Christ I hope so. I get playing pragmatic football, fully onboard with the excellent posts above, but I hope we don’t see much of Keane next season. In fact, playing like this we could get a tidy fee moving him on and getting a more mobile player to enable us to play a different style .
Probably not, which is why I'd go along with the idea that improving midfield should be the priority.
It’s honestly a shame that we’ve been done by two wacky goals like that. Could have had 4 consecutive clean sheets since the restart. The whole back line have been excellent
The lack of effort and nous shown by the midfield doesn’t warrant and will never achieve a clean sheet though. They’re that bad
Can’t disagree. I’ve always believed that our defenders have been thrown under the bus since Gana left. They are finally getting some credit for the hands they’ve been dealt. Improving our midfield will go a long way in improving other areas of the pitch as well.
Agreed. I know people try and say we didn’t win anything with Gana so he can’t have been that good but we’ve had plenty of quality players who we don’t try and make that argument for.
Thing is, when you defend as deep as we have been, you do concede that type of goal. It’s not a mad coincidence, It’s a natural consequence of the way we’re playing.
