2025/26 Michael Vincent Keane

[Vaughan]

He is our Maguire.

he’s the frankenstein’s monster of the moshiri era

doomed to haunt us till we die

 

[NathDogg]

I see the Micheal Keane fan club is in session.

 

[SJB]

Our defence looks more balanced with him in it.

Poor attempt at wumming.

 

[Gilbert..]

by that logic you could say mykolenko is a great full back

also a third of our clean sheets came without keane (villa, forest, bournemouth)

keanes had us on the back foot all season, he put in some very good individual performances playing last ditch defending but the team had to play deep because of him and was weaker with the ball, other players form, noticeably tarkowski’s , dipped when playing with him

i don’t want reactive centre halves like him in the side, i want proactive ones like jb and job who can win the ball off, or prevent a ball getting to, a striker, and who can defend higher up the pitch

No mykolenko isnt but people on this forum cant have it both ways. If you're sitting there third with most clean sheets its not for no reason whatsoever. Facts and stats dont lie. Between the managers set up and as a group they've kept the goals against column low.
We all want what you want as does every fan of every club. But you also have to work with what you've got. The whole back line have done ok and keane deserves just as much praise for that. And god knows ive slaughtered him enough in the past.

Michael had a couple solid performances throughout the season but eventually he started to revert to the Micheal Keane that is lethal at both end of the goal. He served his purpose but his time sucking it up on the pitch should be reduced with better options available

 

[Taifi gorm]

Like a terminal virus this lad.

 

[SJB]

Due a goal.

 

[ChesterBlue]

Why is he back in the team? Ffs WHY.

 

[Vaughan]

 

[NathDogg]

Knew he would walk back in the team, kin joke.

 

[tantavisiteler]

worst rating as per flashscore

 

[Walken]

Has shown what good professional back up he is, that being said he should still be 4th choice and not shoehorned in pushing another cb to full back

 

[SJB]

Thought he was decent today, did a lot of tidying up for us.

 

[Vaughan]

regardless of whether he plays well or not, we shouldnt be shoehorning obrien and brnathwaite into full back positions to accomodate him, or dropping our only right back who has been performing decently
