mina in with Keane for the game at home to Brighton, who aren't exactly blessed with pace in the central striker role, in order to have them work together before the Chelsea game.
Holgate is 4th choice CB
It’ll be Mina with Zouma / Keane and Holgate as backup
How about a song done for him to "I love rock n roll"?
We love Kurt Zouma
Playing in Blue for the Toffees baby
Not sure what the rest would be

Theres no such thing as a '4th choice'.
Its about partnerships + you cant play Keane and Mina together so zouma/holgate and Mina/Keane are the choices.
Great in theory , but when one of the 4 is miles behind the other 3 it goes out the window
I know Holgate is the youngest of the 3 and that’s why you rate him , but he’s miles behind the other 3
Well we don't know if Mina and Keane can play together or not, Zat. There's no evidence either way.
It's a safe assumption that both of them are similar in terms of their strengths and weaknesses, yes, but we don't know for sure.
It's why I'd try it out against Brighton. If it works, ace, although Chelsea would obviously be a different test yet again. If it doesn't work, then we know that maybe we need Holgate to come in for that game against Chelsea.
It's a tough balancing act but against Chelsea I highly doubt we'll play a high line. It would be criminal to do so against a Sarri side regardless, and especially given Hazard's form, so Keane/Mina's lack of pace may not be much of an issue.
Holgate needs someone there to be the leader I think. He needs that guidance.
Not sure we need anymore to be honest, Mikey.
