2021/22 Jarrad Branthwaite

Ah you’d hope so. Don’t know whether Keane has covid and is isolating from the squad - was he pictured there today or anything?

He wasn't there no. Possibly COVID.

Godfrey was in contention to play today but just missed out. Possibly in for Thursday? I imagnie Keane will be back too.

Lampard said no Godfrey for Thursday which I was surprised about.

 

[andy4efc]

These things happen, just a lot more to us recently, we've had a lot of red cards for innocuous stuff but this one was just a clumsy tangle of legs, not the day to do it on but he's not for fault to where we are and how desperate we are for points. Mina the old spaghetti legs has been a huge miss.

He's at fault for being 5 yards ahead of the striker in the opposition half though. The tangle of legs happens but doesnt happenif he does his job properly to begin with.

*Ignoring the whole penalty deabte 3 seconds earlier)

Did he? There we go then.

 

[Oddson]

Gotta be careful we don’t make this lad a scapegoat, unfortunate, but that’s Everton?

 

[Zatara]

Lampard got cained for not playing him sooner - perhaps there was a reason i.e. lack of experience. I think Branthwaite has potential but when a manager sees a player train every day then...perhaps there is a justifiable reason

Think how many goals Keane has given away this season. The kid has just been thrown in, if he had a run of games maybe he could have been more switched on...not sure.

Branthwaite made the error of course but looked comfortable until then and good vs Chelsea.

He was in the photo with richarlisons shirt hanging off appealing for the penalty.

I think he was distracted by that and Toney took advantage.

 

[twoblue]

Hard lines young man.

I hope we don't go down as that mistake could ruin his career.

Karius esque.

Bit much that.

 

[PhilM]

This is why you don't play teenagers at CB.

Hope the useless moron never plays for us again.

It was a poor decision by him, however he’s a young lad and he was playing with a back three with Holgate and Coleman, which is far from ideal.

 

[Zatara]

Incidentally if thats Branthwaite red carded...what about the times that Gordon had been taken down from behind the same way?

Show me he needs game time, there’s a player in there, but the PL isn’t Carlisle. Sitting on the bench isn’t going to help him develop, Absolutely wrong for people to be writing him off

As mentioned I think Branthwaite has potential and I'm no fan of Keane in any way. But e.g., Keane was thrown in early on vs Leicester and didn't really put a foot wrong. He has made mistakes and I hope he's sold in the summer but he is at least experienced.

The lad was thrown on and appealing for a penalty rather than concentrating on his position and ensuring he's goal side before the clearance is even made. Why is a centre back appealing for a penalty 50 yards away? Inexperience. Harsh lesson to learn today and ultimately it cost the team in a big way.

I don't think people are writing him off more that he will be brought along at the right time. I.e., pre season and next season.

He's done nothing but make mistakes in every game he's played for us.

 

[WilliamPerry]

Young or not that was idiotic at 1-0.

I hope it doesn’t ruin his career though and he bounces back.

Hes made a mistake agreed.

But one thing to note, the defence were ALL appealing and Coleman and Holgate switched off as well.

Also, remember Keane came on into a deep defence...that moment today was when we were camped in their half.
