2018/19 Yerry Mina

[EverBlue92]

He has to play vs Brighton anyway really so feel free to just chill out.

Silva wont change the defence until we lose a game but I doubt we'll get a result tomorrow.

Keane has improved however we have played 3 teams:

Fulham
Leicester
Palace

2 of those were toothless and the other Keane struggled against Vardy and it could have finished a draw that game had he not missed a sitter.

I just think as soon as we come up against a side with pacy forwards Keane gets found out and if Silva has sense he would stick Mina alongside Zouma and get that partnership forming over the coming games.

Mina isn’t any faster than Keane

Chelsea is in two games.

Mina will likely play against Brighton to bed him in for Chelsea

Logics.

 

[Saint Domingo]

I don’t think there will be any sentiment. Keane has done ok but still has obvious issues. We paid 33 mill for Mina. As soon as he’s fully up to speed I bet he comes straight in just as every other one of Silva’s signings have. He’s benched Baines Jagielka Tosun Davies and sold Rooney. I doubt he’ll be having sleepless nights about what to do with Michael Keane.

He didnt struggle against him at all, he was pushing him out wide and all over the place, ok Vardy beat him on pace but he beats most on pace, so Keane was clever and didnt try and beat him on that but in positional play and he did it well.

Besides out of the last 3 teams you list Leciester away was a hard game because of thier home form, and besides he was playing well even before those 3. We badly missed him against West Ham and was possibly one of the reasons they found it so easy.

Keane has been one of our better players this season, without his goal and assist at Bournemouth that would of been a lost game.

Talk about replacing him with Mina is silly

Thats like saying its silly replacing Davies with Gomes is daft our record with Davies in the side is better with him than without.

No one is saying Keane hasn't improved on last season, but we've signed a likely better defender for big money whos sat on the bench and he needs to be given the chance to see how he does with Zouma.

If Mina comes in and bombs fair enough hook him and get Keane back in the starting 11 but he needs the chance to show what he's about imo otherwise there was zero point spending big money on him.

At Old Trafford? You do know he hadn't played yet for Everton? like I could be wrong but i dont recall him playing at all for us this season, and people think Keane should be dropped for him at OT? Really?

He can do that at Goodison against Brighton in place of Zouma, just like Gomes did at Goodison against Palace, but talk of him starting away at United is daft

 

[Caolam]

Keane has played well enough to keep his place in the team. I have no doubt that Mina will be our first choice centre half within a few weeks but I don't hold with dropping players who don't deserve it.

Considering Brands signed Mina and Zouma likely to be the future partnership, what good does it do replacing Zouma for Mina?

Personally I would be playing 3 at the back against both Utd and Chelsea (holgate in for Zouma at Chelsea) but sticking with the same side / formation its daft persisting with Keane imo.

Zouma cant play aginst Chelsea so Mina has to start that one, he isnt replacing as such, he has no choice. Also Holgate would got ripped apart by both those sides, even if United have been poor. Anyway why are we worring about United, tBig Sam tactic that, they for once can worry about us.

I know what you mean about future partnerships, but for now its 2 from 3, out of Keane, Zouma and Mina, and only the English man should be guaranteed a start over the next few fixtures because of the loan situation

 

[Dario Terracotta]

We've just kept another clean sheet, there are signs the defence/keeper are knitting together, why change?His chance will come, but at the right moment and I don't think that is the case tomorrow.

Mina is coming into the team anyway so it makes sense to give him his first start at home to Brighton, to give him some minutes and a chance to build up a partnership with Keane before we play Chelsea. Whether he stays in the team after that very much depends on how he plays in those 2 games.

I don't think it would be the right choice to throw him in away to United tomorrow. However, I wouldn't be at all surprised if he comes on in the second half and maybe even going to a back 3. If United start chasing the game, expect them to throw Fellaini up top and to start throwing balls into the box. Throw in Pogba and we could need Mina's height.

 

[Nymzee]

Why are we even debating this? We've just won 3 in a row with 2 clean sheets? Why split them apart it's so pointless.

 

[RomanReigns]

Michael Keane was amazing at the World Cup he should start


Oh wait

 

[Tennessee Blue Mike]

He has to come off the bench soon just to be ready in case of injury.
