His gum chewing technique is probably the only thing that he can be proud of. Waste of a shirt.

He was woeful for the 2nd goal too. Fast asleep.
Lol , he not done that since Fulham game last season, his Mom must have told him off, I noticed Townsend is the gum chewer now but he don't slap his chops up and down like Holgate did. ?
I think he does have pace but hes not anticipating where the danger is quick enough.
Jagielka had pace but also knew where to put himself which is why he was a good defender and holgate is not.
….amazed when somebody posted; ‘the only thing he has is pace’.

Will only ever be a second choice right back imho
Do feel sorry for him and Ben Godfrey though. As a young aspiring centre back you really need a quality, seasoned pro to boss you about, tell you where to be, keep you on your toes. But they've got Mikky Keane most of the time.

Pretty much sums up everything that has been wrong with this club for the last 5 or 6 years
!
Gone so far backwards, such a shame. Could have been a decent utility player but he’s absolutely brain dead.
Absolute liability is this guy now. Every game he is giving away dangerous fouls around the box and lucky not to give away a penalty last night. Comfortable in his contract and not giving a toss these days.
….amazing if he came out of that game without a booking. A couple of fouls he gave away were an embarrassing reflection of his inability to cope. He’s very lucky to be an ordinary footballer at this point in time.
He should have been sent off for two yellow cards. Erratic defending and always reacting because he's not intelligent enough to read a game.

You say that, flip side is Keane is playing next to two players who have no positional sense, go wandering, switch off and lose runners and can’t head the ball. Add to that a midfield that is wide open and constantly lets other team break through midfield running directly at the back line. Must be a nightmare. It’s hardly the conditions to be nursing through a young centre back partner - constant fire fighting.
The fallacy that it will just take Mina next to one of these two and all will be well is misplaced. Our defence is being exposed by the midfield, as it has for years. We can get better than Keane but whoever you play them next to, if the chaos in front of them continues, it will be a baptism of fire for whichever young/inexperienced centre backs we play.
Really disappointing performance. A chance to go "ok I deserve my chance and I'm going to make sure you don't drop me"
Didn't lay a glove on the potential to keep his place.
