Was Dunc right for hooking Kean?

[Lanolin]

Sorry boss, I'll check with you next time

No need mate, unless have a problem with people replying to you on a public forum? I’m just saying it’s irrelevant, because it is. Commenting on each others opinions is kind of the point of the forum I think.

for an interim manager to jist write off 27m is a bit more than 'bizarre'. Bad move.

It’s not bizarre.

The kid categorically has an attitude problem. Marco didn’t want him in the team. He’s already been dropped and publicly admonished before. Duncan has done this now.

Get him out of the club ASAP. Loan to Lecce in Jan, try to recoup as much of the cash as we can.

What a shame.

Do you know what's a vital part of being a manager at this level? Getting results, and Ferguson's got two great ones so far. If he needs to hook at 19 year old lad that clearly didn't look arsed to get that result then so be it. Inexperience my arse.

If he’s attitude is so bad why did he bring him on at 1-1 away at Old Trafford... in-experience.

 

[BlueToff]

Look at his stats for when he come on, he did nothing.
Ferguson was right, the lad with thank him in years to come, if he ever pulls his finger out

What was he meant to do ffs?

He was clearly asked to work hard and back in defence. He did that. Look at his touchmap.

Why wasn't he asked to play up front like Niasse when he came on, and move DCL back?

 

[Lelouch]

He could have dragged him to the sidelines first instead of just subbing him off.

Have you seen the stats of the rest of the team during that period?

 

[Rooney_Tunes]

Agree - it was terrible management.

Dunc is out of his depth and clueless about modern football I’m afraid.

No and No

 

[MercuryBlue88]

Really wanted Kean to live up to the hype, but hes got to learn football is about more than technique. Hopefully this lights a fire and he becomes the player we need him to be.

 

[ADT]

Of course he’s right he makes the decisions he could’ve told him to play at CB if he wanted to

 

[mahermi1]

We was getting a result with him on the pitch though

To be fair when he pushed Kean into the middle, he never w on a header, the ball was coming right back at us all the time. Proved right by getting a deserved point. Hard on Kean, but it will either make him or break him. Our front three who had been on the pitch the whole game, still outrun Kean, that must tell you something.

so our of his depth we have four points v Chelsea and Man Utd.

Love duncan, but that was a bad look for me, didn't do a lot wrong and hooked, will be eager to hear the explanation

He’s already given the explanation, if you believe it.

He said he didn’t have anything against Kean and just wanted to use a sub to waste time - if that was the case then there was at least 3 other players more suitable than Kean to do that.

If that was the case, he would have consoled Kean coming off the pitch.

Instead, he’s played it down to try and retain as much of Kean’s value.

 

[Ruairi77]

No, daft thing to do. Absolutely stupid.
and then to blank him??
duncs done great but he clearly over reacted and needlessly humiliated a kid in the process.

 

[LinekersLegs]

It was harsh and sadly will be a make or break moment for the lad - could well destroy his confidence completely.

But given how Dunc clearly loves other young players like DCL, and Kean’s issues with other managers, can only assume this is just the end of a series of warnings about fitness, attitude and effort.

Hi can you put Niasses stats up too so we can compare.
