2021/22 Michael Keane

[ToffeeTim]

Same way Keane is an international player and doesn't realise passing out of defence to a feller who's going to be instantly closed down and put us on the back foot is a ridiculous decision.

Both at fault, next.

City play balls like that 100 times a match without issue. Gomes should be able to control that ball easily

Gomes played for Barcelona. He should be able to control a football.

I don't think the defence was that bad. They were let down by the players in front of them tbh

I thought keane was poor. His positioning , his lazy passing, his misreading of high balls. He is a shocking defender who has 1 good game in 5. Relegation defender and throw holgate in and it's a clown show

When you have a clown show with the back 4 you cannot put gomes in to anchor the midfield. That's laughable and sad just like a clown?

Anybody being paid thousands of pounds a week should be able to control a football.

If fact, anyone over the age of ten should be able to control a football.

I agree which is why he's at fault as well, but Keane shouldn't have passed to him.

He will get caught out time and time again next week. To get a result against City your defenders need to be spot on. He'll be horrendous.

Do people still think he's better than Holgate? ? conceded the first cuz of him.

Not absolving Gomes as he was absolutely abysmal but it was a stupid pass to play to him. Yes we want to play out from the back but use your footballing nous - if it’s not on play the ball into the channel.

 

[Chrismac]

If Gomes cant take a ball into his feet, take a touch and move it on, then what can he do.
I thought that was the one single thing he was meant to have in his locker.

 

[Carlito]

I've never hated an Everton player so much in my life, and I've hated some Everton players very much.

Should be dropped on principle. A stain on the club.

He can do that. The pass from Keane was a shocker.

He can do that. The pass from Keane was a shocker.

Can he?

 

[ToffeeTim]

He can do that. The pass from Keane was a shocker.

It wasn't the smartest pass but all he needed to do was lay it off wide, either first time or 2 touch. He took a terrible heavy touch then tried to foul the player rather than win the ball. He made a right hash of it when technique should be the one thing he has in the locker.

His tackling is also getting progressively worse too somehow. That knee in the back thing was completely unprofessional.

I think Michael Keane is one of our biggest problems. The main centre back should be a leader, an inspiring figure, like Brian Labone or Dave Watson, John Terry, Terry Adams, or, dare I say it, Virgil Van Dead. Can you imagine being in a dressing room before an important game, and looking to Keane to inspire you? He must be the weakest centre back in the Prem.
