2018/19 Michael Keane

He was absolutely shocking last night eggs he really was. The amount of times he's not ready for a pass, the amount of times he doesn't know when to go and when to get back, the mistimed headers, the countless misplaced passes.

No where near the level needed to play for us if we have any aspirations of becoming a better footballing side. Him and Zouma together look absolutely lost as a pair

..and the way Silva sets out his team means there’s lots of responsibility on the CBs doing their job because they are regularly exposed. I put him in the Tosun category of being ‘ok’ but even that is being complimentary.

Yep, 2 centre halves easily turned and once Keane turns he doesn't know what day of the week it is let along where he is position wise.

I'm being very kind when I say Tosun was utterly crap. You look at some like Glenn Murray, bang average striker with limited ability.... But will get himself about, make defender's drift out with him, come short for the ball, make a nuisance of himself. Tosun just literally glues himself to the defender ( but not in a good way like. Defoe would do then peel off and run behind)

Of course he can slot but it s blatantly obvious we ain't gonna be able to give him free 2 yard headers every game so he has to do more. He's got a rocket shot and in this league you don't get 6 seconds to set yourself and then shoot so he has to stay doing things quicker.

Massive let down last night and I'd be tempted to drop him again and try Richarlison up front who would at least draw players to him.

Leave Bernard on the left who is miles ahead of any other player we have football ability wise

Agree on Tosun. Rank bad. Should be a sub.

But as much as I like Bernard, he clearly isn't fit enough to play 90 minutes. He needs some serious work to get into the right shape for this league. I think he has to remain a sub for now.

...as I keep saying;

if you’re a CB in this league what would you think about the prospect of facing Tosun in your next game?

If you’re a CF in this league what would you think about the prospect of playing against Keane in your next game?

I suspect we know the answers to both questions. If you’re a CB you’re sleeping very peacefully. If you’re a CF, you’re like a kid awaiting Christmas.

I thought he looked a threat throughout the 90 Tim, still the only player who had a forward pass in him imo

A 1 legged Bernard is better than the majority of them, though I definitely wouldn't play him on the right
 

Went from being " okay " at the weekend, back to his usual " crap " last night.

Time to cut our losses, we need better.

He's good for at least one potential goal scare a game.
Even on Saturday, Fulham should have scored when Sessegnon sent him for the Echo.

I should just learn to ignore him, because I'm convinced that he's somehow going to end up staying here for years to come.

He ain't getting it and at his age he should, really cannot seeing him 10 premier League goals. But I do hope I'm wrong.
