2025/26 Michael Keane



Keane ruled out against Man City.

UNEXPECTED QUESTION: Can Everton win without Keano?
Massive shame tbh as he's quite literally our best chance of a goal aside from Ndiaye. We need Tarkowski to treat Haaland roughly from the start, but unfortunately I can see him being thoroughly humiliated by the Norwegian, as most defenders do tbf.

….looked like Keane was involved in training pics so was hoping he’d be involved. Never mind.

As for Haaland, it was Ben Godfrey who seemed to play well against him and get under his skin. O’Brien might have more physicality and running power to at least be competitive against him as opposed to Tarkowski.
 

Michael Keane lovers please take note. That is why we are all incredulous this lad is still with the club after all these years of this god awful non-marking cowardly play.

Can't go as far as cowardly, but his lack of awareness and ability to switch off are astounding. Still will say it until the cows come home, Tarkowski and Keane together is as bad as it gets in pairing of centre backs.
 
….thought he did fine again yesterday.

Can’t blame the CBs for that first goal, it was down to Ndiaye not tracking his runner. When an opposition wide player hits the bye-line, everybody central rushes into the box. Often a central striker will hold his run, some will go near post, some will go far, whilst defenders are looking at the delivery.

It’s why a cross from the bye-line is so dangerous. The same happened with us when Grealish scored against Palace. Ndiaye hit the bye-line and pulled back that delicious cross, to an unmarked Beto, the Palace defenders did exactly what ours did yesterday.

One of them might of thought of marking the most prolific striker in Europe
