Was Dunc right for hooking Kean?

[summerisle]

If we are not in a position to play to Keans strengths dont sub him on in the first place.

Doing what he did was absolutely idiotic regardless of Kean -

It damages the players confidence
It damages the team morale
It can create cliques in the dressing room
Its a waste of an actual sub in the game

BUT EY DOH LADS DAT BIG DUNC SHOWN SUM PASHUN HOOKIN MOIST OFF NNSO

*NSNO

More chance of Bob Latchford starting

My first real Everton hero.
I'm good with this.

Starting him against Leicester would be a perfect way to end our chances in the cup!

Regardless of the reasons why the lad looked exhausted after 10 mins against a United team that had played 80 - trying to play against a fresh Leicester team known for their workrate would be disastrous for both Everton and any remaining Kean confidence.

We have games coming thick and fast and he will play a part, he is definitely fit enough to last 90mins. Many reason contributes to a regrettable event today but fitness is definitely not a major factor. Leicester barely beat us the last time round and it won’t be a walkover this time with our much improved team.

 

[Walken]

Its a battle of wills.

Yeah the lads 19, hes now got 2 choices, he can sulk, moan and go into his shell.

Or he can pull his tripe out and work for his spot.

Why back a young player into that corner, it's not necessary

 

[LouReedwalkonthewildside]

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.

How does that work considering most of the world would have seen what happened?

 

[Axlswhk]

He's done the sum total of diddlysquat to earn a start.
This is Everton Football Club.
You earn your shirt, not be given it because of what you cost or where you were signed from.

if he show enough desire to prove himself why not? Must we go all out to destroy his career and throw 30m out the window?

 

[wba83]

He was just saying that to be diplomatic. Lad was way off the pace

Most definitely . For all we know he might of been given percific instructions to do on the pitch as we were under some pressure and not done as he was asked ? But who knows

Must we pander to his every whim and bomb out the cup as a result cos he can't be arsed putting a shift in?

Nah

Add in our injury list and he certainly should play a part - at least he will do if that substitution hasn’t totally destroyed him.

We’ll have to agree to disagree on his fitness.

 

[peteblue]

I’m surprised he replaced Bernard tbh....

Before my time !

Nah

So are you suggesting we should never play him again even if he shows a desire to put today’s event behind and prove his worth again?

 

[longers]

Bit harsh that he of all players had to suffer this embarrassment given the likes of Schnieds etc have put in countless performances with zero effort over multiple years and never been humilated in such fashion.

 

[tommye]

been given percific instructions

Latchford and Dave Thomas for me Tommye.
