2018/19 Michael Keane

[BlueInNZ]

The amount of rotation in such an integral position is absolutely frightening. Keane is starting to make a case for his place alongside Mina in the long term, but whatever happens, it's going to be January before we have a settled partnership at centre half. And that's another reason for you 'trigger happy' types to at least give it a bit longer before you start drawing conclusions on Marco Silva.

This with a yorkshire pudding to mop it up. Our back 4 has changed every game. Against WH it was a totally different back 4 from the first game. Changed again today. 0nly when we have settled will we be at our best. Sorry to say that you may well be right, might not be til January. But Im confident it will be worth the wait.

Loved the moment when the ball bounced in our half and he ran under it then look alarmed and surprised as he was out of position.

Thought he had another good game today. Very solid, apart from right at the end of the first half when he let the ball bounce over him.

I really want to like Zouma but it’s looking like Keane and Mina when they finally unwrap the cotton wool from around the big guy...

Decent enough today apart from 2 mistakes.

Agreed. But show me a footballer who doesnt make a couple of mistakes in a game. He did well.

 

[zook]

Be made up with him if he turns out to be decent, hopefully he gels well with Mina. He seems more relaxed this season, hope he gets a clean sheet next week for all our sake and Pickford's sanity. We need to start getting a bit of consistency in our centre mids and defence if we want to to start progressing and becoming a proper unit.

I thought he had a good game today, best I've seen him play for us.

Really brave coming back early and throwing himself into challenges like the one with Cech.

He has been playing well all season, sadly tho some will hold last season against him.

 

[Tel001]

Looked like a 2m pound player last season, this season tho? He’s improved massively and hopefully with more games he’s will continue to do so . I think he’s played well this season so far tbh

Out of interest, does anyone know why that was a foul?

 

[AndyZ]

He had a goal saving tackle in the first half. Can't remember the minute but the ball was slid across to the far post and an Arsenal player would have had a tap in. He slid at full stretch and nicked it away. It was fantastic defending.

Yep. Especially as he was going towards goal, quite often you see an own goal from those types of blocks

I’ve no problem with any of our players today...".

You do realise that make you a member of a very select club

 

[Toffe3m4n]

Did alright again. He's still pretty unconvincing for me in general though, needs to be far more commanding and take more responsibility for that position.
