2025/26 Michael Vincent Keane

[SJB]

Cause and affect all of it but we had Leeds players all in their own half and Keane plays it back to Pickford

All our defenders were playing it back to him all game, it was a tactic we deployed, either to take the sting out of the game in the first half or building from the back second half.

Probably a record number of passbacks .

 

[Hinchcliffe's Corner]

Worst fan base in the league and by an absolute mile. Look at all the pathetic sheep in here jumping on the coat tails of a few clueless biffs who are trying to pretend Keane was the reason we lost here to suit a pathetic agenda against the lad.

He did absolutely nothing wrong here and was simply part of a collective poor performance by the whole team.

Get behind our [Poor language removed]!ng players you absolutely scruffs and try having an opinion of your own instead of trying to fit in and be hipster by following the opinions of others.

Haven't seen a single post blaming him for the loss tonight. Calm down Mrs Keane.

 

[Vagner Love]

Absolute sausage this feller, brings unnecessary pressure onto us whenever he’s in possession because he has to wait an eternity for the cog in his head to turn before he plays the usual slow 5 yard pass into the left back or to tarkowski by which time they’re already getting closed down.

I think he did ok tonight, not a bad performance.

He was horrendous

 

[Saint Domingo]

A complete balloon who set the tone by yeeting a 6 yard pass out of play for no reason. Got away with a lot tonight.

Moyes just confirmed we were playing backwards far too often in his interview. Clearly not a tactic from him. Just lack of quality from the defenders deployed tonight.

I can’t stand him but agree with this sentiment. Being honest, he was fine tonight.

 

[windymiller]

No worse than anyone else tonight.

That's not a compliment to Keane, it's an insult to the rest of the team.

Moyes also intimated it was a mistake from Pickford to play the ball to Alcaraz there, and his reaction when he did so says it all - that one's on Pickford not Keane.

I guess the follow up would be-who are we to play it forward to? Our 6'6" RB, our right footed LB who is a midfielder, our striker who has literal anvils for feet, or the two midfield destroyers that would rather play without the ball than with?

Not having a go at you, having a go at him.

 

[Bulgarian toffee]

He was horrendous

Exactly how was he horrendous?
People blame him for the back passes but they should focus on our awful tactics and game plan ( if there was any).
Plus, I think he was one of the few that showed some desire and urgency after their goal.

 

[Parker]

Crap as always.

As I say cause and affect. Ball should never have been with Pickford.

The fact here is Keane is clearly just trying to survive by constantly playing safe. Sideways backwards. Rinse and repeat. He’s just crap, we need to just stop papering over the cracks. We are a bottom half team guaranteed when he plays
