….what a composed performance from Michael Keane, obviously a terrific finish but some vital headed clearances in those last 20mins gives him my MoM.
The fact Dyche picks him ahead of O’Brien is not because he’s a ‘pet’ or a ‘favourite’, it’s solely down to judgement. It’s a results business and Managers select what they believe is their best X1 available. Most of us would select differently but Keane justified his managers decision today.
Key for me was the CM partnership of Gueye/Doucoure. Dyche has tried to find the right formula, ironic that arguably the best we’ve looked is with the two old fella’s today. I was pleasantly surprised at how decent they were in possession, Gueye played well I thought.
Lots of very decent performances today, not many poor ones. Everybody seems to be very much playing for the cause, can enjoy a few rums tonight and a delightful Chinese takeaway to celebrate Mrs Eggs birthday.
