He looks timid and bewildered and particularly yesterday he was desperately uncomfortable.
His duel with Barnes was about as mismatched as I have seen at this level and that simply shouldn't happen. We paid a big fee for Keane and Barnes despite being under-rated and hard-working shouldn't be giving anyone mightmares. It was like watching a 17 year old kid on his debut.
I have sympathy for his injury issues and affect of everything on his confidence but I don't want to see him playing again for us unless and until he can get it together.
I can understand that taking him off early would be detrimental to him longer term but after going one up yesterday I would have got him off after 30 minutes. We got warning after warning and Barnes' goal was inevitable.
Having just watched the first goal, him and Williams were equally culpabale.
Keane blindly follows the man in front, leaving a massive space for Barnes to run into, Williams sees this and chooses not to fill the space or communicate the fact with Keane, then makes no attempt to run with Barnes.
Pickford contributes to both goals too, by remaining on his line.
It`s such basic footy, it`s untrue.
For the second goal, Keane just just gets bullied off the ball, simple as that.
He needs to be taken out of the team for his own good. His confidence is shot to bits.
