Was Dunc right for hooking Kean?

[Seathestars]

We will look back at this in years to come, even if he’s no longer with Everton, and agree that today and Duncan Ferguson was the best thing that ever happened to him

 

[OnlyBlueWillDo]

Would recommend people watch his time on the pitch again -- looked leggy, wasn't doing any defensive work and was behind the play going forward. Not sure what there is to defend to be honest.

He was, he was getting back and doing his bit, tracked back and won the ball and it was given as a foul, it was never a foul either.

 

[alvinh]

Maybe.

But I really didn't see what he'd done wrong. Iwobi had an absolute stinker all second half, for example.

My guess was that Keane had been sent on with instructions and he wasn't carrying them out.

Guess is all it is though.

 

[Dymak]

The lad looks crap! Anichebe was showing far, far more at his age. More pace, more aggression, more goals! Anichebe even showed more effort ffs!

He’s another waste of money from Brands!

 

[yakublue]

No the lads 19 and we should be looking at him as a future forward. Looks low on confidence anyway so this will hardly help.
Ferguson showing his in-experience. And yes I know he’s got us a win and a draw but man management is a vital part of being a manager at this level.

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.

 

[Lanolin]

There have been performances by senior pros very recently that have been 10x worse than that and never resulted in an embarrassment like that.

Just think it's weird to start making these types of points with 19 year olds with 2 games under their belt

Did we have the same manager? No. So is that point relevant? Also no.

 

[Wat Tyler]

It was very near the end, Niasse will fight more defensively than Kean. No problem from me if Kean doesn’t make a fuss about it he will get his chance.

If it was near the end, why even do it?

Since he has came here he has started 2 league games and one LC game (as a winger), how is the lad gonna build any form with that, and then DF does that.

 

[Thomasc]

So basically we are carrying another disinterested player on the books by the looks of it.

Our recruitment has been dreadful.

 

[john jako]

Different though with Rich, he had plenty of people around him to help - Silva and Gomes (who has been over here forever)

Fair enough mate. Am well and truly got a first class ticket on the Big Dunc express and won’t have a bad word said about him.

 

[captainvindaloo]

It's a strong message: No passengers. Do your job. Do what is expected.

The manager is in charge, not the players. There's been too much pampering to these self/agent proclaimed "stars".

 

[Jonte]

I trust Dunc’s decision in this one.

Keane had the look of a spoilt brat when he came off.

Needs to do some growing up.

@Jin you should grow up too, Son.

 

[PDAWG]

The lad looks crap! Anichebe was showing far, far more at his age. More pace, more aggression, more goals! Anichebe even showed more effort ffs!

He’s another waste of money from Brands!

Who's the others?

 

[larbert toffee]

I can see why some think it was wrong to do but if he was either knackered or carrying out the managers instructions then for the sake of the right result big Dunc had every right to sub him, I want a manager who has the courage of his convictions who can then be publicly diplomatic regarding the incident.

 

[MondayHater]

So you always just trust the managers decision, you never question it?

when he has taken a team that was falling faster to the a championship quicker than if I drop a penny to the floor then yes I would.

we have beat Chelsea at home and Man Utd (after they have won three games) drawn at home then atm yes I do.

 

[Blue Juice]

Did we have the same manager? No. So is that point relevant? Also no.

Sorry boss, I'll check with you next time
