I would bring Keane back into the lineup. Its clear that coady and tarkowski are no better with 6 goals conceded In the last 2 games that we haven't been parking the bus. Keane offers more in attacking set pieces and needs to be put back in

Never going to happen.

thankfully

He's not even making match days squads which indicates a sale might be imminent.

OMG I forgot about Keane, been missed, we can't sell him to a relegation rival and give them a boost

One of the main reasons we were in a relegation battle last year, keep him as far away as possible from the 11.

The back 4, until last night, hadn’t been an issue.

If we had 11 Michael Keanes in the team I can guarantee we wouldn't be in this position now

We'd have been relegated already

People like to mock Keane and think it's a joke. But we were a better side with him in it. This is statistically true. So let's see you now mocking coady and tarkowski in the way you like to mock Keane. Bandwagon jumpers

Hes no worse than the rest of our defence

Without him last season we get relegated.
Without him this season we get relegated

Weve won plenty of games with him in the past

If he isn't playing then get him sold

He is, by a country mile. One of the few who’ve been constant under performers for years & one of the reasons we nearly went down last year.

Truly awful Centre half.

…the more fans go around the player blame game disguises the bigger problem.

Posters start mentioning their personal favourites when the reality is the club is very sick from the top and that ultimately manifests itself on the pitch. Keane isn’t very good but that’s not the issue when folk are literally arguing about who’s least worst (not who’s better).

The bigger picture is signing ordinary players on extraordinary contracts (Keane included). Whether you want Keane to play or not is like moving the deckchairs on the Titanic.

it’s time we won our football club back & realise the real problems.
