2018/19 Michael Keane

[Street end man]

He'll be forging a doctors sick note for Wednesday if he's watching Aguero today.

I do have doubts but if im honest I think he will get better offers than us anyway.
I’d like to see him play in a settled defence with the same players for 15 games.

That defence wouldn’t include Keane or Coleman.

Watching him i feel like he can’t play his own game as he is constantly going half’s on decisions as he thinks he will have to cover someone rather than just play his own game.

Spot on, he’s spends most of the game covering for calamity Keane.

Stick him next to a proper defender and you’d see a much more balanced player.

Holgate and Mina have had about 1 poor game.Keane and Zouma show week in week out their level and how poor they can be and only play due to try and keep consistency

Zouma is a French Ashley Williams but less erratic. He's bang average for me.

If Keane and Zouma are poor week in, week out and Holgate and Mina can’t get a game ahead of either of them, what does that tell you?

I'm not so sure. Open play maybe. But he is the main culprit at set plays. Zero spacial awareness.

I definitely would not be pursuing a permanent move. I'd be signing two new centre backs.

Van Dyke would have the dams problems playing next to Keane.

I'd try Mina and Zouma. Or three at the back tbh we need another Jags type he wasn't perfect but he could organise. Our defenders are silent and leaderless.

In open play yes. No excuse from dead balls.

Silva is inept?

Silva is inept?

He is for many reasons, but not because he isn’t playing Mina and Holgate at CB.

That Silva can't see it it's not working

Again, Keane is fast pace-wise, but his reactions are sooooo slow. He's also been okay in the air, but for someone that isn't amazing in the open field, he better be DOMINANT in the air.

I hated getting him, never have been impressed by him, and think we need a more mobile CB next year to pair with Mina. One that has some testicles and can organize a defense. Someone with some real guts and athleticism.

It would also HELP if we had a couple decent defensive players in front of him. I'm sitting here watching Rodrigo and Thomas Partey just physically overwhelm anyone trying to get through the middle of the pitch and I had to watch Davies and Gomes - who was good, just not on the defensive end - play yesterday. We need to get much tougher, meaner, competitive, while obviously not losing any of the skill.

Please mate, just give it up.

Why do you think he committed that foul yesterday. He’s terrified of people getting beyond him because he knows he’ll never catch them, because he’s really, really, slow. Literally anyone who’s ever seen him play knows he’s a snail, I just don’t know why you always claim otherwise.
