Will be interesting to see if he regresses again without Zouma's athleticism alongside him.

Had a quiet yet solid game today. Jags-esque performance

He's never looked especially bad next to Mina whenever they've played together and it was the same today. Don't know why people have been overly concerned about this personally.

Looks like this one will probably be a no.

Seems to me like he’s the one who was helping Zouma more than Zouma was him.

Some are never going to rate him it seems. Stick Zouma, Mina or anyone else next to him makes no difference, he’s an excellent centre half.

I personally would have made him captain. He’s one of the first names on the team sheet and rightly so, Coleman will come under severe pressure from Sidibe as the season progresses.

Great start to the season, as expected

Started where he left off, him and Yerry never looked all that threatened today, bigger tests to come though

Think it's a bit of a myth personally. Zouma might have had a yard of pace on Keane, but his positional sense and distribution were at times lacking and certainly aren't a patch on Keane's.

Both centre backs were very good today, both defensively and on the ball. If Mina's as intelligent as Keane, this could be a good partnership and their relative lack of pace shouldn't be an issue.

Hes our best player

What a turnaround for this lad’s Everton career. A rock at the back and long may it continue.

 

[4737carlin]

Have to give Silva a lot of credit on this, under him Keane has turned into a top CB, the manager stuck with him, even ahead of his own two incomings last season.

 

[Osamabindiesel]

To the haters dismay, he just might be a good player. Just possibly

 

[blueblue]

Silva also deserves credit for developing Zouma. He didn't have a brilliant start when he first came and had a poor season before that.
We have to be patient with the new arrivals. It shows that signing players already used to the Premiership makes it much easier for a manager.
